Control Valves and Actuators – The Final Control Element Course
Course Overview:
This course equips students with knowledge about analog and digital devices with a strong emphasis on their differences, purposes, and uses in industrial systems.
Practical abilities such as obtaining signals through sampling, gaining insight into basic principles of serial communications, and utilizing HART™ for smart device configuration and field device testing will be acquired through this scheme.
This course includes intelligent control valves, digital positioners, multivariable transmitters, and fieldbus systems, including their interconnections and operation as parts of a closed-loop control of a process.
This is a skill enhancement learning program for engineers, technicians and supervisory personnel with regard to configuring, calibrating as well as optimizing modern day digital devices in the industrial regime that spans over 5 days and integrates the theory with robust practical exercises.
