Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using one of our state-of-the-art simulators. Control systems for industrial applications have advanced dramatically during the last decade. They become more modular and more sophisticated offering a vast variety of control functions for all the systems that operate within a modern "intelligent" facility. Enhanced functionality of the automation systems also means more complexity, interactive strategies, new technologies and systems management with resulting better control and improved safety and reliability.This course provides participants with the perfect bridge between theories and practical knowledge gained on the plant floor. It provides a thorough exposition of control components, pneumatics, actuators, and regulators and details their application to the industrial process. The course is designed for engineers and technicians in order to update them with the latest technologies in process automation, control and safeguarding. It covers the systematic method for selecting safety integrity levels (SIL?s) for safety instrumented systems (SIS). Some of the material in this course is based on the application of the safety life cycle as it is described in the international standards ANSI SP 84 ?Application of Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industries? and EN/IEC 61508/61511. This course expands upon the framework developed in these standards. In addition to describing the tasks that users should perform during the safety life cycle, this course also provides detailed procedures for accomplishing these tasks. These procedures are based on risk analysis and reliability engineering principles from a variety of disciplines. Each topic will be discussed in a logically organized manner and contains an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to challenge the participants to think and encourage them to apply this knowledge to the solution of practical problems.
