Participate in the preparation and review of detailed maintenance and inspection procedures, as well as evaluation criteria for key DCS/SIS and other system equipment. 3. Responsible for the management of inventory records for DCS/SIS and other system equipment, establishing such inventory records, providing data, and modifying or standardizing equipment descriptions. 4. Develop detailed inspection guidelines for systems such as DCS/SIS, and conduct regular on-site inspections at least twice a week to assess the operational status of these systems as well as the quality of any maintenance work carried out on them; inspection records should be filled out promptly. 5. Responsible for drafting the rectification notice and following up on its implementation. 6. Provide technical support for systems such as DCS/SIS, communicate promptly with various factories to keep them informed, and guide teams in resolving equipment failures and complex issues. 7. For planned maintenance and emergency repairs of key system equipment such as DCS/SIS, on-site supervision is required, as well as participation in the acceptance process. 8. Participate in accident analyses of systems and equipment such as DCS/SIS, conduct technical evaluations on controversial issues, identify the causes of accidents, and propose preventive measures. 9. Participate in technical exchanges with collaborating units. (II) Responsible for the review, guidance, supervision, and evaluation of renovation projects for systems such as DCS/SIS. 1. Propose suggestions regarding the renovation of DCS/SIS systems and participate in the review of renovation plans. 2. Participate in technical evaluations, safety production assessments, food safety assessments, energy and environmental protection assessments, and economic benefit assessments for projects related to the renovation of systems such as DCS/SIS; be responsible for handling external design-related matters related to such technical renovations. 3. Participate in tendering for projects related to systems such as DCS/SIS, and be involved in selecting contractors and key equipment suppliers. 4. Provide guidance and supervision for DCS/SIS system renovation projects as well as new DCS/SIS system installations, offer technical support, and propose solutions to complex problems. 5. Participate in the intermediate and final inspections of the project, review relevant technical documents, and take part in the technical evaluation after completion. (III) Responsible for technical training: 1. Participate in formulating training plans for systems such as DCS/SIS. 2. In accordance with the company’s training plan, organize the development of training materials for systems such as DCS/SIS. 3. Assist in implementing the training plan and participate in reviewing the assessment and examination schemes. 4. Responsible for technical support in training for systems such as DCS/SIS, and involved in the assessment of technical training. (IV) Submitting purchase requests and controlling procurement costs: 1. Consolidate and balance the demand plans for system equipment, materials, and spare parts such as DCS/SIS from various factories, and be responsible for submitting purchase requests. 2. Keep in close contact with the supply department to monitor the procurement progress. 3. Participate in the acceptance of the arrival of systems such as DCS/SIS. 4. Keep track of the inventory status of equipment and materials for systems such as DCS/SIS, control quantities, and reduce inventory costs.

I. Safety Procedures 1. Maintenance must be carried out by at least two persons. 2. Inquire with the personnel on duty about the operation status, check the performance of the DCS, PLC, and UPS, and obtain the necessary work permits during maintenance tasks. 3. Ensure that cable connectors, terminals, and adapter plugs are in good contact. 4. When dealing with faults, pay attention to the safety of personnel and equipment, and take anti-static measures. 5. After the maintenance, contact the process department to confirm that the maintenance is complete and satisfactory.

II. Maintenance and Inspection Procedures 1. Regularly remove dust from various devices within the operation station and cabinets (including racks, card trays, fans, wiring terminals, etc.). 2. Listen to the feedback from the process technicians, examine the real-time records, maintenance records, and LED error codes. Based on the symptoms of the fault, the results of self-diagnosis, and the LED indications, analyze and determine the cause of the fault in order to identify the faulty location. 3. Based on the assessment, take appropriate corrective actions; check whether the system equipment’s wiring, cables, conversion plugs, etc. are damaged, and replace the equipment or cards as necessary, or reinstall the software. 4. Application software (databases) should be backed up regularly, and any changes to the configuration must be documented ； Any modifications to the database must be saved on the engineer station, as well as on other backup hard drives or discs. 5. It is strictly prohibited to use non-PLC or DCS software at the engineer station, and it is strictly forbidden for unauthorized personnel to perform configuration.

Job responsibilities: 1. Under the supervision of the workshop supervisor and professional engineers, be responsible for the management of the automation systems in various facilities. 2. Conduct daily inspections thoroughly, address any issues identified promptly, and fill in the relevant records properly. 3. Responsible for preparing the annual major maintenance plans for the automation systems of various devices. 4. Actively cooperate with the process-related modifications proposed, keep records of these changes, and archive them for future reference.

This is our four regulations and one system; please point out any shortcomings so that we can make adjustments in the future

Thank you to the original poster; it’s practical and great information.

A job involving working on a computer comes up with such things.
