• Calculate flow rates and orifice sizing.

Control Systems Engineering (8235)This instructor-led advanced engineering course will helpincrease plant utilization and performance by generating asound foundation of process control theories explainingwhy processes behave the way they do; therefore, enablingyou to apply more efficient methods of control. Mostprocess control courses try to explain process control con-cepts in either a qualitative manner or a pure quantitativemanner. Neither is satisfactory. The first simplifies the sub-ject too much to make it useful for understanding how

processes behave and why particular control strategies aresuccessful. The latter involves too much math, making thesubject too abstract for any real-world application. The8235 Control Systems Engineering course combines qualita-tive and quantitative approaches. It explains the essentialproperties of process by the performances we observe onrecorders and screens. In this way, you begin to appreciatethe essence of process control at once with a foundationupon which you can easily build.

Introduction to I/A Series Process OperationsA truly hands-on approach to learning I/A Series systemoperations.

This comprehensive program requires the student to:describe the functions of various parts of a typical opera-tor’s workstation; access process displays, overlays andenvironments; and perform windowing operations, suchas moving, resizing and stacking. In addition, users willlearn to recognize when a process alarm has occurred,determine its cause, and acknowledge the alarm. You willuse trend displays, in the real-time and historical modes,to observe variations in process conditions and assignprocess variables to trend displays.

The Process Operations package also familiarizes you withthe Operator Action Journal and the Process SummaryReporter. After successfully completing this program, userswill also be able to recognize the occurrence of a systemalarm and use the printer alarm message to identify thefailed component. Advanced topics, which are intendedfor multi-functional personnel, include:

Use the System Management Display Handler to:

• Identify a failed component and acknowledge thealarm.

• Set the system time and date.

• Access equipment information displays and interpretthe information presented.

• Make equipment changes, such as rebooting a compo-nent and alarm enabling.

• Use the PLB Monitor display to observe and test ladderlogic operation.

• Interpret and test the programming provided by asequence block.

This self-paced course consists of multiple modules toaccommodate the objectives listed. Every moduleincludes a pre-test to identify topics appropriate for yourunique needs, an interactive lesson, a hands-on lab exer-cise, and “check yourself” review questions. In addition,post-tests for each module allow you to continually trackyour progress. The simulated lab exercises are performedon your I/A Series training system.
