Commissioning & Troubleshooting of Control Systems

Introduction:

You need a methodical approach to start-up of single and multi-loop control systems.  You also need an understanding of how pressure, level, flow, and temperature loops operate to maintain good process control systems, along with a familiarity with the loop check-out procedures.  This course focuses on the commissioning and start-up of control systems identifies the control systems problems that you may face, discusses commissioning as well as troubleshooting and suggests effective solutions to problems faced during operations.

This course focuses on the commissioning and start-up of control systems identifies the control systems problems that you may face, discusses commissioning as well as troubleshooting and suggests effective solutions to problems faced. The safe and efficient operation of modern electrical equipment and control systems requires the successful testing, start-up and commissioning of this equipment, or system, to ensure correct operation, accurate troubleshooting, subsequent repair of this equipment, or system and ensuring continued productivity. The candidates will be more able to:

  • Use test equipment for electrical commissioning and servicing
  • Better understand the design, functionality and failure modes of electrical equipment and control systems
  • Utilize single-line diagrams and schematics for troubleshooting
  • Understand standard work practices plus be able to develop job plans, which assist in successful commissioning and troubleshooting
  • Show a refreshed knowledge of electrical safety

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will gain:

· Procedures and to solutions to problems encountered during commissioning, start-up, and operation of control systems

· A better understanding of commissioning procedures

· A better understanding of troubleshooting procedures

· An improved capability in the use of test equipment

· A better understanding of failure modes and failure analysis

· A refreshed awareness of electrical safety concerns
