What professional skills are required for the field of chemical process instrumentation and automation?

Flattery, eloquence, the ability to adapt to circumstances, and so on.

At a glance, it’s at least a seasoned professional who has reached management levels

:Lol, you guys are so professional

Search for and download it from the attachments on this site; it contains a great deal of knowledge

It depends on what you plan to do: operations, design, system integration, programming?

There are many main posts, making it difficult to find them in a short time

I work in instrumentation and control (my tasks are limited to creating configuration files, IO point lists, and wiring diagrams; I’m not involved in configuration or programming/debugging). Since control is related to the process flow, I’d like to understand the requirements that the process flow imposes on control systems. Please give me some guidance; help me out

It is recommended that you first consult: Regulations for Chemical Process Automation Design (HG/T20505~20517, 20573, 20699, 20700; Automation Installation Manuals 21581)； If you are working on drawing design (the kind produced by design institutes), refer to the design specifications for chemical process control devices, sections 20636–20639 ； There are various formats and levels of design complexity for charts and graphs. For the process-related aspects, I recommend checking the Chemical Process Design Manual, which contains the control requirements for various process units. That’s about it

Thank you. I will check it whenever there is a need for it in my daily work. The chemical process design manual is probably what I need more:lol

Automation is indeed closely related to the process. To understand the requirements of a process for automatic control, it is recommended to study knowledge in areas such as principles of chemical engineering, petroleum refining engineering, and unit operations. One should also read carefully the conditions specified in the relevant standards regarding automatic control requirements for the process, such as tables outlining the requirements for temperature and composition control, tables for level control, tables for pressure control, tables for flow rate control, tables related to control valves, and tables for interlock requirements. If the focus is on construction and installation, attention should be paid to the installation condition tables for various testing instruments. In short, it is necessary to master the knowledge of interfaces and connections related to disciplines in the field of self-control.
