 Distributed Control System (DCS) Training Course

Course Overview

Why do we need Distributed Control System (DCS) Training? Distributed Control System
(DCS) Training Course is designed to make you familiar with DCS’s systems and
understand their basic operation.

Through this course, you will be able to program DCS using basic instructions
programming and understand the architecture of DCS. If you have worked in an industry,
you are probably familiar with DCS systems and understand their basic operation.
However, an increasing need today is to also understand how to troubleshoot the typical
problems that occur from time to time with your DCS.

How do you learn Distributed Control System (DCS)? You will learn how to program DCS
quickly and diagnose problems using your DCS software; know how to connect to the
right DCS Controller online, make minor changes to get the machine running and have
the expertise to test new ideas and hardware components.

This Zoe training course will empower you with the awareness of the major types of
measuring and control instruments and equipment that are used and the principles behind
the selection, construction and operation of process measurement and control equipment.
