Engineering Institute of Technology
Professional Certificate of Competency in Instrumentation, Automation and Process Control
Industry TrainingThis professional development course is designed for engineers and technicians who need to gain practical knowledge of selection, installation, and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and control valves.
This course is for individuals primarily involved in the design, specification, and implementation of control and measurement equipment. It will help you achieve effective results for industrial processes, by going over new technologies such as smart instrumentation and Fieldbus.
We will cover instrumentation terms, concepts, diagrams, and symbols, as well as an overview of the use of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in industrial applications. You will also learn about control valve principles and common valve types.
This course will also help you understand how to implement an instrument and wiring number system, and how to integrate a complete system (considering instrumentation and total errors) as well as selection criteria, commissioning and testing.
The course focuses on real applications, with attention to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting or installing different measurement or control equipment. It will help you appreciate factory and site acceptance testing. You will also learn about reliability centered maintenance and spare parts analysis and considerations for building in-house panels and installations.
