ATR Automation Training

The System Platform Maintenance course teaches students the essential problem-solving skills to resolve System Platform issues. The course will explain System Platform's architecture and basic functionality, resources to reference for help, and how to work in the system to solve problems faced in the field. The standard features of the software provide a base-level understanding of the components involved, including creating a Galaxy, the plant model, redundancy, and other development processes. Students will also learn how to export and import objects, dump and load objects for mass configuration changes, and back up a Galaxy.

 The subsequent portions of the course focus on connecting to field devices (PLC, RTU, remote IO module, etc) and troubleshooting this connection from the source to the object. Following the signal from the source to the destination provides a comprehensive understanding of the communications pathway. After communications are established, historizing those object attributes allows students to go back in time to see what happened, give a complete picture of the real-time data seen in the field, and determine the root cause of issues in context with process values. Lastly, the licensing and installation processes are covered for setting up a new system and transferring licensing from one system to another.
