ON GOING MAJOR PROJECTS

1. Training in Information Technology for the BEd/MEd holders among SC/ST communities in the State with the funding of Department of Information Technology, Govt. of India. The project envisages to impart training to 600 candidates by 2009-10. This project is designed and conceived by the Cybersri division of CDIT.

2. As part of the External Tie up with the Continuing Education Cell of the Polytechnic Colleges under the Directorate of Technical Education, Govt. of Kerala, CDIT offer seven courses through the  CE Cell of Polytechnic Colleges across the State. The details of courses offered under this tie up are as follows.

It has been observed that the demand for high end and Industry relevant courses like Industrial Instrumentation and Automation have been increasing in the education scenario in the context of employment opportunities in India and abroad. Close on the heels of  this industry requirement, CDIT entered in to this field by offering industrial automation and instrumentation courses as part of the educational partnership programme. In order to provide quality training in this field so as to equip the students, highly advanced and state of the art facilities are required . The Resolute Education Campus (REC) is functioning as the Facilitation Support Partner of the  Industrial Automation and Instrumentation programmes of CDIT.

This course programme aims providing the students with a better understanding of advanced control process and automation technology such as PROGRAMABLE LOGIC CONTROLED SYSTEMS like Lift control , conveyor control , traffic light control and Speed control of motors etc.. The person who is undergoing  this training will be equipped to grab job opportunities in this field by exposing to modern trends in digital measurements, electronic and pneumatic features inherent in the control process using DCS, PLC and SCADA.

C-DIT Automation 
-meet the global automation demands!!

All modern industries like refineries, petrochemical industries, steel plants, cement industries, shipyards etc work under automation using computer technology. From small scale industries to large-scale petrochemical refineries use numerous instruments. The operation, maintenance and periodical calibrations of such instruments and the wide computerization of industries made possible through the application of automation systems. This makes huge demand for automation engineers and instrumentation experts. That is why C-DIT comes with a vision to develop skilled industrial automation experts in order to meet the global needs of industry by assuring the existence of a sufficient quantity of qualified automation engineers who are highly sought after by industry world wide.


C-Dit REC
Meeting the challenges of the information age

C-DIT Computerized automation training programs

The training programmes focusing the area of PLC/SCADA controlled Industrial automation in the Process Industry. It has been specifically designed for diploma students, fresh engineering graduates and for working individuals keen on enhancing their career opportunities and upgrading their knowledge in the field.
The course will introduce you to latest industry trends, and equip you with ‘Knowledge tools’ relevant to Control and Automation industry.
Course Advantages

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. It generally refers to an industrial control system: a computer system monitoring and controlling a process. The process can be industrial, infrastructure or facility based as described below:

The SCADA lab specially designed for people who want a thorough understanding of industrial automation using SCADA software and how to interface various PLCs according to the industry requirements.

2.  PLC INTERFACING LAB

A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or programmable controller is a digital computer used for automation of electromechanical processes, such as control of machinery on factory assembly lines, control of amusement rides, or control of lighting fixtures. PLCs are used in many different industries and machines such as packaging and semiconductor machines. Programs to control machine operation are typically stored in battery-backed or non-volatile memory. A PLC is an example of a real time system since output results must be produced in response to input conditions within a specified time, otherwise unintended operation will result.

The functionality of the PLC has evolved over the years to include sequential relay control, motion control, process control, distributed control systems and networking.
The most common application is for individual machine control but can range to full plant control linking several PLCs together. On a particular machine, speed, options, Safety, operator interface, pneumatic, hydraulic, electricity are some items that may be controlled. PLCs have several different types of input and output cards depending on the type out interface desired. All machines, room temperatures, power monitoring, even security can be joined by linking several PLCs. These can then be displayed and controlled by a single Graphical User Interface (GUI) o a standard Personal Computer.

3. NETWORKING LAB

While most people associate the term “computer networking” with only local area network setup, but local area network administration place vital role in computer networking.  Security is a part of every network administrators job, whether there is confidential data stored on computers that must be protected or there are user who need to be prevented for deleting vital operating system and application file, network security is a huge and complex subject

That is why CDIT REC lab is designed to impart a deep and lasting appreciation for the mechanics of networking. This is a quantum leap beyond merely preparing you for a certification program; moreover it will help you for thinking your way through the myriad challenges that await information technology professional in the real world.

4. ROUTER LAB

Wide area net work (WANs) and their component technologies continue to increase in importance. Not very many years ago about the only need most companies had for WANs was to internet work two or more work locations. For example, a company with only a single work location might need a robust connection to the internet to support marketing, customer care and many other functions.

CISCO makes a smorgasbord of routers, hub and switches product, that is why C-DIT REC WAN LAB includes all available form CISCO, you can make much more informed decision about exactly which products will most strategically meet your networking needs This certification programme helps you with that by going over Cisco’s product line of hubs, routers ,and switches in a serial section and also help you to be competent  in WAN administration.
 
5. WIRELESS LAB

A wireless LAN is a closely grouped system of devices that communicate via radio waves instead of wires. Wireless LANs typically assigned to replace wired computer networks, providing users with more flexibility and freedom of movement within the work space, using the company intranet or even the world wide web from any where on the company campus without relying on the availability of wired cables and connection.
If information is the life blood of today’s business environment, then wireless network is it's heart. Wide varities of industries have discovered the benefits a WLAN can bring not only to daily task but also to the balance sheets, that is why the CDIT REC campus provide training and certification in wireless networking. This certification will get you started in your wireless career by ensuring you have the skills to successfully administer enterprise-class wireless LANs.
 
6. PLC/SCADA Controlled Process Plant

The unique feature of REC Automation lab is the PLC Controlled Process Plant, which is only one of its kinds in South India. This Plant is a far advanced model equipped with pressure, temperature, flow, pH measurement and viscosity sensors.
The data from these sensors are transmitted through electronic modems to a Master Control Room for monitoring. Various controllers and Actuators have been used to take corrective measures and control system.
This advanced process plant facility is built in central Kerala with vision to train engineering students and working professionals in various control and SCADA Applications without traveling outside of our state.


In-Plant Training Tie-Ups

After the successful completion of course, the REC offers the facility for the In-plant training at   reputed industries.*
