Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
In today’s modern industrial plant, continuous machine monitoring is an essential requirement in terms of protecting personnel, protecting the environment and protecting the plant equipment itself.
Machine monitoring encompasses a wide range of technologies: ranging from supervisory control interlocking and sequential control implemented through the programmable logic controller; closed loop digital control; and modern Smart instrumentation. Machine monitoring not only encompasses the conventional measurement of pressure and temperature but also less well known measurements including vibration, thermography, tribology, and analytical xerography.
This workshop, PRACTICAL Instrumentation and Control Systems for Industrial Machinery, is designed to provide engineers and technicians with the basic theoretical and practical understanding of a wide range of modern technologies and how these can be applied to optimize their systems in terms of safety, flexibility and costs.
