Introduction to Process Control, PLC, DCS & SCADA Systems
10 days · English or French · Canada or Dubai
This course is designed to give a practical introduction and overview of the principles of measurement and control of process plant. It is a hands-on workshop and participants will have the opportunity to explore the set-up and tuning of control loops using simulation and other computer-based training packages. Whilst suitable for graduates who require a practical introduction to measurement and control systems on process plant, it is also valuable to anyone working in process industries who would like to understand the techniques used in measurement and control and who have not had the opportunity to learn about them before, or who would like a good solid refresher.
Typical audience
I&C engineers, technicians and maintenance personnel
