I have just started working on the engineering design of control systems, and without a mentor to guide me, I would like some help

Find a design manual on self-control and take a look at it

What kind? I have everything needed to standardize things

I’m not in this field, so I can’t remember the name of the manual; I’m sorry

As a designer, you’re probably not the property owner. The friend upstairs mentioned the regulations, but these are just one of the skills that a designer needs to master; there are other aspects as well that require attention. 1. As the \"nervous center\" of the entire system, the effectiveness of the automatic control design depends not only on the design itself but also on the designs related to the on-site processes, instruments, and electrical systems; these elements influence each other. So you need to know something about the relevant fields. 2. The design progress of related specialties will affect your own progress. While maintaining the overall design schedule and image of the design institute, you need to learn to coordinate with other designers and resolve issues internally. 3. Owners are concerned about achieving efficiency and saving money; cost control is important to pay attention to. 4. The drawings, procedures, etc., provided to the owner should include complete annotations to facilitate their understanding and maintenance. 5. The employer is one’s provider; learn to communicate.

Download a manual for instrument engineering construction from the Internet; it’s useful for instrument technicians to understand drawings – take a look at the basic aspects.

Students majoring in electrical engineering are probably in a better position; at least they have some basic concepts of control, which gives them an advantage when dealing with digital signals. If a DCS system is chosen, some basic knowledge in instrumentation is required for handling analog signals. And then, there’s also a need for some basic knowledge of control systems, as well as some fundamentals in process engineering (which is essential in the petrochemical industry). There’s also a need for basic knowledge in communications and computing – it’s quite complicated, as I said. :lol:lol:lol

If you are into design, I recommend that you check out a few books. \"Manual for Automatic Control Design in Petrochemical Industry\" (although it’s an older version, it’s still quite good), \"Regulations for Automatic Control Design in Chemical/Petrochemical Industries\", \"Design Regulations for Automatic Control Systems in Chemical Plants\", \"Atlas of Automatic Control Installation Drawings\". These are the basics; if you read them first, you will generally have an understanding. Then, learn the basic knowledge of other related fields. Processes and systems are closely related; it is necessary to understand the basic workflow and key control points of each project. Then pipelines, equipment, pumps, electrical systems, and construction. These professional drawings need to be understandable. With all these in place, there should be no major issues dealing with ordinary designs. As for making fewer mistakes, first of all, one must carefully check and proofread their own professional drawings to ensure no errors occur. As for the logic diagrams and control charts related to automatic control, it’s essential not to make any mistakes in these aspects. It’s also important to communicate more with the process system to determine whether its functions and safety features meet the process requirements. When communicating with them, pay special attention to whether the control system can operate safely and effectively under abnormal conditions. Regarding instruments, one should at least be familiar with the common types of instruments, including their appearance and structure, scope of application, connection methods, and so on. Wish you success in becoming a qualified control engineer soon.

My experience is quite similar to the original poster’s. 1. Basically, at the beginning you won’t be assigned any particularly difficult tasks; it will mainly be tasks such as installation diagrams, construction plans, and cable lists, which require only careful attention to complete. Never assume anything; always consult the specifications, catalogs, and manuals first when working on a project. It is essential to clarify the upstream and downstream relationships within the design system at this stage. 2. Next, you will come across the logic diagram; before starting work, be sure to begin with the reference project and study it thoroughly, even if it is a copy. 3. Only lastly will one come across various text-based designs, such as control requirements, etc. By this time, you’ll be able to do it almost without any further teaching.
