Emerson DeltaV DCS Batch Training

COURSE OVERVIEW

What is the difference between Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) training and Distributed Control System (DCS) training?
Thirty years ago, DCS systems were primarily used for controlling large chemical plants and refineries, while PLCs were typically used for smaller, more discrete control tasks such as operating compressors or turbines. However, due to advancements in computer technology over the past three decades, the distinction between DCS and PLC systems has diminished significantly. Despite this, major DCS vendors continue to sell their systems to large chemical industries because of their extensive capabilities and features.

For students pursuing a career as an automation engineer, it is possible to begin with either PLC or DCS training, but soon they will need to understand both. The choice between PLC and DCS often depends on the student's first job or career direction, as these systems may be used in different environments. Even if you learn DCS, identifying which specific DCS expertise is most in-demand can be challenging. We recommend speaking with our career counselor (free of charge) to determine which path is right for you. Below, we provide detailed information about our Emerson DeltaV Batch Training.

Course Overview: In this course, you will learn to design and program the Emerson DeltaV Batch system using various programming tools. Whether you have prior experience with DeltaV or not, this course will help you deepen and expand your knowledge. We will tailor the training to fit your current understanding and desired learning outcomes.

By the end of this training, you will be able to:

• Specify the system requirements for a new pharmaceutical plant or manufacturing facility.

• Design the network architecture for the plant's control system.

• Install and configure programs on a new DeltaV system.

• Program control logic based on the functional narrative of the process.

• Perform functional tests on the system to ensure it meets the design specifications.

• Design and implement Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).

• Verify communication with peripheral systems using advanced communication protocols like Modbus and OPC.

• Commission the DCS in a test environment.

• Successfully hand over the final system to the operations team for production use.
