  • OVERVIEW

    This three-day intensive training program is designed to equip participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to design, program, and integrate Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) with Human-Machine Interface (HMI) systems in industrial automation. Using Delta’s DVP-14SS2 PLC and DOP Series HMI with DOPSoft 4.0 and ISPSoft, participants will progress from foundational programming to advanced system integration.


    The course covers sequential control of electro-pneumatic cylinders, design and configuration of operator interfaces, arithmetic and data register operations, Modbus communication protocols, and Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) control via PLC and HMI.Hands-on exercises will reinforce programming logic, hardware interfacing, and troubleshooting techniques essential for real-world automation systems.

  • Distance Protection

    In the first session of the program, we will discuss the basic measurement principle and construction of the distance protection. Distance protection is a complex protection and basic understanding of the protection makes the user extremely comfortable in working with this complex protection. This 2- hour webinar provides a good insight on the construction of the distance protection and some basic application criteria. This webinar will enable the protection engineers to feel extremely comfortable with the complex protection. Understanding the complexity of the protection increases system reliability and increases the productivity of the test engineers. 


    In the second 2-hour session we will concentrate mainly of testing and protection evaluation aspect. The meaningful testing of the complex digital protection will be discussed using the commercially available power system simulators. 


    Use of ComTrade data in protection evaluation will be discussed in detail. Learn more here.
