(OIT101.4) Logic Reading Overview: Introduction to Function Diagrams

The Logic Reading Overview: Introduction to Function Diagrams training course provides an introduction to reading and understanding Automation Functions (AF), the building  blocks of the Function Diagrams (plant logic). Through Instructor led discussions and demonstrations, the course introduces the student to many of the AFs used in Siemens Energy Control Functions of various power plant systems.  The instructor demonstrates how changing inputs affects the AF outputs.

Upon completion of this training, personnel should be prepared to interpret plant logic diagrams for plant operations, and to attend the Automation Function Operations and Troubleshooting course.
