I would like to ask everyone how to learn DCS?
Thread Content
Previously, I only handled maintenance of on-site instruments; I have no experience with system maintenance. Let me stay in the cabinet room; I have no idea how to learn and am completely lost. I ask those with more experience for guidance. Through self-study, I have a general understanding of the theoretical knowledge related to DCS systems, and I know the overall structure of such a system: CPU – cards – safety barriers – terminal blocks – intermediate junction boxes – field instruments. It also recognizes power supply modules, CPUs, card slots, and safety barriers; it knows that both the power supplies and controllers are redundant, and it understands that UPS and mains voltage converters supply power to the aforementioned components. In short, I know some of the most basic hardware components; of course, there are many others that I don’t recognize. My supervisor told me to go to the server rooms more often when I have time, and not to stay at the work site all the time. But I really don’t know how to learn this, as I have no experience at all.
See which system is being used. Take it slow. Contact the manufacturer’s staff if you have any questions
Which company does your DCS belong to? Someone should have gone for training earlier, and training materials should be obtained from them.
Check online for the instruction manuals or guides specific to that system version, or watch video tutorials; once you set up a computer and try it out step by step, you’ll understand it!
I also switched from working on-site to DCS in the past two months. You can install virtual machines on your computer to run your company’s system, and study the instructions carefully to learn how to operate it.
Actually, we are still in the very early stages; no DCS manufacturers have come to provide training yet. In the future, Honeywell will be used; for now, there is only the opportunity to work with Emerson’s systems.

It’s really fortunate to have access to Honeywell PKS and Emerson DeltaV, which are the most widely used DCS systems abroad. If you’re driving, try to avoid going to the cabinet room as much as possible; otherwise, you might end up being held responsible for any problems that arise
