Wonderware Training Learning Paths

There are two distinct learning paths available for your technical training needs. The correct learning path depends on which Wonderware products comprise the infrastructure of your system or solution:

• Wonderware System Platform, or • Wonderware InTouch

While both learning paths share certain courses, each one has a different entry point:

• The Wonderware System Platform learning path starts with the Application Server training course. • The Wonderware InTouch learning path starts with the InTouch training course.

It is important to note that the Wonderware InTouch product is used as the visualization component regardless of the infrastructure in place, but we have designed and developed InTouch training courses tailored specifically for each infrastructure:

• The InTouch for System Platform training course is designed for users of applications based on the Wonderware System Platform infrastructure. It teaches how to use the InTouch product as the visualization component of object-based applications built with Application Server.

• The InTouch training course is designed for users of tag-based applications created with Wonderware InTouch.

Some of our courses can be taken standalone, that is, they don't have another class as a pre-requisite (for example, Historian Client training or IntelaTrac training). This is not the case for the majority of our training courses, which require knowledge of other products. For a graphical representation of the dependencies between all the different courses we offer, please refer to the following diagrams:

It might not be obvious to identify which infrastructure is in place, if you are not familiar with the

products. Here are things to look for to help identify the correct learning path for you:

•

If your application is using the ArchestrA framework, developed from the ArchestrA IDE,

hosted in a Galaxy, and is object-based, the infrastructure is

Wonderware System

Platform

.

•

If your application is tag-based, the infrastructure is

Wonderware InTouch

.

Keep in mind that the most recent versions of

Wonderware InTouch

allow the creation of

tag-based applications using the ArchestrA IDE and hosted within a Galaxy for the sole purpose of

using the new ArchestrA Graphics. These applications are not really object-based.

Wonderware Training Learning Paths

It might not be obvious to identify which infrastructure is in place, if you are not familiar with the

products. Here are things to look for to help identify the correct learning path for you:

If your application is using the ArchestrA framework, developed from the ArchestrA IDE,

hosted in a Galaxy, and is object-based, the infrastructure is

Wonderware System

Platform

.

If your application is tag-based, the infrastructure is

Wonderware InTouch

.

Keep in mind that the most recent versions of

Wonderware InTouch

allow the creation of

tag-based applications using the ArchestrA IDE and hosted within a Galaxy for the sole purpose of

using the new ArchestrA Graphics. These applications are not really object-based.
