Course 1430      CEUs: 2.1

This course is for engineers, technicians or other persons who have responsibility for using the EnTech Toolkit as part of their role in process troubleshooting, minimizing variability, and improving or maintaining performance of operations.

Overview

 This is a 3-day course that fully explores the various functions, options and capabilities that are built into the EnTech Toolkit software. The course starts with the data acquisition features of the Collect module as it is connected to field instrumentation or directly to digital systems. The power of the Analyse time series analysis software for process trouble-shooting, auditing and reporting on performance is examined using process simulators. The Tuner module includes bump test analysis, calculation of controller tuning parameters, and simulation of controller response characteristics. Participants are asked to perform process audits and report on their findings and the improvements they make.

Prerequisites

Participants should have taken Modern Loop Tuning (9032) or Process Control for Engineers I (9030), or possess similar process control knowledge, or they should have already been exposed to the EnTech Toolkit software.
