Kemira Process Control

This course covers the following topics: 

Foundation Fieldbus Process Control

Foundation Fieldbus Process Control 1 covers a popular industrial method for calibrating and troubleshooting valves and transmitters connected to a network. Foundation Fieldbus is an all-digital, multi-drop communication system used for basic and advanced flow control, temperature control, and tank level control utilized primarily in places like oil refineries, chemical plants, and paper mills. This curriculum focuses on topics such as: operation of a Fieldbus DCS, Fieldbus components, Fieldbus power supply, Fieldbus segment cabling, and configuring a Fieldbus device.

HART Process Control 1

This course covers one of the most commonly used communication protocols, HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer), which is a powerful technology that has widespread use because it has backward compatibility that lets smart sensors digitally communicate on existing 4-20 mA control wires without harming analog signals. Major topics include Topics include HART networks, existing system integration, and calibrating HART devices and monitoring current loops.

Process Control Systems

Level and Flow Process Control teaches two of the most common types of process control systems, flow and liquid level. This course covers process control safety, instrument tags, piping and instrumentation diagrams, and level measurement, then moves into system control functions such as liquid level control, automatic control methods, basic flow measurement and control, and control loop performance.

Process Control Systems: Ultrasonic Level Measurement and Control

Ultrasonic waves are sound waves with frequencies above the human ear's audible range. Ultrasonic sensors transmit and reflect ultrasonic waves to measure the distance between the sensor and an object or the height of material in a container. This course covers the construction, operation, and calibration of ultrasonic level sensors.

Process Control Systems: Differential Pressure Flow Measurement and Control

Differential pressure flow measurement is one of the most common methods used to measure flow in a process. Differential pressure flow sensors are versatile and cost less than other types of flow sensors. This course covers three of the most common types of these sensors: orifice plates, Venturi tubes, and pitot tubes. This course also covers differential pressure transmitters.

PLC Process Control

This course focuses on PLC-controlled level and flow applications in open and closed loop systems. Major topics include the operation of a PLC-based closed loop process control system, the function of PID tag structure, and how to tune a Siemens S7-1200 PLC-based closed loop process control system.
