Distributed Control Systems (DCS) - Future Trends (PowerPoint PPT)

DESCRIPTION

This product (Distributed Control Systems [DCS] - Future Trends) is a 56-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation (PPT) with a supplemental Zip archive file document, which you can download immediately upon purchase.

The full course on Distributed Control Systems (DCS) consists of 19 training modules. This document refers to the 19th training module only, Future Trends. In looking towards future trends in the area of Process Control, some of the main topics to be reviewed are:

•  Measurement Technology
•  Control System Technology
•  Communication Technology

This product also includes 2 exams (in the secondary document ZIP), which cover topics and covered by the full DCS course. In other words, the subject matter of these exams are not limited to only this 19th module .

Upon the successful completion of the full DCS course (all 19 modules), you will be able to:

•  Apply an in-depth knowledge and skills in DCS systems and implement systematic applications, selection and troubleshooting techniques and methods
•  Identify the DCS hardware & software particularly the traditional process controllers, programming, execution time, configuration, etc.
•  List the parts and configuration of the SCADA system and determine its basic architecture and levels of hierarchy
•  Differentiate DCS from PLC and SCADA and discuss their features and functions
•  Determine the types of DCS used in petroleum refining processes and explain their specific function in each process
•  Employ the concepts of alarm management system including its types, features, architecture and functions
•  Discuss the concepts of humans in control and identify the factors that contribute in the following concept
•  Recognize the safety considerations involved in DCS such as intrinsic safety, explosion, approval standards, oxygen, etc.
•  Identify types of redundancy and recognize how it works
•  Appreciate the principles analogue and digital field communications and discuss its transmitter classifications, intrinsic safety, fieldbus communications & technologies, etc.
•  Discuss the concepts of safety instrumented systems and explain its functions, integration and hazard and risk analysis
•  Explain the maintenance considerations of DCS and identify the various types of failures and faults
•  Select the proper DCS system for each application and determine the system specification, its functional description, and diagrams
