Course #810 | Elec-Engg | Trainer: Dr. Saeed Roostaee
Industrial communication protocols play a vital role in modern SCADA systems, substation automation, and power system control. Understanding how these protocols work in practice is essential for protection, control, and automation engineers.
In this practical training course, we explore two widely used industrial communication protocols: Modbus and DNP3.
The training combines theoretical fundamentals with hands-on exercises, protocol simulation, configuration, and network traffic analysis using Wireshark.
