Objective
You undesrstand the structure and the functions of the hardware and software in distributed control system (DCS). You can configure the basic application software loops for the laboratory process and you learn how to test the applications in a real process.
EUR-ACE ENGINEERING PRACTICE
You can configure independently a proper process control according to an initial data. You can configure the basic measurements, final elements, control loops, test your application, and you can tune the control loops. You can find and solve the malfunctions.
Content
Application design for process station and user interface
Hardware and software structure of distributed control systems
Fieldbuses and field devices
Testing
