Categories >> Electrical & Instrumentation:   Instrumentation & Process Control for Industrial Applications     Program Duration : 5 Days Program Date : 19-23 February, 2012 Program Location : Cairo, Egypt Program Fees : US$ 3200/Per Person   PROGRAM INTRODUCTION: Control systems for industrial applications have advanced dramatically during the last decade. They become more modular and more sophisticated offering a vast variety of control functions for all the systems that operate within a modern "intelligent" facility. Enhanced functionality of the automation systems also means more complexity, interactive strategies, new technologies and systems management with resulting better control and improved reliability. This course provides participants with the perfect bridge between the theories/principles and the practical knowledge gained on the factory floor. It provides a thorough exposition of instrument components (both analog and digital), pneumatics, actuators, and regulators and details their application to the industrial process. Each topic will be discussed in a logically organized manner and contains an abundance of realistic problems, examples, and illustrations to challenge the participants to think and encourage them to apply this knowledge to the solution of practical problems. This course is designed for engineers and technicians in order to update them with the latest technologies in industrial instrumentation and process control. The course will describe the electricity and sensors relating to level, pressure, flow, temperature, humidity, and mechanical measurements. Regulators and actuators, signal conditioning and transmission, and documentation and symbols. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of the course, participants should be able to:- Understand the basic measurement concepts of instrumentation and process control Know the different technologies currently in use in pressure, level, temperature and flow measurement Know the different types of actuators and accessories used on the different types of valves plus an appreciation of actuator forces, positioners and fail safe systems Recognize the features of basic control systems including cascade control Understand the combined concept of feedforward / feedback and ratio control in terms of practical applications Review new and long term trends in instrumentation and process control Know the different techniques for tuning PID controllers Recognize the various forms of digital fieldbus communication and Smart transmitters Be familiar with the subjects of Distributed Control Systems (DCS), Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and SCADA plus an appreciation of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS)   PROGRAM OUTLINES:   This intensive course will cover the following topics: Introduction to Instrumentation P & ID Drawing Standards Loop Diagrams Pressure, Level, Temperature and Flow Control Valves Troubleshooting Digital Controllers Advanced Process Control Techniques  Day 1 1.
