Course 7036      CEUs: 2.1

This 3-day course is designed to teach technicians and engineers the basics of fieldbus digital valve controller installation, configuration, calibration, and troubleshooting using 375/475 Handheld, ValveLink software and DeltaV and AMS Intelligent Device Manager.

Overview

The course begins with a review of the role and function of control valve positioners and proceeds through a series of hands-on exercises that require the student to disassemble, inspect, assemble, install, and commission a FOUNDATION FIELDBUS digital valve controller. During commissioning, students will learn the basics of the fieldbus protocol, the role of function blocks, addressing, modes and status. Students will configure, calibrate, and commission devices using both 375/475 Handheld, ValveLink software and DeltaV. Hands-on exercises also teach students how to perform detailed setup routines and how to run and collect data for various ValveLink diagnostics. The class ends with a troubleshooting session that presents common problems and their solutions.

Prerequisites
