This training will train you to interact with them intelligently and professionally. As a control engineer, you will interact with electrical engineers, instrument technicians, and process engineers. In this training, you will also learn a part of what an Instrument Engineer must know to be a control engineer. By the end of this training, a student can spec-out the system for a new plant/manufacturing facility, complete network architecture, install programs on a new system, program the logic based on the functional narrative of the process, complete functional tests, create Human Machine Interface (HMI), verify the communications with the peripheral systems using advanced communication protocols (Modbus, OPC) commission the DCS in a test system, and will learn how to hand-over the final system to operations. We will help you structure your training based on what you know and what you want to know. If you have any familiarity with Honeywell Experion PKS System already, this training course will help you enhance your knowledge. In this course, you will learn to architecture and program Honeywell Experion PKS System using various programming tools. The following information covers the details of our DCS training for Honeywell Experion PKS System Training. Have a discussion with our career councillor (free of cost) to decide which path you need to take. Even when you learn DCS, which DCS expertise that is most needed is a tough question. However, the first job anyone interested in makes a lot of difference in this choice. If a student wants to become an automation engineer, he/she can start with PLC or DCS, but soon they will have to know both. With the technological developments in the computer technology over the last three decades, the true difference between DCS and PLC has come down drastically, however, major DCS vendors still selling their products to large chemicals industries due to their extensive features.
What is the difference between Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) training and Distributed Control System (DCS) training? 30 years back DCS was mainly used for operating Large Chemical Plants and Refineries and PLCs were historically used for controlling small units such as a compressor or a turbine.
