NEW! Application Server 2012 Training

We have released the new Application Server 2012 training course as an update to System Platform - Application Server 3.1.

As it's predecessor, the new Application Server 2012 course is a 4-day, instructor-led class designed to provide a fundamental understanding of the features and functionality of the Wonderware Application Server 2012 software. The class provides lectures and hands-on labs to supply and reinforce the knowledge necessary to use the ArchestrA tools and services in the System Platform for plant modeling.

This course has been scheduled on a monthly basis starting in June 2012 at our training facility in Lake Forest, California. Our next session is scheduled for August 14-17, 2012.

The course will 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, how to utilize the InTouch Alarm DB Logger for real-time alarm recording and security settings, and how to setup redundancy.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Create and deploy new applications using ArchestrA IDE
• Model the plant floor using automation objects
• Acquire plant floor data from PLCs and other field devices
• Work with the alarm and history configuration in a Galaxy
• Define the security model for a Galaxy
• Configure application-level and device integration redundancy

Audience

Engineers, application developers, system integrators, and other individuals who need to use Application Server in their manufacturing processes.
