DCS Training for Control Room Operators

Description

Many new and inexperienced control room operators enter plants every year. This course is aimed at training both new and experienced operators. The course focuses not only on the mechanics of how to use the DCS but also covers many of the intricate details necessary for skilled and high quality operation.

This course covers important DCS operational details, including DCS tag attributes, parameters, and fields, and how to start up complex control schemes. We cover procedures for how to detect control problems and tackle them quickly and effectively. The course covers DCS graphics.

The course helps to prevent careless mistakes that could potentially cause shut-downs and encourages safe habits. The operators also learn to fully utilize features like alarms, trending, event monitoring, history, and other advanced features that can make the operators’ time more effective. The course also covers the meaning and use of various types of DCS tags – PV, analog, digital, input/output, numerics, summers, multipliers, timers, sequence programs, continuous programs, and many other tags.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the course, operators will be skilled in all basic, advanced and practical concepts of DCS operations. They will understand DCS tag attributes and variables. They will know how to activate control schemes correctly, troubleshoot process and control problems, and identify tuning problems. They would have learned tag ranges, tuning parameters, alarm system, alarm limits, rate of change limits, trending in the DCS, event history, logs, reports, and security.

The course also teaches safety and important good habits recommended for operators. This course is a must for any operator or technician and will be of great value to engineers and supervisors too.
