I’m seeking advice on how to get started with DCS
Thread Content
I’m an ordinary instrument technician, but I want to learn about *DCS. Is there any way for me to get started? Please give me some advice. I know absolutely nothing about DCS at the moment. Are there any suitable, easy-to-understand books for beginners on DCS? Thank you! ! !
DCS.. Do you mean configuration? Is it hardware instead? If you want to learn about hardware, look for some books; basically, those that cover DCS also explain hardware, network structures, and how they are organized into different layers. . If you want to learn software configuration, it’s best to obtain someone else’s logic diagrams and pre-written programs; first understand those programs, and then try to write them yourself. . It’s not easy to learn DCS on your own; relevant materials are hard to find, especially when it comes to configuration, which is very difficult to access. . Find a way to get free access to someone else’s training classes. .
I used to study communications; I worked in instrument control for a year, participating in the debugging of DSC systems. It wasn’t a long period of time, but I still gained some insights from it. I don’t think much knowledge of automatic control principles is needed to learn *DCS these days. First of all, one needs to understand the electrical control schematics. In fact, many of the digital signals in DCS are related to relays and contactors, especially when the signals reach the MCC room at the first level ； Secondly, one needs to understand the basic logical relationships in digital circuits, as most module configurations and connections are based on such logical relationships ； Again, DCS also requires a basic level of English proficiency, and it is preferable to have some knowledge of networking. These are the most basic requirements; at the beginning, refer to the instructions and gradually configure things on your computer by yourself to get familiar with the process. Gradually, take a look at programs written by others; it would be even better if there are training opportunities. I’m also learning *; keep it up!
The systems used in our company are a bit different; Hima, Ganga, and the like are all more or less similar. The introduction to DCS requires a high level of English proficiency, as all the materials are in English. Configuration isn’t actually that difficult; it’s just a combination of hard points and soft points. But as more people use DCS, there are also more failures
It’s better than anything else when it comes to a project ^_^
Thank you all. It seems there’s still a long way to go
