Instrumentation & Controls - Siemens

TXP Process Control System
Prerequisites
Electrical engineer, electronics technician, or competent
individual with an electronics background. Prior experience
with DCS control systems is desirable.
Description
This course will cover the theory and operation of PCS7
hardware components and how they interact. Students
will learn a practical approach to diagnosing and isolating
faults to the card level using the various PCS7 tools,
and will be required to troubleshoot actual hardware
and software problems. Instruction on standard PCS7
hardware platforms will include hands-on labs covering
configuring, cleaning, and testing.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student
has been trained to:
• Explain the operation of the PCS7 bus system
• Isolate card failures and configure a replacement card
• Make all necessary settings to standard communications
cards
• Perform required preventive maintenance
• Distinguish between hardware and software problems
• Troubleshoot a PCS7 system using a logical approach
