CODAC Core System hands-on workshop

En complément de l'ensemble CODAC Core System, l'équipe CODAC d'°ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ Organization organise des ateliers pratiques, où les participants apprennent à construire leur propre système I&C avec le CODAC Core System et du matériel réel (automates programmables industriels, ou PLCs en anglais ; contrôleurs rapides ; ES analogiques ou logiques, ...). Les ateliers sont organisés sur quatre jours avec des présentations et des exercices pratiques. Puisque les ateliers sont exclusivement organisés en anglais, la suite des informations sera dans cette langue.

The workshop agenda typically looks like this:

  • Day 1: Core System Overview / EPICS introduction / Self-Description Data tools (SDD) / Development workflow
  • Day 2: EPICS database / Fast controllers
  • Day 3: Slow controllers (PLC) / State Notation Language (SNL) / Other Controller (POC) integration
  • Day 4: Control System Studio (CSS) / Software delivery

It is very important to choose your training time wisely with regard to your plant system development progress, so that you could get maximum knowledge of the latest CODAC software and hardware at the right time of your development. Our recommendation is to sign up for a training session by the time your I&C design is advanced enough to proceed with implementation. If you are just looking for a general idea of what the CODAC Core System is, we recommend that you look through the training videos available at the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¸ßÊÖ E-Learning Centre (intranet site).
