Process Measurement & Control – Course No. PMC-100   Download brochure
6 PDH hours (6 contact hours)
Prerequisite: None

Discusses types of measurements available, some common problems, and leads the participants toward a basic understanding of the effects of the measurement on the control loop. Examines considerations on types and styles of control devices from solenoids to motor driven valves, and requirements for successful control of the process.

Covers each term of a P,I,D controller and how each is applied in a process control loop. Ratio, cascade and feedforward control are also discussed. Emphasis is placed on simple explanations with little technical detail. A typical measurement and control loop is built for illustration. Failsafe considerations and use of available features to solve difficult problems are reviewed.

Boiler Control System Analysis, Selection & Implementation – Course No. BCS-100

6 PDH hours (6 contact hours)
Prerequisite: None

Discusses the steam generation process and basic terminology used in boiler control. Examines major control loops and their objectives with various control strategies along with their advantages and disadvantages. Covers burner management for single- and multi-burner boilers including field instrumentation requirements and logic strategies for NFPA compliance.

Various methods of calculating boiler efficiency and project payback are discussed with emphasis on controllable losses. A payback analysis example is included for illustration. Participants review best practices for installation, comissioning and startup including combustion testing and tuning as well as common problems, their causes and solutions.

PRODUCT TECHNICAL TRAINING

Students are given detailed instruction on the hardware and software of the 53MC5000 Process Control Station. The student will learn to configure the instrument using F-CIM, FCS and introductory F-TRAN programming languages, and develop configurations ranging from basic PID to complex applications. Front face operation is covered as well as basic troubleshooting techniques. The course includes detailed lectures and emphasizes hands-on practical labs.

A continuation of the introductory programming explored in Course 5002. Includes detailed descriptions of all language commands and extensive hands-on exercises. Students learn techniques for building custom displays and constructing advanced control strategies.
