For a skills competition in instrumentation, what topic would be good?
Thread Content
Control method? On-site instruments? Or catalytic specialty valves? Does anyone have experience in this area to share?
Come up with some theoretical questions, and prepare some laptops. Prepare a set of DCS systems – that is, set up a DCS chassis. For the practical part related to DCS, test simple loop control scenarios: for example, if pressure or temperature reaches a high level, an interlock should stop the pump and simultaneously shut down a specific loop; automatic control should then switch to manual mode, with the valve opening set to zero. Before using it again, it must be manually reset. Just a small suggestion – don’t laugh at me
Oh, I forgot to mention it: for the theoretical part, an outline can be provided so that everyone can prepare in advance; one week is given for this. Theory accounts for 40% of the total score. The practical part is done on a laptop, and once completed, the results are imported into the DCS using a USB drive. Several points need to be addressed, including input/output functions, as well as specifying which card numbers these functions should be assigned to. A time limit is also set for each task, for example one hour; when the time is up, everyone stops working, and then the next group takes over. The configuration created by the previous group is exported to the DCS for review. In this way, a day’s work can be completed – theory in the morning and practice in the afternoon – and all of this can be done in a small meeting room
