STCE-RTU Telecontrol Device

SCOPE OF TRAINING:

• Knowledge of architecture and functioning of STCE/RTU telecontrol devices
• Faults finding and maintenance of devices
• Configuration, managing and maintenance from remote of devices

TARGET ATTENDEES: engineers and technicians which configure and keep the system. They can take care of device wiring  and field connections problems, make the first level intervention on STCE-RTU devices in case of fault, perform extraordinary maintenance of the system from field, when this implies to modify STCE-RTU device software personalization

REQUIREMENTS: to attend the training, it is required to have some basic pc notions.

NUMBER OF ATTENDANTS: group of up to 10 people suggested

PRACTISE: practical maintenance exercises are part of the of the training. To allow practise module at least half of attendees must have a pc. Training classroom will be also provided with STCE/RTU device, manteinance pc and field simulator, projector.

DOCUMENTATION: attendant will receive slides pack and technical documentation in electronic format.
