Description

INSTRUMENTATION, AUTOMATION AND PROCESS CONTROL
The instrumentation, automation and process control module contains the elaborated concepts on three engineering fields namely instrumentation engineering, automation engineering and process engineering. Instrumentation refers to the devices and instruments that are used in various processes. Automation refers to the automatic working of instruments. Process engineering refers to the study of processes that are carried out in any type of industry and industrial applications.
The fundamentals and selection criteria of measuring devices like pressure transducers, level transducers, temperature transducers and flow measurements are detailed. The Piping & instrument diagram and symbols for the instrumentation devices are listed and selection criteria are discussed. The process automation control and their types are incorporated with the process systems. The new technology oriented smart instruments and their data signals are further discussed. This module will disseminate information to technical professionals who would like to gain comprehensive technical, as well as practical, knowledge on instrumentation, process and automation systems.

 

CONTROL VALVE SIZING, SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE
In any industries, the shop floor contains many processes that are linked together to get a desired product. In order to achieve the desired product, the intermediate processes must have to be functioned in a controlled manner. These processes are designed to do their own desired task under controlled system. The control valve is the one that is used to control the independent parameters such as temperature, pressure, volume, flow rate, etc. at each sub systems in a shop floor. There are many changes/disturbances in the desired product from the designed product even after the system is controlled. The design and the proper selection and maintenance of the control valve is the only key factor that alters the product nature. In order to achieve the ideal product, the design of control valve is mandatory.

This practical task gives scope to this module on control valve sizing, selection and maintenance; this enables personnel to gain detailed study on the design of controllers, types and selection of control valves; plus calculations, performance and maintenance in context. This advanced course comes under the process engineering discipline.


PRACTICAL SCADA SYSTEMS FOR INDUSTRY
SCADA has traditionally meant a window into the process of a plant or gathering of data from devices in the field, but now the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business and using it in real time. The emphasis today is on using open standards such as communication protocols (e.g. OPC, MODBUS, and TCP/IP) and ‘off-the-shelf’ hardware, such as industrial Ethernet to keep the costs down. This module covers the essentials of SCADA systems.

Topics include an introduction to SCADA systems, SCADA system hardware and software (including alarm management and Human Management Interface (HMI) issues) and a review of the RS-232/RS-485 interface standards and the MODBUS and DNP3 protocols.

This module continues to give a review of industrial Ethernet, TCP/IP and MODBUS/TCP, the role of Open Process Control (OPC) in plant SCADA systems, and discussion of network security, SCADA historians and troubleshooting issues.

Although the emphasis will be on practical industry topics highlighting recent developments using case studies and the latest application of SCADA technologies, the fundamentals of SCADA systems will also be covered. This module is aimed at those who want to be updated on the latest developments in SCADA systems and want to get a solid appreciation of the fundamentals of SCADA design, installation and troubleshooting.


SPECIFICATION AND TECHNICAL WRITING
Technical writing is unique because of its specialized content. It conveys technical content through specific, clear and concise writing. This fundamental module on technical writing helps the learner to assess the needs of the users and create documents that explain technical information. It also instils basic knowledge on the mechanics of good technical writing. In addition to the above, the students also learn how to build effective sentences and sections that explain information clearly and create informative content that readers will understand and use.


PROCESS AND ELECTRICAL DRAWINGS
The electrical and process drawings portion of the course will be reference through each module and is support by dedicated P&ID videos. This section makes reference to diagrams from the simple block diagram to the comprehensive engineering process line diagrams which aid in planning and fabrication of the plant. To be effective, expert knowledge is required on the use of mass and energy balances in process design. The fundamentals and principles of which, will be covered.
