What are the training programs for the automation control major?
Thread Content
My company has a training plan for this year. I have only been in this industry for a little over half a year, so I’m not familiar with the relevant training programs. Now I’m supposed to write down what I would like to train on, but I don’t know what topics are available. I would appreciate some suggestions from my colleagues. Urgent! Thank you
It depends on what aspects you need! There are systematic training programs, PLC training, as well as training in design participation and calibration of standard instruments, among other types of training. It depends on which aspects you prioritize!
If you work in a design firm, mastering standards and regulations is of primary importance; in addition, there are various specialized trainings such as those related to control systems, explosion-proof technology, lightning protection and grounding technology, and so on； Also, training in design software is quite important; currently, INTOOLS is very popular in the instrumentation industry, so it might be worth considering learning it.
Thank you. It seems I need to attend the standard training first. I’m also very interested in INTOOLS, but my company hasn’t purchased this system yet; I guess it will be done in the future. I’ll definitely take the course if I get the chance.
It is recommended to see it in person; many things remain unclear even after talking about them for a long time, but once you see the actual item, everything becomes clear!
The most important thing is to train personnel in the installation and maintenance of control instruments, as well as in repair work; the wiring of these instruments is also crucial
There is professional foundational training, as well as specialized DCS ESD training
DCS should be trained for; it’s being used a lot these days, hehe
It depends on what you actually do. I work in maintenance, and here are my thoughts: First, understand the performance of control systems and attend training provided by relevant manufacturers; for example, Siemens offers various courses that one can take. II. Attend training on on-site instruments. A failure in the control system does not necessarily mean there is a problem with the system itself. III. Participate in relevant basic process training. Poor maintenance is caused by a lack of understanding of the process. IV. It is necessary to have an appropriate understanding of the relevant design specifications; sometimes the designs prepared by design institutes may not be reasonable, and any improvements needed must still comply with these specifications.
Thank you all for your answers, but is there any specific name for the training or something similar? I need to fill out a plan, and I don’t know how to write it without knowing the name of the training program. For example: instrument lightning protection grounding, standard template for instrument design, etc
