NOTE: This is a fast-paced course. We will cover two books in one week.
PRE-REQUISITES: Student must have some knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, and an understanding of general mathematics and Windows Operating Systems.

The System Platform Combo class provides a fundamental understanding of the features and functionality of both OMI and Application Server. This course provides lectures and hands-on labs to supply and reinforce the knowledge necessary to build both an OMI app and the ArchestrA data objects to drive the OMI using the ArchestrA tools and services in the System Platform environment.

The class will demonstrate how to use Application Server to utilize the ArchestrA technology to connect to field devices, process data, run scripts, handle alarms, and historize alarms and events. This is achieved using features and functionality such as Automation Objects, templates, instances, the ArchestrA Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and the QuickScript .NET scripting engine.

This course also provides a fundamental understanding of Galaxy maintenance, real-time alarm recording and security settings, and how to setup redundancy.

Students will learn how to use OMI to be the ‘front-end’ of their SCADA system while Application Server is providing the ‘back-end’, or data side of the system.

This class will take pieces from each book (Application Server, and OMI). It is not intended to be a replacement for each of those classes. It is intended for those who have some experience in each product and would like to tie both together in a single week. The pace will be quick.
