(DCS310.6) Process Troubleshooting SPPA-T3000

Detailed understanding of troubleshooting power plant failures utilizing the SPPA-T3000™ control system.

Description

The Process Troubleshooting - SPPA-T3000™ course is intended to give the I&C Technician a detailed understanding of troubleshooting power plant failures utilizing the SPPA-T3000™ control system. The I&C Technician will become familiar various troubleshooting tools and techniques that will increase problem solving skills.

 

The Process Troubleshooting - SPPA-T3000™ course covers an in-depth hardware, instrumentation, and control system implementation discussion. The I&C Technician will understand full signal flow path from the instrument to the plant displays and all potential failure points. A full review of reading control logic to reading Electrical/I&C drawings will be covered.

 

Daily troubleshooting exercises will be accomplished. These exercises will include failed hardware, failed wiring, failed instrumentation, improper transmitter setup, and incorrect control logic. By the end of the week the I&C Technician will be comfortable troubleshooting all common failures that can be expected in a power plant situation.

 

A unique feature of this course is flexibility. The instructor evaluates each I&C Technician to determine their level of experience and knowledge and then tailors the course to challenge each technician, ensuring all their plant related questions have been answered.

 

This course is ideal for I&C Technicians and Control Room Operators who need to master troubleshooting a live process.
