Advanced
Instrumentation and Process Control (AIPC) Course
After the course, the
participants will be able to:
/ Select the
applicable level measurement, flow measurement, and control valve applicable to
a process situation.
/ Perform calculations
required in level measurements, orifice sizing, control valve sizing and
controller tuning.
/ Understand
the application, hardware and software requirements and basic configuration
techniques in distributed control systems (DCS).
The course has a total of 30
hours and will cover the following topics.

The
course is open to holders of Bachelor Degree in Mechanical, Electrical,
Electronics, Industrial or Chemical Engineering; as well as to instructors of
technical schools and industrial technicians. Knowledge in Basic
Instrumentation and Process Control Course is a prerequisite to the program.
The
lecture-discussion method will be used and sufficiently supplemented by
laboratory and simulation work, which is the hands-on portion of the program.
The resource persons and a laboratory technician will supervise individual and
group exercises closely.
Sessions
will be conducted at the Low Cost Automation (LCA) Room of UPISSI.
