PLC SCADA DCS Training / PLC Training in Chennai / HMI Training / SCADA Training / DCS Training / Field Instrumentation Training
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. 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. 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. However, the first job anyone interested in makes a lot of difference in this choice. Even when you learn DCS, which DCS expertise that is most needed is a tough question. Have a discussion with our career councillor (free of cost) to decide which path you need to take. The following information covers the details of our DCS training for ABB 800xA DCS Training.
In this course, you will learn to architecture and program ABB 800xA DCS using various programming tools. If you have any familiarity with ABB 800xA DCS System already, this training course will help you enhance your knowledge. We will help you structure your training based on what you know and what you want to know. 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.
In this training, you will also learn a part of what an Instrument Engineer must know to be a control engineer. As a control engineer, you will interact with electrical engineers, instrument technicians, and process engineers. This training will train you to interact with them intelligently and professionally.
If you already do not know, this training will include basics of electrical and electronics engineering, electrical safety, wiring fundamentals, control science, and instrumentation.
The following are the example modules covered in this training.
Excel Automation Solutions Distributed Control System (DCS) training program includes following training modes:
We train our students on “downloading” to the real DCS from the first class so that they can get a practical feel of their understanding throughout the course.
Employees of industries who attends the DCS training at Excel Automation Solutions benefit in the following ways.
For individuals, we aim this training to be a life-changing step.
Distributed Control System (DCS) training course would be suitable for:
