ment. You may use this course as an independent
overview of process control or as part of a continuing
program in process control education. (Course code 8211)
Duration: 5 Days
Who should attend
People with loop tuning or servicing responsibilities. The
course has been prepared with the “non-specialist” engi-
neer or technician in mind, although the specializing
instrumentation or controls engineer will find much mate-
rial of practical value. This course is also recommended
for supervisors, managers and other individuals whose
responsibilities are indirectly related to process control.

Process Measurement Technology (8212)
This instructor-led course will help increase plant availabil-
ity and utilization while reducing plant corrective and pre-
ventive maintenance costs. You will gain a sound
foundation in the engineering principles and theories
behind the selection and use of common plant sensing
devices: flow, pressure, temperature, level, and electro-
chemical. This course will require you to put to use what
you have learned in sizing flow devices and orifices. The
course material is not tied to any specific vendor equip-
ment. (Course code 8212)
Duration: 5 Days
Special feature
The reference book Instrumentation for Process
Measurement and Control by Norman Anderson is used
as course text and will be provided as part of the student
course material.

Experienced plant personnel with general instrumentation
responsibilities, that include instrument selection, design,
installation, or maintenance.
Prerequisite
• Ability to work with simple algebraic equations.
Objectives
• Define uniform terminology in the field of process
instrumentation.
• Understand the basic theory, principles, and use of
common plant process measurement instruments: Flow,
Pressure, Level, Density, Temperature, and
Electrochemical.
• Identify the key mechanism required to build a field
transmitter and realistic instrument operating conditions.
• Identify qualitative and quantitative data that will help
determine how to best select and effectively apply
instruments for monitoring and controlling measure-
ment variables: Pressure, Liquid Level, Density, Flow

• Calculate flow rates and orifice sizing.
Control Systems Engineering (8235)
This instructor-led advanced engineering course will help
increase plant utilization and performance by generating a
sound foundation of process control theories explaining
why processes behave the way they do; therefore, enabling
you to apply more efficient methods of control. Most
process control courses try to explain process control con-
cepts in either a qualitative manner or a pure quantitative
manner. Neither is satisfactory. The first simplifies the sub-
ject too much to make it useful for understanding how
Instructor-led Courses
processes behave and why particular control strategies are
successful. The latter involves too much math, making the
subject too abstract for any real-world application. The
8235 Control Systems Engineering course combines qualita-
tive and quantitative approaches. It explains the essential
properties of process by the performances we observe on
recorders and screens. In this way, you begin to appreciate
the essence of process control at once with a foundation
upon which you can easily build. The labs and lectures
build on your practical work experience and require a
mathematical background. Homework is required.

Self-Study Programs
Essential Skills for I/A Series Maintenance
Comprehensive training on hardware and software main-
tenance and diagnostic procedures.
The DVD clips, showing experienced technicians working
on I/A Series equipment, provide maintenance techni-
cians with a first hand look at every detail involved in
performing critical maintenance and diagnostic proce-
dures. Hundreds of photographic images are used to
ensure that the training exactly matches what mainte-
nance technicians see in the field. And since all explana-
tions and instructions are presented as audio, technicians
spend more time observing and less time reading from
the computer screen.

Introduction to I/A Series Process Operations
A truly hands-on approach to learning I/A Series system
operations.
This comprehensive program requires the student to:
describe the functions of various parts of a typical opera-
tor’s workstation; access process displays, overlays and
environments; and perform windowing operations, such
as moving, resizing and stacking. In addition, users will
learn to recognize when a process alarm has occurred,
determine its cause, and acknowledge the alarm. You will
use trend displays, in the real-time and historical modes,
to observe variations in process conditions and assign
process variables to trend displays.
The Process Operations package also familiarizes you with
the Operator Action Journal and the Process Summary
Reporter. After successfully completing this program, users
will also be able to recognize the occurrence of a system
alarm and use the printer alarm message to identify the
failed component. Advanced topics, which are intended
for multi-functional personnel, include:
Use the System Management Display Handler to:
• Identify a failed component and acknowledge the
alarm.
• Set the system time and date.
• Access equipment information displays and interpret
the information presented.
• Make equipment changes, such as rebooting a compo-
nent and alarm enabling.
• Use the PLB Monitor display to observe and test ladder
logic operation.
• Interpret and test the programming provided by a
sequence block.
This self-paced course consists of multiple modules to
accommodate the objectives listed. Every module
includes a pre-test to identify topics appropriate for your
unique needs, an interactive lesson, a hands-on lab exer-
cise, and “check yourself” review questions. In addition,
post-tests for each module allow you to continually track
your progress. The simulated lab exercises are performed
on your I/A Series training system.

Process Control Systems – Problem-solving
Software
This interactive self-study training program for the
process engineer contains all of the simulations to pro-
duce the response curves and tabular data in the latest
edition of the classic reference book, Process Control
Systems, by F.G. Shinskey.
Diagrams from the book are graphically simulated on the
computer screen and related directly to the text for effec-
tive training. You are given the opportunity to plug in new
controller tuning values or change process characteristics.
This format allows unlimited exploration of “what if” sce-
narios, without tying up actual process equipment or inter-
fering with process operations. (Part #L0121BC)
Fundamentals of Automatic Control
This set of six 30-minute DVDs provides an excellent, non-
mathematical overview of the basics of feedback control,
PDI control modes, tuning and common combination-
types of control (cascade, ratio, and auto-selector). With
this program, you will learn the significance of the basic
control loop elements – measurement, set point, supply,
and load. You will learn how to use reverse and direct
acting controllers to produce negative feedback and how
to recognize the basic process characteristics (dead time
and capacity). You will learn how to tune controllers to
produce quarter amplitude measurement response and
minimize offset. The program is particularly appropriate
for beginning technicians and engineers working on con-
trol loops. (Part #B0150US)
Principles of Feedforward Control
Applications expert Lew Gordon presents a non-mathe-
matical, but technically detailed, overview of feedforward
control in this series of three 30-minute DVDs. Covering
the topic from initial consideration to implementation, the
DVD reviews basic control problems, principles of feedfor-
ward control, mixing of flows, feedback trim, mass and
energy balance equations, temperature control, calcula-
tion of dynamic compensation, the mathematical model
for feedforward control, scaling, and instrumentation.
(Part #B0150WM)
Hierarchical Control (Evaporator, Distillation, and
Its Benefits)
In 30 minutes, this DVD provides a good non-mathematical
review of the principles of hierarchical control for anyone
already familiar with basic process control. Noted expert
F.G. Shinskey provides his insights on feedback trim, cas-
cade, and feedforward control modes and dynamic com-
pensation on an evaporator unit. (Part #B0150YK)
