COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using one of our state-of-the-art simulators. 

Since its inception, the concept of Distributed Control Systems has swept alternative control technologies from the field. The substantial growth in grass-roots construction of plants in the traditional heavy process industries, such as power generation, refining, oil and gas, water and petrochemicals is driving significant growth in the utilization of Distributed Control Systems (DCS). The broad architecture of a solution involves either a direct connection to physical equipment, such as switches, pumps and valves or connection via a fieldbus communication system. 

 

With the advent of high-speed data highways and locally collected plant information, Distributed Control Systems are being used to reduce cabling costs, as well as the implementation of advanced control strategies. The course will cover the practical applications of Distributed Control Systems. The course is based on a selection of subjects that either have had a strong impact on distributed systems today, or explore novel ideas which may be important in the future. 

This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of DCS System (Honeywell), distributed control system process and experion operation. It covers the EXPERION PKS operation; the transition to a new control system; the usage of standard control displays; the EXPERION PKS’s HMI web graphic displays to control and monitor the process; the process trend displays for better control; and the process and system alarm indications for quicker response to process and system upsets.
