Description

Enables participants to design, implement and maintain process control systems; understand and control process parameters; and configure control systems with appropriate hardware and software.

Schedule

Apr. 24 – May 29 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM (5 Saturdays)

Fee

P9,000

COURSE OBJECTIVES

After the course, the participants will be able to:

  • Select the type of level and flow measurement, as well as the control valve applicable to a process situation.
  • Perform calculations required in level measurements, orifice sizing, control valve sizing and controller tuning.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS


The course is open to holders of a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Industrial or Chemical Engineering; as well as to instructors of technical schools and industrial technicians. Knowledge of the basics of Instrumentation and Process Control is a prerequisite to the program.


TRAINING METHODOLOGY


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 will supervise individual and group exercises closely.


VENUE


Sessions will be conducted at the Low-Cost Automation (LCA) Rooms of UPISSI.
