DMS Programming, Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Optimization

 

Introduction:

This comprehensive course is aimed at assisting the engineer and technician working with the DMS, Drill Monitor System, in applying an integrated approach to maintaining, troubleshooting and programming the OPLC units. The OPLC (Operator Interface Programmable Logic Controller) operates in the same way as a normal PLC but has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) incorporated in to the front panel. The V120 OPLC incorporates 10 digital inputs 2 analogue inputs and 6 relay outputs. By means of the use of an extender module, further inputs can be input to the OPLC. This is done through an IO-ATC8 which allows the connection of eight 4-20 mA input channels. The OPLC is programmed using a Windows based ladder logic. This ladder logic programs the manner in which the OPLC scans the inputs, processes the data collected from the inputs, then produces outputs by either switching on relays, or displaying text or graphics on the LCD display.

Course Objectives:

 

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Be able to describe the hardware and software architecture of the DMS:
  • Describe the hardware (Unitronics Vision 120, wiring and sensors) and software (ladderlogic programming)
  • Be able to apply know-how on programming the DMS
  • Have learnt how to efficiently troubleshoot and maintain a typical DMS
  • Have the skills to write simple DMS ladderlogic programs
  • Be able to competently install wiring of inputs/outputs from the DMS to sensors

Who Should Attend?

Instrumentation and control engineers, instrumentation technicians, process control engineers, process control operators, shift electricians, consulting engineers, design engineers, DCS personnel, electrical engineers, engineering managers, personnel working with or near PLC’s
