DCS System Maintenance: Re-Fresh on Latest DCS Tech. HW, Maintenance, Procedures, SW Install, and Back-up Procedures

Introduction

This course introduces you to DCS, its general control Concept, and the areas of applications in the industry in which they are being applied. Distributed control refers to a system of digital instrumentation that is distributed geographically and also functionally. In the geographical context, a number of electronic assemblies are located in processing areas throughout a plant, wired to process-mounted sensors from which they receive information about the process conditions and also connected to process-regulating devices to which they send commands generated by programs that process the sensor-derived information. Including its scanning method, also covered its architecture and configurations, system tag name, function blocks configuration, network, and data communication, I/O modules and subsystem communication also will cover The Advantages of DCS from many points of view Management Consideration, and Operator Requirement Consideration.

Objectives

• To understand the major components which make up the Systems, operation of modules, performance-critical protection, basic System configuration within the software, Fault Reporting, I/O Circuits employed in the system, including redundancy and fault tolerance.
• To identify, isolate and repair faults of field interfaces as well as the Controller equipment
• To understand and perform the steps necessary to initialize the system, Including power-up sequences and program loading and execution
• To perform routine maintenance operations on the system
• To be familiar with the system drawings and documentation as required to support maintenance and troubleshooting procedures
• Be able to interpret module information, carry out module replacement and plant maintenance

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
