What knowledge do DCS operators need to master?

I gave back everything I learned in college to my teachers; now I want to learn some new things as I’m preparing to change jobs
The term used to refer to DCS operators varies from one company to another; some call them “internal operators” while others call them “main operators”. They are the primary operators responsible for the manufacturing process. To be a competent DCS operator, one must first have a thorough understanding of the process flow and the principles behind production. One should also be familiar with the equipment involved in the upstream and downstream stages of the process, as well as the relationships between these elements. Additionally, it is necessary to be proficient in the principles and methods of instrument control within the process flow. It is best to have some experience in field operations, to be well aware of the location of various equipment, and to be able to give prompt instructions to the field operators in case of an emergency, so that they can shut off or turn on the manual valves on site or activate backup equipment, thereby preventing accidents.
The response on the second floor was very thorough; one should learn from experienced professionals, combine experience with knowledge, undergo more shutdowns and startup procedures as well as accident handling tasks, in order to develop good psychological resilience and professional qualities. As long as one works hard, it should not be a problem to become a competent operator in two or three years; but to reach an even higher level, a long period of continuous effort is required!
In addition, it is also necessary to master the operation methods of the DCS system
Thank you to the friend on floor 2; I don’t have any money at the moment, so I can’t give you a rating. Sorry, thanks to the other friends
One must be humble and learn from experienced craftsmen, as many fault symptoms and solutions are not covered in books!
In my opinion, it can be divided into two points. First, one must learn the principles and specific operations of DCS thoroughly, be able to use it and control it, and master its operation. Second, it is crucial to have a good understanding of the actual process flows in the specific environment where DCS is used, as well as the various specialties involved; only then can one accurately assess the course of an accident based on the actual situation and take effective measures
