Recently, the company has hired a large number of new employees, and it is necessary to provide them with technical training so that they can quickly adapt to various positions related to the installation and maintenance of instruments. I would like to consult with all fellow sailors and experts for any good suggestions and experience; thank you.
Buy the instrument technician question bank; there is theoretical training along with exams, as well as practical tests.
Could you recommend some books or reference materials on control systems, covering the commonly used DCS systems at present, to help beginners learn?
Practice leads to true knowledge; it’s difficult to learn a particular DCS system without any experience. One can attend training provided by a DCS manufacturer, or, if self-studying, start with simpler PLCs – first understand the hardware, as well as the architecture of both hardware and software, before moving on to configuration. Reading books – it’s hard to learn without the actual items
It’s not practical; many of the questions in the instrument technician* question sets deal with theoretical concepts that are not needed in everyday installation and maintenance tasks, such as various theoretical knowledge areas (calculations, electricity, design principles, etc.). It’s better to practice on-site, consult relevant materials, and study the theory of on-site instruments by reading introductory books on instruments, so as to understand the working principles of various instruments.
Petroleum and Chemical Industry Automatic Control Design Manual (3rd Edition): An overview of various standards and specifications, such as the Technical Regulations for the Construction of Petroleum and Chemical Industry Instrumentation Projects. Of course, it’s also necessary to mentor newcomers; practice is essential.
There are many relevant materials available for selection in the forum’s PPT sharing section; you can also search the forum for other materials!
First, process engineering*, safety training; skills can be learned gradually through practice*
1. First, train employees on personal safety and the physical and chemical properties of the media they may come into contact with. 2. Provide an initial understanding of various instruments, as well as their working principles and appropriate applications. 3. Explain the principles behind signal transmission in these instruments and how to troubleshoot faults. 4. Teach fault diagnosis; it’s best to train new employees in maintenance skills as well. . .
There is no quick way; for a mechanic, it takes 5 years to become proficient. It’s just that the experienced workers need to do more work. What is being recruited are instrument maintenance workers; no extensive training is necessary in terms of DCS – it’s sufficient to know the hardware and be able to perform basic inspections. Someone who has worked as an instrument technician for 2 years doesn’t necessarily have to be assigned to the control cabinet area. New employees should learn the basic knowledge of instruments; read this textbook to study it*. The most important thing is watch repair; if there are problems, just keep working on them.
