The focus of this course is to introduce the participants to Distributed Control Systems (DCS), their architectures and design process. The course investigates the different elements involved with DCS systems from ergonomic design considerations to communication protocols and system reporting. In addition, the course sheds light on alarm system management in DCS and related issues. The course also investigates typical DCS applications, discusses practical related issues, and compares between various DCS vendors.
At the end of the course, the participants will be able to;
- Procure a solid understanding of the architecture and operation of Distributed Control Systems (DCSs).
- Have ability to design the overall DCS and process control system.
- Comprehend understanding of the key ergonomic issues in design of operator displays.
- Use more effectively existing DCS process control capabilities.
