Introduction

Field Instruments & SMART Transmitters

What are the Goals?

  • Understand everything pertaining to instrumentation signals (traditional and otherwise)
  • Learn how network communication comes together (especially with the SMART option)
  • Develop a plant philosophy, considering PLCs, SCADA and DCS
  • Analyzing SMART in the context of ESD, SIS and Hazardous areas
  • Appling sound practice in data analysis, noise, aliasing and data acquisition (and, how this affects or is affected by SMART options).

At the end of this Field Instruments & SMART Transmitters training course, you will learn to:

  • Comfortably be able to select level, temperature pressure and flow devices
  • Consider an analytical instrument option (along with SMART capabilities)
  • Choose between and understand FIELDBUS options
  • Consider HART as a viable option, based on the benefits it provides
  • See the benefit of SMART final control elements (including valves and actuators)

Who is this Training Course for?

This GLOBAL FRANCHISE training course will be aimed primarily at people in fields associated with field devices, instrumentation data analysis and instrumentation installation and maintenance. This would be inclusive of instrumentation, electrical, mechanical, process and other disciplines actively involved in either the utilization or the selection and installation of an assortment of field transmitters.

This Field Instruments & SMART Transmitters training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Maintenance personnel (specifically, from those fields closely associated with the equipment)
  • Supervisory personnel
  • Instrumentation technicians and engineers
  • Process engineers
  • Mechanical engineers
  • Design staff
  • Representatives from the health and safety departments
  • Engineers in other disciplines
  • People from a financial background, who have an interest in cost containment, by using the most effective devices available
  • Management and senior management staff
