More advanced course on how DCS works in commercial and industrial machine control or HVAC control.  Study system integration and problems encountered, solutions to try.  Learn about proper installation and maintenance. See what and where to test when things don't work right.  Student should have a good background in AC/DC, Solid State, and Digital.  Instrumentation or process control background is a plus but not required.  Class length depends on variety of equipment and amount of lab.

NOTE: Course is part of training program to "qualify" a person to work on or near "energized" electrical equipment as per NEC and OSHA requirements.

• Production managers
• Team leaders

Basic overview of how and why DCS controls work or sometimes fail.  Study terms and their meanings.  Find out why a quality installation is so important.  Learn why maintenance teams struggle to repair failed systems.  See if the systems you have are really the right way to go.  Class length depends on the variety of systems and possible tour.

Course starts with basic control problems and how to identify them and the underlying cause.  Focus is on sensors and other control devices.  Control circuits are covered next with emphasis on safety and proper test procedures.  Power, grounding, electrical noise, and static electricity problems will also be studied. Intermittent and complex equipment interaction problems will be looked at. 

Student needs to have good understanding of AC/DC, solid-state, and electrical drawings.  Any of those subjects can be incorporated into the course.  Extensive hands-on labs are included in this course.  Class length depends on need and student knowledge; previous experience is a big plus.
