Brief Description

This workshop and accompanying manual is intended for engineers and technicians who need to have a practical knowledge for selecting and implementing industrial instrumentation and control systems. It can be argued that a clear understanding and application of the instrumentation and control systems is the most important factor in an efficient and successful control system.

The objectives of the workshop and manual are for you to be able to:

Specify and design instrumentation and control systems.

Correctly select and size control systems for industrial use.

Understand the problems with installing measurement equipment.

Troubleshoot instrumentation systems and control systems.

Isolate and rectify instrumentation faults.
