Dear Colleague
Welcome to our latest technical training directory. I am proud to present the latest collection of engineering and technology courses that we present throughout the world.
We have been providing practical training for over 20 years throughout the USA, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. Although we are one of the largest providers of this sort of training and have trained a remarkable 500,000 engineers and technicians in the past few years alone, we are not content with resting on our laurels and continue to achieve an amazing 99.8 % satisfaction rating in which delegates indicated the course was "good", "very good" or "excellent". We want the course that you attend to be an outstanding, motivating experience where you walk away and say - "that was truly a great course with a brilliant instructor and we will derive enormous benefit from it".
Our courses are not academic but are rather designed to immediately provide you with the practical skills which will contribute to your productivity and your company's success. Our courses are vendor independent, free of bias and targeted solely at improving your productivity.
We have a remarkable group of instructors whom we believe are among the best in the industry. Of greatest benefit is that they have real and relevant practical experience in both industry and training.
Our policy is to continually re-examine and develop new training programs, update and improve them. Our aim is to anticipate the shifting and often complex technological changes facing everyone in engineering and business and to provide courses of the absolutely highest standards - helping you to improve your productivity.
We put tremendous efforts into our documentation with award winning manuals which are well researched, practical and down to earth in support of the course; so much so that many delegates have remarked that the manual itself justifies the course fees.
I would urge you to consider our courses and call us if you have any queries about them. We would be glad to explain in more detail what the courses entail and can even arrange for our instructors to give you a call to talk through the course contents with you and how it will benefit yourselves.
Finally, thank you for being such tremendously supportive clients. We are blessed with having such brilliant people attending our courses who are enthusiastic about improving themselves and benefiting their companies with new insights and methods of improving their productivity. Your continual feedback is invaluable in making our courses even more appropriate for today's fast moving technology challenges.
We want to be your career partner for life - to ensure that your work is both satisfying and productive and we will do whatever it takes to achieve this.
Yours sincerely
(C P Eng, BSEE, B.Sc(Hons), MBA) Technical Director
P.S. Don't forget our no-risk guarantee - we give you a 100% guarantee of satisfaction or your money back.

The objective of training today is to gain knowledge and experience in the latest developments in technology through cost effective methods. The investment in training, by companies and individuals is growing each year as the need is recognised to keep topical and up to date in the industry in which they are operating.
In addition to the quality workshops which IDC Technologies present on a world-wide basis, all IDC courses are also available for on-site (inhouse) presentation at our client's premises.
ON-SITE TRAINING
On-site training is a cost-effective method of training for companies with several employees to train in a particular area. Organisations can save valuable training dollars by holding courses on-site, where costs are significantly less. Other benefits are IDC's ability to focus on particular systems and equipment so that attendees obtain the greatest benefit from the training.
All on-site workshops are tailored to meet with our client's training requirements and courses can be presented at beginners, intermediate or advanced levels based on the knowledge and experience of the delegates in attendance. Specific areas of interest to the client can also be covered in more detail.
CUSTOmISED TRAINING
In addition to standard on-site training, IDC Technologies specialises in developing customised courses to meet our client's training needs. IDC has the engineering and training expertise and resources to work closely with clients in preparing and presenting specialised courses.
You may select components of current IDC workshops to be combined with additional topics or we can design a course entirely to your specifications. The benefits to companies in adopting this option is reflected in the increased efficiency of their operations and equipment.

The Program
The Fieldbus and DeviceNet standards arebecoming a standard at the field andinstrumentation level, and are replacing thetraditional approaches in the plant today.Ethernetisfastbecomingtheobviouschoiceforindustrialcontrolnetworkingatthehigherlevels.
WhilethebasicstructureofEthernethasnotchanged much, the faster technologies suchas Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet haveincreased the complexity and choices youhave available in planning and designingthese systems. There has also been aconvergencebetweenFieldbusandDeviceNetstandards in that they are also increasinglybecomingbasedonindustrialEthernetforthehigherspeeddatatransferapplications.
There is a fair degree of confusion aboutwhereFieldbus,DeviceNetandEthernet,areappliedandtheworkshopcommenceswithaclear comparison between the differentstandardsandwheretheyareapplied.
As Ethernet has become more complex, anumberofmisconceptionshavearisenastohow Ethernet functions, how the systemshould be optimally configured and whatexactly “Industrial Ethernet” means.

Communications problemsrange from simple wiring problems tointermittent transferofprotocolmessages.Whilst the main issues with the Modbusprotocolwillbecoveredinthisworkshop,aclear understanding of the protocols andstandards that transport Modbus protocoldataunitsarerequiredinordertoeffectivelywork with Modbus. This includes suchstandards as RS-485/RS-232 and Ethernet(preferably industrial Ethernet) andTCP/IP.Modbus, effectively one of the few(arguably, the only) industrial messagingprotocols recognisedby the Internetworld(port 502) has one of the largest installedbasesworldwidewithmorethan7.2millioninstalled nodes.The ModbusTCP/IP profilehas recently been accepted by theInternational Electro-technical Commission(IEC) as a Publicly Available Specification(IEC PAS 62030) and is now eligible tobecome part of future editions of theInternational Standards IEC 61158 and IEC61784-2.Soitenjoysthestatusofawidelyavailable open standard available toeveryone. And thus the popularity. Whilstdetractors will say the Modbus protocollackssomeoftherefinementsofthenewerofferings on the market, there is no doubtthatitisoneofthemostpopularstandardsavailableintheindustrialworldtoday.

Ethernetisfastbecomingtheobviouschoicefor automation networks worldwide. It is arugged, versatile technology, equally athome in a chemical plant, on an ocean-goingvesseland in thecockpitofa fighteraircraft. While the packet structure ofEthernethasnotchangedsinceitsinception,technologies such as fast and gigabitEthernet, industrial Ethernet, VLANs,redundantringsandreal-time(deterministic)Ethernetformotorcontrolapplicationshaveincreased the complexity and choicesavailable in planning and designing thesesystems. As Ethernet has become morecomplex,anumberofmisconceptionshavearisenastohowEthernetfunctionsandhowthesystemshouldbeoptimallyconfigured.This workshop addresses these issues in aclearandpracticalmanner.
Ethernet can be easily augmented withwireless technologies, and the workshoptakesabrieflookatthecurrentandemergingindustrial wireless technologies such asIEEE802.11, wireless mesh and wirelesssensor networks; how they function, andwhere they fit into the overall picture.Ethernet is almost synonymous with theTCP/IPprotocolsuite.Becauseofitsruggeddesign and the fact that it is Internet-compatible, all major automation systemvendorsareadoptingTCP/IP(and,ofcourse,Ethernet).Thiscomplextopicwillbecoveredin an easily-understandable and coherentmanner.
OPChasmadevastinroadsintotheprocessautomationarenaandhasbeenadoptedbyeverysingleSCADAsystemvendor.Wewilllook at current standards, in particular theDAstandard,andalsoatnewdevelopmentssuch as the ‘Unified Architecture’. We willalso highlight some tricky implementationissuesandwaystoavoidthepitfalls.
WithregardtotheautomationarenathereisastrongmovetowirelessandEthernet/TCP/IP.WewilllookattheofferingsoftheHARTcommunication foundation, the openDeviceNet Vendor Association, ThePROFIBUS/PROFINET user organisationsand the fieldbus foundation,aswellas thelatestEthernetfieldbusessuchasEtherCAT,EPLandSercosIII, togetanoverall ideaofthecurrenttrends.Inparticularwewillfocuson the real-time issue, a prerequisite formotor control applications. Real-timeEthernetcannowoperateatsub-millisecondaccesstimesandlessthanonemicrosecondjitter.Wewilllookatthevariousofferingsbythe abovementioned vendors and the twobasicmethodsthroughwhichthisincredibleperformanceisbeingachieved.
Finally we will look at every systemmanager’s nightmare, security, and willsuggest some simple common-sense andinternationally-accepted measures to keepthehackersatbay.

Oneofthegreatprotocolsinheritedfromtheinternet is TCP/IP, which is used by mostpresent-dayautomationandprocesscontrolsystems. SCADA systems, ProgrammableLogic Controllers and even low levelinstrumentsareusingTCP/IPandEthernettotransferinformation.TCP/IPandEthernetaretrulyopenstandards.
Modbus is one of the few (if not the only)industrial messaging protocols recognisedby the internet world, using port number502.Ithasoneofthelargestinstalledbasesworld-wide with more than 7.2 millioninstalled nodes.The ModbusTCP/IP profilehas recently been accepted by theInternational Electro-technical Commission(IEC) as a Publicly Available Specification(IEC PAS 62030) and is now eligible tobecome part of future editions of theInternational Standards IEC 61158 and IEC61784-2.Soitenjoysthestatusofawidelyavailable open standard available toeveryone,henceitspopularity.
Whilst detractors will say the Modbusprotocol lacks some of the refinements ofthe newer offerings on the market, thereis no doubt that it is one of the mostpopularstandardsavailableintheindustrialworldtoday.

The Program
There is a chasm between the theory ofelectron flow, magnetic fields andtroubleshooting electrical equipment andcontrol circuits in the plant.This workshopshows delegates how to troubleshootelectricalequipmentandcontrolcircuits.
Thecoursehelpsindividualsandemployers.It does this by increasing all delegatesknowledgeandskillsinimprovingequipmentproductivity whilst reducing maintenancecosts.
Attendance on this course will help alldelegatesidentify,preventandfixcommonelectricalequipmentandcontrolcircuits.Thefocus is "outside thebox".Theemphasis ison practical issues that go beyond typicalelectrical theory and focus on providingthosethatattendwiththenecessarytool-kitof skills in solving electrical problems,rangingfromcontrolcircuitstomotorsandvariablespeeddrives.
This workshop focuses on the main issuesoftroubleshootingelectricalequipmentandcontrol circuits of today to enable you towalkontoyourplantorfacilitytotroubleshootandfixproblemsasquicklyaspossible.
This is not an advanced workshop but one aimed at the fundamentals of troubleshooting systems. The workshop is very practical in its approach to troubleshooting and the examples you will be shown are applicable to any facility.
The Workshop
You will work in teams on simulationsoftware running on PC's on electricalequipmenttosimulaterealproblemsforatleast40%ofthecourseproceedingthroughten practical sessions ranging from theelementarytothemoreadvanced.Thesewillbe very close in structure to the motorcontrolcircuitsinyourplant.Inadditionwewill give three case study wiring diagramswith potential problems and expect you touncoverfaultswhengiventhesymptoms.

The Program
Inthepasttenyearstherehasbeenasignificantincrease in applying wind and solar powertechnologies from the domestic user to thecorporatemarket.Therehasbeenadramaticimprovement in the efficiencies in thesetechnologies and this has helped make theapplications economical. Specific energyyields fromwindturbineshave increasedby60% and installation costs have droppedsignificantly(upto50%inmanycases).Globalwindgeneratingcapacityhasreached100,000MW capacity in March 2008 with almost20,000MWinstalledduring2007alone.
Applicationsofphotovoltaic(PV)systemsaregrowing rapidly worldwide with worldwideinstallation of PV modules skyrocketing to2,826MWin2007(=62%growthfrom2006).Many countries are passing legislation toenforcegreateruseofPVsystemsandthisishelping to drive up the production of thesesystems.
Allofthesetechnologiesareinterdisciplinaryrequiringaknowledgeoftopicsasvariedasaerodynamics, electricity and wind statisticsforwindpowerandmechanicalengineering,electronicandelectricalengineeringforsolarpower.
This workshop will outline the step by stepprocess of designing, installing andcommissioning photovoltaic and windpowered systems. It should be emphasisedthatthisisnotanadvancedin-depthworkshopbut one covering the important issuesenablingyoutodosimpledesignsandthento investigate the design and installationissues in more detail after the workshopeitherbyfurtherstudyorinconjunctionwithexpertsinthefield.
Inrecentyearstheannualgrowthrateofthesolarandwindenergyindustryhasconsistentlyexceeded30%with3digitgrowth figures inmany regional markets. So in these ratherchallenging economic times; this is a goodindustryinwhichtofocusone'scareeron.

Installationofhighvoltagedistributionandtransmission equipment has increasedsignificantlyover theyearsduetoongoingglobal demand for power. As a result, theneed to ensure reliability of operation ofpower systems is paramount. Powertransformersareamongthemostimportantand most expensive components of powersystems. Their failure can imposeextraordinarilyhighcostsonplants,factoriesand utilities of all descriptions. It is criticalthat all personnel operating and workingwith such equipment have a soundknowledgeoftheiroperationalrequirementsand maintenance.This practical workshopprovidesknowledgeonboththetheoryandoperationofpowertransformers.Thecoursewilldevelopandenhanceanunderstandingof what is involved in the maintenance ofthese essential components of the powersystems, through the tips and tricks learntand developed by some of the world'spreeminentelectricalengineers.

The Program
Few topics generate as much controversyand argument as that of grounding (orearthing as it is called in some countries)and the associated topics of lightning andsurgeprotectionofelectricalandelectronicsystems.Any engineer dealing with powersupply networks needs to understand thebasicprinciplesofgroundingsystemdesignanditsroleinensuringsafetyofequipmentand personnel.A correct understanding ofthebasicprinciples involvedwill helphim/her toavoidmistakes ingroundingsystemdesign,mistakesthatcouldleadtoexpensivefailuresandlongdowntime.
Inthisworkshop,wewilltrytodemystifytheconceptsofgroundingasapplicabletoutilitynetworks and industrial plant distributionsystemsaswell as theirassociatedcontrolequipment.Infact,alotofmythshavebeenbuiltaroundthissubject,althoughitisquitea simple one when approached from basicprinciples.Ourendeavourwill thereforebeto explain the fundamentals of grounding,which we hope will enable the readers togainacorrectperspectiveofthesubjectandgive them the knowledge needed to solvereallifegroundingproblems.
Essentially this workshop is broken downintosystemgrounding,protectivegroundingand surge/noise protection of power andelectronics systems normally found indistribution networks. A brief introductionto the design of substation grounding hasbeen included. Detailed information onground electrodes and measurement ofgroundresistanceisalsoavailable.
Pre-requisites Someworkingknowledgeofbasicelectricalequipmentisrequired,althoughthiswillbecovered at the beginning of the course.Real-life experience with such equipmentand hands-on testing will enable theworkshoptobeplacedincontext.

The Program
Electrical substation safety is an importantissue in utility networks as well as largeindustrialinstallationsandrequiresadequateattention in the stagesof systemplanning,design, installation, operation andmaintenance.
A number of serious accidents includingfatalities occur every year in industrialestablishments due to accidents involvingelectricity,resultinginhugefinanciallossesandwastedman-hours.
Electrical safety is a well-legislated subjectand thevariousActsandRegulations layalot of stress on the responsibility of bothemployersandemployees inensuringsafeworkingconditions.
In this course, we will take a look at thetheoretical aspects of safety as well as thepracticalandstatutory issues.Safety isnotsimplyamatteroftakingprecautionsintheworkplace. It has to start at the stage ofequipment design. Safety should be builtintothedesignofelectricalequipmentanditis the responsibility of every manufacturerof electrical equipment to remove everypossible hazard that can arise from itsnormaluse.
Correctselectionandapplicationofelectricalmachinery is also important for ensuringsafety.A thorough inspection during initialerectionandcommissioningaswellasonaperiodicbasisthereafterisalsoveryessentialtoensuresafety.Batteriesusedinsubstationsneedparticularattentionsincetheycontaintoxic materials such as lead, corrosivechemicalssuchasacidoralkali.
Electricalsafetyisnotjustatechnicalissue.Accidents can only be prevented ifappropriate safety procedures are evolvedand enforced. This includes appropriateknowledge of equipment and systemsimparted through systematic training toeach and every person who operates ormaintains the equipment.We will cover alltheseaspectsindetail.
Pre-requisites Someworkingknowledgeofbasicelectricalequipmentisrequired,althoughthiswillbecovered at the beginning of the course.Real-life experience with such equipmentand hands-on testing will enable theworkshoptobeplacedincontext.

The Program
Therangeofvoltageandcapacityofpowertransmitted through cables has shown asteadyincreaseovertheyears.Environmentalconcerns, aesthetic issues, lack oftransmission corridors and difficulty inrouting overhead lines in crowded humanhabitats are some of the reasons for theexplosive growth of cable technology wellintotheextrahighvoltagerange.
Due to physical limits on cable lengths formanufacturingandpackaging,jointsincablebecomeinevitable,particularlyinthecontextoftheutilitysector.Thecablesalsoneedtobeterminatedatsendingandreceivingendequipment,averywidevarietyof them, inutility as well as industry applications andthis calls for appropriate cable terminationaccessories. Cable terminations and jointsform the weakest link in any distributionsystem.Also,afailedjointinanundergrounddistributionsystemismuchmoredifficulttolocate and repair compared to any similarproblem in overhead distribution systems.Thismeansthatweshoulddoourutmosttoachieve a good joint or termination, whichcangiveyearsoftrouble-freeservice.
Thequalityofajointorterminationdependstoalargeextentontheskillofcablejointer.The aim of a cable jointer must thereforeobtainajointwhoseelectricalpropertiesareasgoodastheoriginalcablebothinelectricaland mechanical terms.The design of cablejointing and termination accessories isbased on this perception. Dependence onoperator-skill is sought to be reduced bygoodchoiceandqualityofjointingmaterials,though such dependence cannot be totallyeliminated.
We will discuss these issues in this courseby looking at the fundamental aspectsinvolvedsothattheimportanceofthecorrectexecution of a termination or joint will bebrought home to those who attend theworkshop.
Pre-requisitesSome working knowledge of basic electricalequipment is required, although this will becoveredatthebeginningofthecourse.Real-life experience with such equipment andhands-ontestingwillenabletheworkshoptobeplacedincontext.

The Program
Our dependence on electricity is growingandevenafewsecondsorminutesofpowerdisruption has become unthinkable. Anunscheduled interruption can causeimmensedamageandlossoflife.Whileitisimpossibletoguarantee100%availabilityofpoweratallpointsinanysystem,vulnerablesections can be provided with alternativecritical power supply equipment to ensurereliablepoweravailability,therebyavoidingtheproblemsofpowerinterruption.
This workshop shows you how to ensurereliable power supply to critical systemsusing various available options. Thesolutions can vary from the simple dieselgenerating set as standby sources tosuperconducting sag support systems.Nascent technologies like fuel cells havematuredandarefastbecomingmainstreamsolutions. Of course, all this comes at aprice, which means that the solution mustmatch the actual needs without excessiveinsuranceandtherebyoptimiseinvestments.This workshop will discuss how to savedollarsbyfindingtherightsolutiontoyourneedssothatyouinvestjustwhatisneededandwhereitisneeded.
Another major aspect is to ensure that thecritical power supply is itself very reliable.Thiswillneedsuitable redundanciesandawell-engineereddistributionsystemsothatwhen the need arises they cut-in and takeover the load without any hitches. Thisworkshopwillalsobrieflylookatthedesignissues involved inplanningthedistributionof critical power by deploying state-of-theart control devices such as static transferequipment.

The Program
It is often said that drawing is engineers’language. Drawings are used tocommunicate and share informationbetween different teams of engineers; thedesign engineer who conceptualises anequipment or system, the productionengineer who plans the steps inmanufacturing the required componentsand subsystems, the assembly engineerwho puts the components together, thetesting engineer who tests the completesystem, the installation engineer whoinstalls the system or equipment and themaintenance engineer who is responsiblefor its upkeep.To all these engineers withdiverse backgrounds and expertise, adrawingshouldconveypreciseandidenticalinformation. This calls for standardisedmethodologies, conventions and approachin preparing drawings.This workshop willcover all these aspects with respect toengineering drawings in general andelectrical drawings in particular. Varioustypes of electrical drawings and theirapplication,thestepsinplanningadrawing,selection of drawing size and scale, use ofstandardisedsymbolsetcwillbedescribedin detail with commonly used examplesfromindustrypractice.

Apart from reuse and easymodificationof existingdrawings to createnew ones, complete or partial automateddrawing preparation has also become apossibility.

The Program
In any distribution system, cabling andearthingarecriticalcomponentsinensuringcontinuity,reliabilityandsafetyofoperationandmaintenance.Theentire flowofpowerin a system (or at least a major part of it)goes through cables and thus any failureswould result in major disruption of powerflow.Correctlyselected, sizedand installedcables can give trouble-free operation forseveral decades. Not only cables, but alsoaccessoriesusedforjointingandterminatingcables play an important role in reliability.As the voltage rating of cables goes up,installation,terminationandjointingrequiregreater care since failures could beexpensive to repair and can causewidespread disturbances in the powersystem. And when failures do occur, theyneed to be pinpointed accurately usingmoderntestmethodssothatrepairscanbeundertaken promptly and service restoredwithminimumdelay.
Ontheotherhand,theearthingsystemdoesnot play a direct part in the normal powerflow but is very important in ensuring thatinsulationfailurescanbepromptlydetectedand isolated by proper selection of systemearthing. The other major function is toensure that no unsafe voltages appear inanyexternalorextraneousconductingpartsofanelectricalsystem.Agoodknowledgeofearthing system is necessary to design asafe system and ensuring continued safeoperation.
Thiscourseisdesignedtoensurethatthoseresponsible for the selection, installation,and maintenance of power cabling andearthing systems understand the technicalissues involved and comply with relevantspecifications and requirements in apracticalandeffectivemanner.

The Program
Practical Engineers and Technicians arealways under pressure to meet the day-to-daychallengesofmaintainingpowerqualityand minimising outages in powerdistribution networks. As a result of thischallenge they tend to sharpen their skillsonly with regard to the most obviouspractical and theoretical tools and to allowotherinsightsthatareasnecessarytopowersystems as vitamins are to biologicalsystems,toberelegatedtothearchivesortothe "experts". It is often possible to applyquick-remedies or to use trial and error toobtain"cures"tocorrectdifficulttodiagnosefaults in power distribution systems. Bygaining a deeper and more fundamentalunderstandingof thebasics, the traditionaltrial-and-error approach makes way fordeterministicsolutionswithsurercures.

Electrical safety is an important issue forthoseworkingonelectricalfacilitiesinutilitynetworksandlargeindustrialinstallations.Anumber of serious accidents includingfatalitiesoccureveryyeardue toaccidentsinvolving electricity resulting in hugefinanciallossesandwastedman-hours.Arcflashes in electrical equipment are nowconsidered one of the major causes ofelectricalaccidentsevensurpassingthewellknown hazards of electric shock. Avoidingarcflashincidentsandtheresultinginjuriesis one of major challenges today facingelectrical workers and requires adequateattention in the stagesof systemplanning,design, installation, operation andmaintenance.
Injuries due to arc flash can depend onmany factors, one of which is the incidentthermal energy on a worker exposed to aflash. Today, a considerable body ofknowledge exists as a result of researchefforts and is available to designers andmaintenance engineers in the form ofstandardssuchasIEEE1584andNFPA70E.This workshop will detail the basis of thisapproachandalsoaboutthemajoradvanceshavebeenmadeintheareaofPPEmadeofHR fabrics and rated for different levels ofthermalexposure.
Prevention however still remains the bestform of protection and switchgearmanufacturers have made considerabledesignadvancestoensurethattheeffectofarc flash incidents is contained within theenclosure of switchgear (often called arcflash resistant switchgear) and methods oftesting such switchgear have also evolvedsimultaneously.Another important factor isthe approach to avoid arc incidents withinthe switchgear by proper design andmaintenance and techniques to reduce theseverity of the flash should such incidentsoccur.

The Program
The overall focus of this workshop is onelectrical inspection, testing andcommissioning and will commence with adetailed examination of switchgear (andcircuitbreakers).Circuitbreakersarecriticalcomponents in electrical distributionsystems and their operation significantlyaffectstheoveralloperationofthesystem.
Protection relaysare thendiscussed.Theseare used in power systems to maximisecontinuity of supply and are found in bothsmall and large power systems fromgeneration, through transmission,distributionandutilisationofpowerinplant,industrialandcommercialequipment.
Day two will cover commissioning andperiodic inspection of cables and theirvarious failure modes and how to detectthese faults.The often neglected topic ofswitchboardswillbedetailednext,followedbytheinterestingtopicofinterfacingtothecontrolsystem(eitherPLCsorothercontroldevices).
Thecoursewillbeconcludedwithanumberof practical case studies which will pulltogether the materials examined over thepasttwodays.

The Program
Industries require stable, reliable powersupply. Sometimes this becomes difficultdue to remote location of the industry orweak grid supply. Essential loads need tobe provided with power supply fromin-plant generators either to supplementthegridsupplyorasanemergencysourcefor critical loads which can tolerate verylittle or no interruptions. Diesel enginegeneratorsareusefulinthesecircumstancesbecause of their simplicity, ease ofmaintenance and ability to run withdifferenttypesoffuels.Theycanbestartedeasily without external supply assistance,availableinavarietyofratingsandcanbeoperated in parallel with other generatorsorwiththesupplygridifneeded.
This training describes the principles ofengines and generators starting with thefundamentals, discusses the optionsavailable and the constructional details ofengines, the electrical alternators andauxiliary equipment in an easy tounderstand manner. The testing andcommissioningofDieselenginegeneratorsand their operation and maintenanceaspectsarealsodiscussed.
Anoptional thirdday isalsooffered (referto the separate outline given in thisdocument)forthosewhowishtoachieveamore in-depth knowledge of the engine-based power plants, operation of morethan one engine generator in parallel andalsosynchronisedtotheutilitygrid.

The Program
Ensuring a reliable power supply for yourinstallationisprobablyoneofyourkeytasksas an engineer, technician or managerespecially with the current challenges ofrolling black outs in South Africa. Anunscheduled interruption can cause loss ofproduction,,immensedamageandpossiblyaccidents and loss of life. While it isimpossibletoguarantee100%availabilityofpoweratallpointsinanysystem,vulnerablesections can be provided with alternativecritical power supply equipment to ensurereliablepoweravailability,therebyavoidingtheproblemsofpowerinterruption.
Thekey initialobjectiveof theworkshopisto go through the key steps in ensuring areliable power supply to critical systemsusing various available options. Thesolutions can vary from the simple dieselgenerating set as standby sources to high-capacity UPS systems for large businesspremises. New technologies such as fuelcells have matured and are fast becomingmainstream solutions. Of course, all thiscomes at a price, which means that thesolution must match the actual needs at areasonablecost.Wewilldiscusshowtosavedollarsbyfindingtherightsolutiontoyourneedssothatyouinvestjustwhatisneededandwhereitisneeded.
Another major aspect is to ensure thatcritical power supply is itself very reliable.Thiswillneedsuitable redundanciesandawell-engineered multi-module system sothat when the need arises the redundantmodules cut-in and take over the loadwithoutanyhitches.Thisworkshopwillalsobrieflylookatthedesignissuesinvolvedinplanningthedistributionofcriticalpowerbydeploying state-of-the art control devicessuchasstatictransferequipment.
Finally, strategies you can implement tooptimise energy efficiencies at your facilitywill be examined. Reducing electric powerusageresultsinreducedexpendituretotheconsumer. On a macro-level, it reducespower demand and avoids the need forpowercutsandloadsheddingbythepowersupplyagencies.Italsoreducesthecapacityrequirement and capital expenditure onstandbypowerequipment.Theworkshopisconcludedwiththestepstotaketooptimisetheenergyefficiencyofyourinstallation.
Ifyouareresponsibleformaintainingpoweravailabilityinyourfacility,thisworkshopissomething which you simply cannot affordto miss.And all you need is to just investthree days of your time and listen to whatourexpertinstructorshavetosay!
Pre-requisites Workingknowledgeofelectricalengineeringandhands-onworkwithpowerdistributionsystemsinaplantenvironmentwithcriticalprocesses is desirable. Real-life experiencewith critical power supply sources such asuninterruptedpower supply (UPS) systemswill further enable the workshop to beplacedincontext.

The Program
Electricalsubstationsformimportantnodalpoints in all power networks. Substationscan be of various capacities, voltages,configurations and types depending onwhat is the application for which thesubstationisbeingdesigned.Locationandlayoutofasubstationpresentanumberofchallenges to the designer due to a largevariety of options available to a designer.Thereareeversomanyconstraintstoothatneed to be kept in mind; technical,environmental and naturally financial.Arrivingatanoptimumdesignwithintheseconstraints is as much an art as it is ascience.Designingasubstationwhichwilloperate with utmost reliability for at theleast three or four decades involves athoroughknowledgeofthecurrentstate-of-theartequipment,emergingtechnologies,the tools forpresentingandevaluatingallavailable options and a good appreciationof power system operation andmaintenance.

The Program
Intwofascinatingandintensivebuteasy-to-understand days you will learn the basicapplied concepts of mechanical, electricaland instrumentation engineering.This willenable you to work more effectively withyour engineering colleagues – no matterwhether theyareoperators, tradespersons,techniciansorengineers.
There are three main threads runningthrough this course – initially mechanicalengineering,thenelectricalengineeringbestpracticeandconcludedwithinstrumentation(orindustrialautomation).
Mechanical engineering in simple termsdealswithanyequipmentthatmoves;thisiswhatmakesitperhapsthemostbroadanddiverse of engineering disciplines. Themechanicaldisciplineessentiallyderivesitsbreadth from the need to design andmanufacture everything from small, evennano,individualdevices,suchasmeasuringinstruments, to large systems such asmachinetoolsandpowerplants.
Thefocusinelectricalengineeringisonthebuildingblocksofelectricalengineering,thefundamentals of electrical design andintegratingelectricalengineeringknow-howinto the other disciplines within anorganisation. Unnecessary theory will beminimised.
The dangers and risks from electrocution,shock,explosionsandarcblastcanneverbeeliminatedbutyoucantakedefinitestepstoprotectyourselfandyourco-workers.
The topics in instrumentation engineeringcommence with an introduction toinstrumentation and measurement rangingfrompressure, level, temperatureand flowdevices followed by a review of processcontrol including the all important topic ofPIDlooptuning.

The Program
Few topics generate as much controversyand argument as that of earthing and theassociated topics of surge protection,shielding and lightning of electrical andelectronic systems. Poor earthing practicecanbethecauseofcontinualandintermittentdifficult-to-diagnose problems in a facility.Thisworkshoplooksattheseissuesfromafresh yet practical perspective and enablesyoutoreduceexpensivedowntimeonyourplant and equipment to a minimum bycorrectapplicationoftheseprinciples.
Thisworkshopisdesignedtodemystifythesubjectofearthingandpresentsthesubjectin a clear, straightforward manner.Installation, testing and inspectionprocedures for industrial and commercialpower systems will be examined in detail.Essentially this workshop is broken downintoearthing,shieldingandsurgeprotectionfor both power and electronics systems.Earthing and surge protection fortelecommunications and IT systems areexamined in detail.

The Program
From microwave ovens to alarm systems to industrial PLC and DCS control systems, embedded controllers are controlling our world. The microcontrollers that are at the heart of these and many more devices are becoming easier and simpler to use. But when these devices fail the solution to the problem needs to be found and the repairs done quickly.
The Embedded Controllers: Troubleshooting and Design workshop will help the technician, engineer and even the most casual user understand the inter-workings of microcontrollers along with the most common problems and their solutions.
Embedded controllers are used in most electronic equipment today. Embedded controllers are intelligent electronic devices used to control and monitor devices connected to the real world. This can be a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), Distributed Control System (DCS) or a Smart Sensor. These devices are used in almost every walk of life today. Most automobiles, factories and even kitchen appliances have embedded controllers in them.
This two-day workshop covers all aspects of embedded controllers but focussing specifically on troubleshooting and design. The workshop covers design, specification, programming, installation, configuration and of course troubleshooting.
This hands-on workshop gives both the novice and experienced user a solid grasp of the basic principles enabling you to go away and apply the material learnt immediately to your application.
The Workshop
Workshop Objectives
The objectives are simply to give you a thorough grounding in the use of microcontrollers; thus enabling you to design your own system hardware and then to program it. Further to this it will also help you to troubleshoot, diagnose and fix faults on your microcontroller systems.
Practical Sessions
Groups of two attendees will be allocated a PC and microcontroller development board to develop complete projects. You will use internationally known software packages, chosen for their high profile and popularity in the industrial environment. You will develop your ability in working with Embedded Controller systems and reinforce the information learned in the workshop. You will learn first-hand how to set up and use the development system to build a complete working prototype project.

The Program
Any training class is a considerable investment in terms of cost and your time. You can’t afford to waste any of your precious time and you need to attend something that is useful and improves your productivity. After five years of presentation throughout the world, this workshop is well polished, practical and relevant.
The aim of this workshop is to help you identify, design, prevent and fix common EMI/EMC problems with a focus on earthing and shielding techniques. Learning how to fix earthing and shielding problems on the job can be very expensive and frustrating. Although it must be noted that most of the principles involved are simple, this course will give you the tools to approach earthing and shielding issues in a logical and systematic way.
This course focuses on the issues of interest to you if you are working in design, operation or maintenance of analog or digital systems involving sensors, data acquisition, process control, cables, signal processing, programmable logic controllers, power distribution, high speed logic etc.
The circuit board layout section concentrates on design and layout of circuits and components on a printed circuit board. The overall focus is on useful design and systems issues; not about regulations and standards. The idea is that you will take this material back with you to your work and apply the key principles immediately to your design and troubleshooting challenges.
Pre-requisites Some working knowledge of basic electrical engineering principles is required, although there will be a revision at the beginning of the workshop. No prior EMC or electrical noise knowledge is necessary.

The Program
Power electronic circuits have revolutionised almost every device that we use today from PC's to TV's, microwave ovens and heavy industrial drives.
Switch mode power supplies (SMPS) have thus become an important part of equipment design in all types of industrial equipment and an understanding of the different types and designs has become essential for reliable operation of complex equipment.
This workshop gives you a fundamental understanding of the basic components that form a SMPS design. You will understand how the selection of components affects the different performance parameters and operation of the SMPS. Typical practical applications of the SMPSs in industry will be discussed.
The concluding section of the workshop gives you the fundamental tools in troubleshooting SMPS designs confidently and effectively.
Even though the focus of the workshop is on the direct application of this technology, you will also gain a thorough understanding of the problems that can be introduced by SMPSs such as harmonics, electrostatic discharge and EMC/EMI problems.
Pre-requisites A fundamental knowledge of basic electrical concepts would be useful.

The Program
WHAT IS E-MANUFACTURING, MES ANDSUPPLYCHAINMANAGEMENT?
Supply Chain Management involves theoptimisationofthewayinwhichacompanyplans the production of goods or services,procures raw materials from varioussuppliers, manufactures the goods orservices, delivers it to customers andhandlesreturns.
E-Manufacturing starts with an order for aproduct and then encompasses the entiremanufacturing cycle of the product.Manufacturers need a highly responsivesupply chain and manufacturing system toensurethattheymeetthehighexpectationsoftheircustomerswho,intoday'seconomy,demand absolutely the best service, price,deliverytimeandproductquality.
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)provide up-to-the-minute mission-criticalinformation about production activitiesacross the factory and supply chain viacommunications networks (e.g. Local AreaNetworks), resulting in the optimisation ofactivities throughout all aspects of themanufacturing process. MES accomplishthis task by guiding, initiating, respondingto, and reporting on plant activities in realtime, by using current and accurate data.Thisrapidresponsetochangingconditions,together with a focus on reducing non-profitable activities, lead to more efficientplantoperationsandprocesses.
MESreducescycle times, levelsofWork inProgress (WIP),dataentry time,paperworkand scrap. It also improves utilisation ofplant capacity, process control quality,arrangement of plant activities, tracking ofordersandcustomerservice.
Research figures show that manufacturershave been able to achieve the followingimprovementsthroughMES:
• an average reduction of manufacturingcycletimeby45%
• anaverage reductionofdataentry timeby75%
• anaveragereductionofWIPby24%
• an average reduction of paperworkbetweenshiftsby61%
• an average reduction of lead time by27%
• an average reduction of paperwork andblueprintlossesby56%
• anaverage reductionofproductdefectsby18%
ImplementationofMESinvariablyresultsinimproved returns on production assets,on-time delivery, faster inventory turnover,larger net profits (through increased costreduction)andimprovedcashflow.
Pre-requisites: An elementary understanding of businessand manufacturing operations processes.No specific knowledge of software isrequired.

The Program
It is 6.00 in the evening after a hot summer’s afternoon and the shift has just changedover. The control room has been rather quiet through the day with the odd alarm punctuating the serene silence. In fact this plant has been a truly contented baby with nomajorproblemsforover18monthssinceit was commissioned. Apart from the inevitable mechanical wear and tear associated with a new plant. Suddenly there is an explosive roar outside and the control room door bursts open with the shift foreman dripping with sweat shouting: “We’vejustlostUnit3,I’mnotsurewhatishappening…can you tell me what is going on”. Within seconds the alarms start pouring in. The operator starts to systematically work his way through the overview displays trying to identify what is going on. But he is slowly overwhelmed by the sheer number of alarms which are flitting across the screen so fast that he cannot even read them. And Unit 3 is now starting to lurch into adangerous state with pressures, flows and temperatures well outside acceptable operating ranges. So it looks like an immediate shutdown of the plant is going to be required with some very unhappy customers over the next few weeks.
Was there any other approach possible?
Hopefully this is not the scenario on your plant; but could this just perhaps happen?Does your alarm system ensure the operator stays unerringly focussed on the source of the problem or is there a possibility that he could get overwhelmed and distracted by the number of alarms where many of them may not be relevant to the immediate problem?
It is important that throughout the plant that a consistent philosophy is adopted for alarms and that your operators are not distracted from the main ball game of operating the plant.
This workshop will give you the necessary information to ensure that your alarm system is well designed and provides your operators with the best picture of the operations of the plant. The workshop focuses on simple and practical information for personnel ranging from operators all the way up to supervisors, engineers and managers.
There are nine practical sessions in the design of alarm systems throughout the workshop, these ensure that you can apply the information gained in the training to your own plant and systems.
Pre-requisites Some background in working with SCADA and process control systems would be useful to maximise your benefit from this workshop

The Program
This workshop is designed to benefit you with practical up-to-date information on the application of PLCs for the automation and process control of plants and factories. It is suitable for people who have little or no exposure to PLCs, but expect to become involved in some or all aspects of PLC installation. It aims to give practical advice from experts in the field, to assist you to correctly plan, program and install a PLC with a shorter learning curve and more confidence.
While the workshop is ideal for electricians, technicians and engineers who are new to PLCs, much of the workshop and additional material in the extensive manual will be of value to those who already have some basic skills, but need a wider perspective for larger and more challenging tasks ahead. The accompanying manual includes contributions from a number of experts and will become a valuable reference in your work. The information contained in this workshop advances from the basics to challenge even the most experienced engineer in the industry today.
Pre-requisites A basic electrical knowledge would be useful but is not essential.

The Program
This workshop shows you how to:• structuretheactivitiesofbatchcontrolinto
easy to understand tasks • choose,designandmanageanautomated
batch management control system• save your business time and money by
choosing and designing the correct, and therefore efficient batch process control system
The workshop is presented in learning modules. At the end of each module we will examine the way in which the particular feature we have built contributes to the overall scheme. The scheme can be simple or it may be a complete manufacturing scheme integrated to a sales operation.
For example we will examine situations such as:• businesseswheretheweeklytallyofsales

• how the plant responds quickly to theshopping list
• howwereportbackonwhatwasactuallyproduced
• howwereportonbatchnumbers• tracingwhichbatchtankswereused• identifyingifatankwascontaminated• howdoweknowwhichproductstorecall?
Historically batch control systems were designed in individual ways to match the basic arrangement of plant equipment. They lacked the ability to convert to new products without having to modify the control systems. These schemes did not lend themselves to recipe based operations or to integration with manufacturing management systems.
This workshop concentrates on getting the building bricks right and arranging the structures into flexible schemes suitable for automated batch management, e.g being able to work in response to new recipes that use the same plant equipment in different combinations.
The material in this workshop aligns with current practices in the automation of batch processes, including the drive for integration withMESandERPproducts frommajor ITproduct companies. References and exampleswillbedrawnfromDCS/PLCbatchcontrol products in the market place.
The Workshop
Workshop Objectives
This workshop is designed for you to:
• be able to plan, structure and manage abatchmanufacturingproject
• gain a basic knowledge of the S88standard and be aware of critical design issues in batch control systems
• have a basic knowledge of currenttechnologies in batch control and how to utilise them in the implementation stages ofaproject
• beabletoplanforgrowthintoaproductionmanagement facility with ERP integration potential
Your knowledge of batch control system fundamentals, will assist you to avoid the expensive mistake of choosing the incorrect package for your business requirements.
Pre-requisites A basic knowledge of electrical engineering principles and concepts will be an advantage.

• Doyouhavetripsandsafetyinterlocksinyour plant? Are they good enough or are they perhaps over-designed and much more expensive than necessary? Are you or your company aware of how Hazard Studies should define risk reduction requirements? Are you actually using hazard studies at all?
• Are you aware that safety systems arerated according to need using a scale of SILs? What does this mean and what are the cost implications? How do these things relate to regulatory requirements?
How will this workshop help?
• Ifyouworkwithhazardstudiesithelpstoknow how trips and alarms are supposed to be built
• Ifyouworkwithtripsandalarmsithelpsto know how hazard studies are supposed to be performed
The link between the two is critical: It is not unusual for the plant safety systems to be out of touch with the original problem analysis. This is one of main causes of accidents on process plants.
How can you deal with this problem?
The answer is the integrated approach to safety management.
New international standards combined with well-proven hazard study methods can improve safety management in your company.
Scope of the WorkshopThe workshop describes the role of hazard studies in risk management and then proceeds with basic training in Hazop techniques. The concepts of risk reduction and some techniques of hazard analysis are introduced at this stage. Training in alarm and trip systems concentrates on features that are relevant to project teams at theHazop study stages. These include the practical implications and costs of calling for trips and the often-confusing subject ofsafety integrity levels (SILs) and how they are determined.
A number of practical exercises support the training information and allow participants test their understanding of the material provided in the training manual.

The Program
This workshop provides you with an understanding of the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. It is based on the international IEC79 series of standards that are now replacing the older national standards. Installation utilising Explosion-Protected (Ex) equipment can be expensive to design, install and operate. The wider approaches described in these standards can significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining plant safety.
The associated terminology and its correct use are explained throughout the workshop. It covers area classification, selection of explosion protected electrical apparatus as well as describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with these international requirements. Standards require that engineering staff and their management are trained effectively and safely in hazardous areas and this workshop is designed to help fulfil that need.

The Program
This practical, intensive, two-day workshop explains the application concepts of explosion protection using Intrinsic Safety (IS or Ex 'I'). This is with reference to British, European and International Standards for the certification and use of electrical 'apparatus'. Where electrical equipment is used in 'Potentially Flammable Atmospheres', the IEC79 Series of International Standards are now emerging and gaining acceptance in order to develop a global approach to hazardous area plant safety. The workshop covers IS as the preferred technique for instrumentation appliedtoindustrialplantInputs/Outputsinhazardous areas. The principles of IS do not change since these are based on the laws of physics, however, the implementation of IS is open to interpretation and causes some conflictasthesubjectisstillseenasa'blackart'.
The workshop aims to widen the understanding of this technique by explaining the basic rules within the context of their application. Engineers and technicians working in hazardous process control and instrumentation areas must have an understanding of the close integration between the safety and operational aspects of Intrinsic Safety (IS) as a protection technique in order to specify, design and maintain systems. The workshop is designed to explain the theory of IS and its close integration with operational signal transfer. You will gain a greater understanding of IS loop concepts as a basis for working with measurement and control loops using standard and custom IS solutions. Defining and applying the correct terminology will assist you in communicating and documenting important safety details.
Pre-requisites: Fundamental grounding in basic electrical concepts.

The Program
Thisworkshopisdesignedtotrainyouand/or your staff, in the configuration and tuning of industrial control loops using a minimum of mathematics and formulas. Controllers need to be carefully matched to the process to work optimally; this matching procedure is called tuning. Controllers that are not correctly configured and tuned will not perform optimally and will not reduce variability in the process as they should.
Theaimofthisworkshopistoprovideand/or enhance the skills required to configure and tune a controller for optimum operation. An optimally tuned processed loop is critical for a wide variety of industries ranging from food processing, chemical manufacturing, oil refineries, pulp and paper mills, mines and steel mills. Although tuning rules are designed to give reasonably tight control, thismaynotalwaysbetheobjective.Somethought needs to be given when retuning a loop as to whether the additional effort is justifiedastheremaybeotherissueswhichare the cause of the poor control. These issues will be discussed in some detail in the workshop. At the end of this workshop you will have the skills to troubleshoot and tune a wide variety of process loops.
Pre-requisitesBasic knowledge of instrumentation and process plant would be useful.
Please bring a calculator (or computer) and pen along to the course to assist with the calculations.
The Workshop
Simulation Exercises
Throughout the workshop, simulation software is used to simulate real loops and to give you real hands-on exercises in a safe practice environment. You will see the simulated process output respond to your input and configuration changes on the loop controller. You will reinforce and apply the concepts learnt using real field test data in simulation.

This practical course initially examines the basic building blocks and design tools to implement motion control systems. Fundamental concepts of load, inertia, force and real time will be discussed.
The various factors such as performance limitations and costs that impact the selection of electro hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical technologies are discussed.
Servo basics are then examined in considerable detail giving you the practical tools in which to work with these systems.
The electrical and mechanical characteristics important in tying together the drive and motor to the mechanical device are then reviewed from a practical perspective.
The basic motors used in motion control such as DC and AC motors, stepper and servo motors and their applications, are also examined. These motors range from small instrumentation motors to robust AC induction motors and to the stepper motors used in open loop control.
Pre-requisites A basic working knowledge of electrical engineering concepts is useful but not essential as there will be brief revision at the commencement of the class. Please don't forget to bring a scientific calculator!

The Program
OPC has come a long way in making the engineers’ dream of plug and play compatibility in automation engineering achievable. OPC is an industry-wide standard that breaks this proprietary lock by allowing open connectivity based on the principles adapted from widely accepted and applied Microsoft Windows integration standards. OPC capabilities have been demonstrated in many practical applications and it is now a well-established approach for different competing manufacturers. It is now easily considered to be the standard interface in the windows environment. If you are serious about reducing your costs of installing and maintaining your automation systems you need to use OPC.
If you have only briefly heard about OPC and want to get to grips with its tremendous power and apply this to your plant and application, then this workshop will give you the necessary tools. You will receive a valuable overview of OPC and understand why it is the standard of choice for data access in automation systems. You will be exposed to and understand the essential components of OPC based on typical applications. You will understand how OPC servers are installed and how they are then accessed by OPC clients (which could be SCADA systems). The exercises that you will work through in the class will allow you to apply the theory you gain in the class in a practical manner.
The OPC specification will be discussed in great detail and you will be exposed to the development of OPC servers and clients. The interaction between OPC and DCOM will be discussed in practical detail.
The latest trends and future developments with OPC in the USA and Europe will bedetailed.

The Program
This workshop is designed to give you a solid understanding of the essentials of process control and skill you and/or yourstaff, in the latest procedures for the tuning of industrial control loops using a minimum of mathematics and formulas. A clear review of the principles and essentials of process control is given thus allowing you to gain the skills to tune a wide variety of controllers. Tuning controllers is an exact science that requires precise configuring of the process controller using the correct procedures.
Theaimofthisworkshopistoprovideand/or enhance the skills required to tune a controller for optimum operation. An optimally tuned processed loop is critical for a wide variety of industries ranging from food processing, chemical manufacturing, oil refineries, pulp and paper mills, mines and steel mills. Although tuning rules are designed to give reasonably tight control, thismaynotalwaysbetheobjective.Somethought needs to be given when retuning a loop as to whether the additional effort is justifiedastheremaybeotherissueswhichare the cause of the poor control. By the end of this workshop you will have the skills to troubleshoot and tune a wide variety of process loops.
Pre-requisitesThis is not an advanced course, but one aimed at the fundamentals. Basic electrical concepts and some knowledge of instrumentation would be useful.
Simulation ExercisesThroughout the workshop, simulation software is used to simulate real loops and to give you a minimum of twelve real hands-on exercises in a safe practice environment.
You will see the simulated process output respond to your input and configuration changes on the loop controller. You will reinforce and apply the concepts learnt using real field test data in simulation.

The Program
SCADA has traditionally meant a window into the process of a plant or gathering of data from devices in the field, but now the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business and using it in real time. The emphasis today, is on using Open Standards such as communication protocols (egIEC60870,DNP3andTCP/IP)and‘off-the-shelf’ hardware and software to keep the costs down. This comprehensive two day workshop covers the essentials of SCADA systems and telemetry and radio/wirelesscommunications.
A selection of case studies is used to illustrate the key concepts with examples of real world working SCADA systems in the water, electrical and processing industries. This workshop will be an excellent opportunity to network with your peers as well as gain significant new information and techniquesforyournextSCADAproject.
Although the emphasis of the workshop will be on practical industry topics highlighting recent developments using case studies and the latest application of SCADA technologies the fundamentals of SCADA systems will be covered. The workshop is aimed at those who want to be updated on the latest developments in SCADA systems and want to get a solid appreciation of the fundamentals of SCADA and Telemetry design, installation and troubleshooting.

The Program
PLCs have become part of the backbone of industrial automation. The International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) has developed a standard set of programming languages for industrial PLCs. The success of these languages can be measured by the large number of major PLC manufacturerswho are developing products that are 61131-3 compliant. IEC 61131-3 is becoming the standard of choice in many industries, and will boost productivity and enhance software quality. If you master the subject today,your programming knowledge will be applicable across brands well into the future. This knowledge is vital for personal career development.
The aim of this intensive two-day course is to go beyond the basic concepts and introduce you to the practical techniques and applications of 61131-3. We cut across apparent differences wherever PLCs are used and introduce standards that are widely applicable.
If you ever need to program PLCs or justunderstand more about their capabilities, then this course is for you. The course is pitched at an intermediate level suitable for anyone with some experience with PLCs. If you are a trainee engineer, graduate, control systems engineer, technician, or senior operator you will gain essential knowledge that will significantly enhance existing knowledge of PLCs.

Whether this is true or not is difficult to establish but we do know that the method of sizing and selecting a control valve for a specific application is generally not well understood. Although there are many factors that need to be taken into account the subject is not difficult tounderstand if dealt with in a logical manner.
Many maintenance problems result from people treating the symptoms of a problem rather than tackling the true cause - a basic understanding of the principles is all that is usually needed to solve the problem for good. This practical, hands-on workshop is designed to maximise knowledge retention and understanding. It provides an opportunity for participants to discuss with the presenter and others, specific problems and appropriate solutions. All delegates take away a detailed and comprehensive copy of the material presented; therefore minimal note taking is encouraged to ensure maximum delegate participation and attention.
Pre-requisites No specialist knowledge or skills are required – only a technical background sothat there is an understanding for such factors as the difference between pressure and force. In fact this workshop is a good introduction to someone who has had no dealings with control valves in the past as well as an important refresher workshop for control valve specialists who benefit from theback–to-basicsapproach.

The Program
This two day hands-on workshop concentrates on demonstrating how a thorough knowledge and understanding of how the plant works from a drawing and documentation perspective will greatly enhance your ability to maintain and enhance the operation of the plant. You will learn to diagnose problems and suggest solutions on a plant you have never seen. Too often plant modifications that are instituted fix the symptom instead of the underlying problem, this workshop will show you why it is so important to keep looking at the plant documentation as a whole in order to solve the problem.
You will also learn how to create documentation using simple standards and specifications as well as custom design a solution for your own plant. Disciplines covered include process, electrical and instrumentation and numerous practical exercise sessions allow the application of knowledge gained to reinforce the principles. This is not an advanced course but focusing on the basic practical principles.

The Program
This workshop will cover the practical applications of the modern distributed control system (DCS). Whilst all control systems are distributed to a certain extent, there is a definite merging of the concepts of DCS, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and SCADA and despite the rapid growth in the use of PLCs and SCADA systems, some of the advantages of a DCS can still be said to be:
integrity: The expected process down-time caused by a conventional DCS is significantly less than with using a SCADA/PLC. Oneincident in a refinery can cost more than the difference in price between a DCS and SCADA/PLC.Reasonsforthiswouldincluderedundancy, fault tolerance, diagnostic alarmingon I/Oerrors,systemdesign,andothers.
engineering time: A small SCADA/PLCsystem is easy to design and configure. As the system grows bigger, the effort involved to properly design and configure the system grows exponentially, and also the risks that things can go wrong. To design and implement a single loop PID controller in a SCADA/PLC system is easy and quick.Todesign and implement the base layer control on a refinery using a SCADA/PLC systemcan be challenging without a highly skilled team of industrial automation engineer and technicians.
Abnormal Situation Management and Intelligent Alarm Management is a very important DCS issue that provides significant advantages over PLC and SCADA systems. FewDCSsdojusticetotheprocess;intermsof controlling for superior performance - most of them merely do the basics and leave the rest to the operators. Operators tend to operate within their comfort zone; they don't drive the process "like Schumacher driveshis Ferrari". If more than one adversecondition developed at the same time and the system is too basic to act protectively, the operator would probably not be able to reactadequatelyandriskamajordeviation.
Operators have little feedback on their own performance and exceptional adverse conditions are often not handled as well as they should be. Why are DCSs generally so under utilised? Often because the vendor minimises the applications software development costs to be sure of winning the job, or because he does not know enoughabout the process or if it is a green-field situation, enough could not be known at commissioning time but no allowance was made to add the missing functionality during the ramp-up phase.
This workshop examines all these issues and gives suggestions in dealing with them and whilst by no means exhaustive, provides an excellent starting point for you in working with DCSs.

The Program
This workshop is designed for engineers and technicians from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds and will provide an excellent introduction and hands-on experience in installation, calibration, commissioning and maintenance of electronic instrumentation. The workshop is initiated with coverage of the basics on electrical measurements and some tips and tricks. Instrument performance and calibration principles are then covered with rules for calibrating transmitters. Hereafter the procedures for calibrating and installing smart transmitters are covered. Typical documentation requirements for instruments are examined with a focus on instrument data sheets, P&ID’s and wiring diagrams. During the life span of any plant, a multitude of different vendors will supply plant modifications and equipment as the plant is continuously enhanced. The quality of the documentation produced will vary enormously with each new supplier. Instruments in hazardous areas are then detailed. The course is then finalised with a discussion on integration of the entire system and testing and commissioning procedures for instruments detailed.
Pre-requisites A knowledge of fundamental electrical concepts would be useful.

The Program
RFID is one of the fastest growing technologies in the automatic data collection industry. The widespread use of RFID in such varied applications as electronic article surveillance, animal tagging and high volume logistics supply has resulted in low prices of the tags. It is conceivable with the affordability of tags that they can be permanently used to identify foodstuffs and clothing items. There are still a number of questions raised about issues such as cost and in particular privacy. This 2-day workshop will cover all the essential aspects of RFID systems to not only provide you with a broad understanding of its technology but also the various types of applications and uses where it can be applied to.
The workshop will provide an overview of RFID technology, explain the physics and electronics driving this technology whilst also focusing on communication protocols, industry standards and security issues. It also covers software requirements, middleware and integration with various business applications and practices. Implementation strategies and challenges, cost analysis, market opportunities and the road-ahead will be discussed throughout the 2 days.
The workshop provides hands-on training in setting up, testing and running a RFID system using notebook computers and RFID demo-kits. These sessions will explore identifying components, studying the characteristics of RFID transponders, antenna, their limitations and troubleshooting.
Case studies are shown throughout the 2 days to give you a practical understanding of its application to industry.
Pre-requisites Basic knowledge of electrical and electronics concepts useful. Knowledge of datacommunications and applications are desirable, but not essential.

The Program
This interactive workshop uses a systems approach to troubleshooting and is designed to encourage delegates to take a new look at the methodology of faultfinding and rectification on their plant. Having covered the types of equipment, we look at first line troubleshooting, then the advanced level and finally work through some typical examples.
The first step is to get to grips with the processes and relevant process variables, then to look at their measurements and the basics of the systems that control them. Before embarking on the look-feel-listen-decide sequence, we pause for a while to consider aspects of safety; at the plant, equipment, component and personal levels.
Troubleshooting basics covers the systematic approach to information gathering, fault diagnosis and decision-making. Emphasis is placed on gathering relevant information and using it to prove where the fault isn’t; thereby eliminating false decisions and “red herrings”.
Having implemented the right solution, we then look at how to learn from the experience and prevent a recurrence.
‘First level’ troubleshooting will help inlocalising the faulty module or sub-system and narrow it down to a set of possible

components. The 'advanced' chapters will covermoredetails/expertlevelinvestigationand will address the component level and, more importantly, a validation of the decision taken at the first level trouble-shooting; verifying if it requires a component change - incorrect decisions at this stage having significant cost implications.
Taking the case of an apparent PLC fault, the first level trouble-shooting can eliminate the PLC from the actual fault condition and pin-point the section of plant where the real fault may be located; typically a range of 5 to 10 components. The advanced section will focus more on tracing faults to the final component and might require using more sophisticatedequipment,and/ordebugging.The point is that if the PLC programming was correctly commissioned, it will not be the cause of the problem.
Similarly, first line motor faults can be related to individual motors, drive circuitry, relays, switches, etc. The advanced trouble-shooting will cover tracing the fault to the specific IC or other drive component, such as a thyristor or fuse. In some cases, a re-calibration of the drive might also be required.
The assumption here is that most faults can be traced to fuses, misaligned components,
loose connections, etc wrong. This can be addressed by first line troubleshooting. If the fault goes beyond this and is caused by a faulty component, it needs to be verified by a person with more expertise. Rarely is incorrect configuration or malfunctional coding the actual problem.
Emphasis is placed on the diagnostician’s dependence on accurate drawings and documentation and the need to be able to correctly interpret the facts contained in drawings and documentation.
Clients often feel the same way about these problems; where components are being replaced more on an ad-hoc basis, so causing unnecessary wastage and plant down-time.
Delegates will be encouraged to bring typical troubleshooting problems to the workshop and to discover a more cost-effective way of resolving their problems, thereby saving them time, whilst saving their plant from unnecessary wastage and down-time.
Pre-requisites A basic working knowledge of industrial electrical, instrumentation and communications applications is useful.

The Program
This two-day workshop concentrates on awareness level training for managers, engineers and technicians in the practical application of hazard and operability studies (known as HAZOP). HAZOP is widely usedfor identifying hazards in an industrial process and for assessing the potential consequences where there are risks of harm to persons, the environment or to assets.
The HAZOP technique is recommended byprofessional engineering institutions, government regulators and insurance companies and is one of the principle risk management tools. HAZOP is applied atboth the design stage and throughout the life of a process plant, where it supports the safety management and (where applicable) the validation of the plant safety case. HAZOPisalsoanessentialtechniquewhenreviewing modifications and upgrades to existing plant.
This workshop introduces the basics of the HAZOP technique and discusses itsrelationship with other safety (risk) management tools. HAZOP can be appliedto any process industry, onshore or offshore, including oil and gas, mining, chemical or other processing industries. The relationship betweenHAZOPandotherriskmanagementtechniquessuchasHAZID,hazardanalysis,FMEA, fault tree analysis and the Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) of instrumented systems will also be demonstrated. This workshop will be of interest to a variety of managers and to most engineering disciplines.
Workshop examples include the design of new process plant and modifications to existing process plant. It involves the study of process flow-sheets and Process and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs). Hazard studies interact closely with process design and safety engineering solutions in the critical stages of engineering projects.Understanding these interactions assistsengineers and technicians to plan their work efficiently and to contribute effectively to the reduction of risks in the workplace.

The Program
SCADA has traditionally meant a window into the process of a plant or gathering of data from devices in the field, but now the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business and using it in real time. The emphasis today, is on using open standards such as communication protocols (egDNP3,MODBUS,andTCP/IP)and‘off-the-shelf’ hardware, such as industrial Ethernet to keep the costs down. This comprehensive two day workshop covers the essentials of SCADA systems. The topics covered on the two days are as follows:
day one gives an introduction to SCADA systems then focuses on the SCADA system hardware and software, including alarm management and Human Management Interface (HMI) issues. This is followed by a review of the RS-232/RS-485 interfacestandards and the MODBUS and DNP3protocols.
day Two gives a review of Industrial Ethernet ,TCP/IPandMODBUS/TCP.TheroleofOpenProcess Control (OPC) in plant SCADA systems is also discussed. This is followed by discussion of network security, SCADA historians and troubleshooting issues.
This workshop will be an excellent opportunity to network with your peers as well as gain significant new information and techniquesforyournextSCADAproject.
Although the emphasis of the workshop will be on practical industry topics highlighting recent developments using case studies and the latest application of SCADA technologies the fundamentals of SCADA systems will be covered. The workshop is aimed at those who want to be updated on the latest developments in SCADA systems and want to get a solid appreciation of the fundamentals of SCADA design, installation and troubleshooting. The comprehensive workshop manual covers other topics for your reference, including Fieldbus systems, maintenance, system specification, installation and commissioning issues.

The Program
Machine vision has progressed in leaps and bounds since the disappointments in the eighties with tremendous results achievable today. Nowadays, machine vision systems are highly effective and a key part of many industrial systems ranging from mineral processing to manufacturing. The fundamentals of image processing and machine vision are covered in the beginning to give everyone a solid foundation to work from. The workshop commences with an examination of optics and lighting - as the experts say - machine vision is easy if you can get a good image into the system.
You will be shown how to select and design lighting to achieve the best contrast. The selection of cameras, frame grabbers and vision appliances are next covered in practical detail. Finally, you will be shown how to select and integrate all the varying components into a professional and working system.
The workshop will be presented with minimal use of mathematics and extensive use of practical concepts and applications. There will be extensive use of practical hands-on exercises ranging initially from illustrating the key concepts of image processing to setting up a complete working machine vision system. This experiential hands-on approach will ensure that you maximise your learning experience on this workshop.
However, despite the advances in technology don't expect your machine vision to have the versatility and brilliance of a human…yet. But if you apply the key concepts in this workshop to your machine vision application, you should have a reliable and effective solution.

The Program
In today's environment, the processing, refining and petrochemical business is becoming more and more competitive and every plant manager is looking for the best quality products at minimum operating and investment costs. The traditional PID loop is used frequently for much of the process control requirements of a typical plant. However there are many drawbacks in using these, including excessive dead time which can make the PID loop very difficult (or indeed impossible) to apply.
Advanced Process Control (APC) is thus essential today in the modern plant. Small differences in process parameters can have large effects on profitability; get it right and profits continue to grow; get it wrong and there are major losses. Many applications ofAPC have pay back times well below one year. APC does require a detailed knowledge of the plant to design a working system and continual follow up along the life of the plant to ensure it is working optimally. Considerable attention also needs to be given to the interface to the operators to ensure that they can apply these new technologies effectively as well.
Pre-requisites Basic electrical concepts are necessary and it is strongly advised that students attend the IDC “Practical Process Control” class before attendingthis‘advanced’course.

The Program
The workshop on fiscal metering is for engineers and technicians who require a practical knowledge of selection, installation and commissioning of fiscal metering.
A clear understanding of fundamentals and concepts of fiscal metering and its commercial implications is an important factor in an efficient implementation of fiscal metering system. You can only achieve excellent and reliable fiscal metering when your field instrumentation provides the correct information.
It is for those primarily involved in achieving effective results for the industrial processes they are responsible for. This would involve the design, specification and implementation of control and measurement equipment. The workshop focuses on practical applications, with special attention to installation considerations and application limitations when selecting or installing different measurement or control instruments for fiscal metering.
Training MethodologyThe latest educational methods and strategies will be employed. The workshop is designed to maximise delegate benefit from theoutset.Questionsareencouragedthroughout. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the presenter and others, specific problems and appropriate solutions. All delegates take away a detailed and comprehensive copy of the material presented, therefore minimal note taking is encouraged to ensure maximum delegate participation and attention. Practical hands-on training ensures knowledge retention.
Pre-requisitesNo specialist knowledge or skills are required – only a technical background sothat there is an understanding for such factors as the difference between pressure and force. In fact this workshop is a good introduction to someone who has had no dealings with relief valves in the past as well as an important refresher course for control valvespecialistswhobenefitfromtheback–to-basics approach.

Have you ever wondered about getting a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of instrumentation, automation and control; thus allowing you to do work and perform simple tasks in the area? The current challenges presented by the world economy mean that automation is more critical than ever before.
This workshop represents a tremendous opportunity to grab expertise in all the key areas of the fast growing area of industrial automation. Presented by an expert in the area but who is obsessed with getting the key chunks of know-how and expertise across to you in simple understandable bits which you can immediately apply to your job. This is most definitely not a boringlecture style presentation but an intensive learning experience where you will walk away with real skills as a result of the hands-on practical exercises, calculations, case studies and group sessions to ensure across the board take up and understanding of the theoretical concepts and ideas discussed. Delegates are provided with these practical sessions at approximately 20 to 30 minute intervals to maximise the absorption rate.
The topics covered commence with a solid introduction to instrumentation and measurement ranging from pressure, level, temperature and flow devices. There is a formal review of process control including the all important topic of PID loop tuning and good practice in setting up your own system. There is also focus on valves with a review of the different valves and operating characteristics. SCADA and PLC systems are covered with an examination of both hardware and software, supplemented by writing your own PLC program. The all important topic of industrial data communication networks are also examined. Finally, the course is rounded off with a hands-on review of reading and interpreting simple plant documentation such as P&ID’s so that you can see and understand the operation of the plant in your mind through the documentation.
The workshop is all presented in easy to understand practical English. All you need to benefit from this workshop is a basic understanding of mathematics and electrical theory. Contact us for comprehensive pre-course reading and preparation if you are unsure about your level of understanding.
It is not an in-depth workshop but one covering a wide range of topics in industrial automation to give you an overview and practical understanding of the key concepts. Nevertheless, a lot of material is covered, with the intent to give you an overview and practical understanding of the concepts and equipment, and how they all come together to create an efficient and safe control environment in instrumentation, process control, SCADA, PLC’s and control valves.

The Program
SCADA has traditionally meant a window into theprocessofaplantand /oramethodofgathering of data from devices in the field. Today, the focus is on integrating this process data into the actual business, and using it in real time. In addition to this, today's emphasis is on using Open Standards, such as communication protocols (eg. IEC 60870, DNP3andTCP/IP)and'off-the-shelf'hardwareand software, as well as focusing on keeping the costs down. PLCs continue to gain in popularity. This comprehensive workshop covers the essentials of SCADA and PLC systems, which are often used in close association with each other. A selection of case studies are used to illustrate the key concepts with examples of real world working SCADA and PLC systems in the water, electrical and processing industries. This workshop will be an excellent opportunity to network with your peers, as well as to gain significant new information and techniques foryournextSCADA/PLCproject.
Although the emphasis of the workshop will be on practical industry topics highlighting recent developments, using case studies, the latest application of SCADA, PLC technologies and fundamentals will be covered. The workshop is aimed at those who want to be updated on the latest developments in SCADA and PLC systems and want to get a solid appreciation of the fundamentals of their design, installation and troubleshooting. You will benefit by gaining practical up-to-date information on the application of PLC and SCADA systems to the automation and process control industries. It is suitable for people who have little or no exposure to PLCs, but expect to become involved in some or all aspects of PLC and SCADA installation.

The Program
The objective of this workshop is to help you troubleshoot, and identify, prevent and fixcommon PLC and SCADA problems. The emphasis is on practical hard hitting information that goes beyond typical theory, focusing unerringly on providing you with the necessary skills to solve your problems whether it is a PLC, SCADA system, or indeed communications system linking the two together. The automation system on your plant underpins your entire operation. It is thus critical that you have the knowledge and tools to quickly identify and fix problems as they occur to ensure you have a safe, secure and productive system. No compromise is obviously possible here. This workshop distils all the tips and tricks learnt over many years.
The first step in PLC troubleshooting is to decide if the problem is internal to the processor or intheI/Osystem.Experienceshowsthatmorethan80%ofallPLCmalfunctionscomebacktoproblemswithI/Omodulesorfieldequipment(orindeedwiring).ProblemsthatcanbetracedbacktoanI/Omodule(andspecificinput)orusuallyexternalfieldcomponents;whilstinternalPLC problems often result in large scale failure or erratic behaviour on the part of the PLC.
The content of the workshop brings everyone up to date by briefly reviewing PLC and SCADA systems and then examining in a logical step-by-step fashion with hands-on exercises (both PLCs and simulation software to get to the problems quickly) PLCs and SCADA systems. The key industrial communications problems are briefly covered.

The Program
This workshop is focussed 100% on flowfrom process control, tuning, flow instrumentation, control valves to fiscal metering. An introduction is given to the complete flow control system and methods of tuning flow loops followed by an examination of the different flow instruments with an emphasis on typical real-world applications. Close attention is given to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting and installing different flow instruments.
It is claimed that the majority of controlvalves installed have not been correctly sized and that large numbers also operate in manual mode. We thus focus on the correct method of sizing and selecting a flow control valve. The course is rounded off by an examination of fiscal metering with a simple introduction to what can be a complex but criticalsubjectinvolvingrevenuesofmillionsof dollars.
Mathematical theory has been kept to a minimum and the focus is on practical design, installation, commissioning, troubleshooting and maintenance issues all focussed entirely on flow issues.

The Program
The topics covered commence on day one with an introduction to instrumentation and measurement ranging from pressure, level, temperature and flow devices followed by a review of process control including the all important topic of PID loop tuning. Day two is occupied with PLC and SCADA systems where the important topic of industrial data communication networks are also examined –again fromaverysimpleunderstandablepoint of view. Finally, the workshop is rounded off with a hands-on review of reading and interpreting simple plant documentation such as P&IDs so that you can see and understand the operation of the plant through the documentation. You will leave this workshop with a strong under standing of the key concepts in instrumentation, process control, SCADA and PLCs.
Pre-requisitesThe workshop is presented in easy to understand practical language. All you need to benefit from this workshop is a very basic understanding of mathematics and some electrical theory. Contact us for comprehensive pre-course reading and preparation if you are unsure about your level of understanding.

The Program
A Building Automation System (BAS) is a computerised intelligent network of electronic devices that is used to control and monitor the mechanical, lighting and security systems in a building. It is sometimes referred to as an intelligent building system. It is most often used for control of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. A BAS can result in a dramatic reduction in building energy and maintenance costs. Building automation systems can also monitor other parameters such as temperature, air pollution levels, fire alarm status and building integrity. Most of the underlying networks underpinning a BAS comprise a primary and secondary bus which connect high-level controllers with lower level devices which interface to the digitalandanaloginput/outputs.
After an initial overview of the topic, the first day of the workshop covers controllers, industrial networks, lighting, air handlers, water systems and the central plant. The second day provides you with a solid understanding of heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) and the associated electrical systems. You will also be exposed to alarms and security, room automation and the vital topic of energy efficiency. The workshop is concluded with the interesting topic of SCADA systems where all the building information is brought together. Throughout the workshop you will learn the essentials in installing, commissioning and troubleshooting individual components and systems.
The Workshop
Practical Sessions
We (and you) know that no matter how good the instructor is (and ours are very good!) no one learns from listening to a lecture. The best way of learning and gaining real skills is a high level of interaction with your peers and your instructor and also in undertaking hands-on exercises which relate to the real practical world. Hence we have a busy and enjoyable schedule of useful activities tohelp you really learn, including:
• 25short,punchyvideosonBAS
• 32 short, practical design exercises oneach topic using simulation software and calculators
• 4 case studies on operating andcommissioning a BAS where you will work in small groups to solve real electrical engineering problems
Please bring a calculator to get maximum benefit.

The Program
Today’s markets are extremely competitive and engineers are continuously engaged in a struggle to produce complex systems with a high level of reliability and performance, yet at a relatively low price. Much of this demand is brought about by the rapidly-evolving microprocessor technology. In order to survive in this highly-competitive environment, developers have to integrate several technologies.
Mechatronics is the answer to this dilemma. It is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and integrates several technologies such as mechanical subsystems, sensors, actuators, instrumentation subsystems, computers, microcontrollers, PLCs and software. It therefore provides the basis for the integration process, right from the earliest stages of the design process.
Mechatronics is the key to modern video and CD disk drives, camcorders, avionics, aircraft fly-by-wire, computerised fuel injection formotor vehicles, anti-lock braking systems, and smart weapons such as military drones used for aerial reconnaissance purposes. In the process automation field, mechatronics systems are also found in diverse applications such as smart conveyer lines and assembly-line robots.
As with Ethernet networking and wireless (Wi-Fi), the integration of technologies in engineering applications as embodied in mechatronics is upon us, and is here to stay. It is, furthermore, evolving at an exponential rate that will, in a decade from now, probably make some of today’s technologies look like museum artefacts. This makes it almost mandatory for everyone in the engineering world to become familiar with the underlying principles and technologies embodied in mechatronics.

The Program
There is a growing shortage, and hence opportunity, for instrumentation technicians, technologists and engineers in the oil and gas industry. This is due to an increasing need for higher technology methods of obtaining and processing oil and gas as it is a finite declining resource. The price of oil is heading upwards steadily, thus making personnel and their associated oil and gas expertise in these industries even more valuable. The technical challenges of extracting oil and gas are becoming ever more demanding, with increasing emphasis on more marginal fields and previously inaccessible zones such as deep oceans, Polar regions, Falkland Islands and Greenland. The aim of this program is to provide you with core Instrumentation engineering skills to enhance your career, and to benefit your firm.
This workshop provides a whole spectrum of activities ranging from basic instrumentation engineering to advanced practice including hazardous areas, data communications along with a vast array instrumentation equipment utilised in an oil and gas environment as well as practical treatment of instrumentation within the oil, gas, petrochemical and offshore industries. Whilst there is some theory this is used in a practical context giving you the necessary tools to ensure that the instrumentation hardware is delivering the results intended. No matter whether you are a new instrumentation or control technician/technologist/graduate engineer or indeed,even a practising facilities engineer, you will find this course beneficial in improving your understanding, skills and knowledge. This is a 3-day intensive workshop, covering considerable material. If you are looking for a far higher level of knowledge and competencies, you can undertake our 18 month in-depth Advanced Diploma in Oil and Gas (E&I).

The Program
Older (‘legacy’) substation automationprotocols and hardware/softwarearchitectures provided basic functionality for power system automation, and were designed to accommodate the technical limitations of the technologies available at the time. However, in recent years there have been vast improvements in technology, especially on the networking side. This has opened the door for dramatic improvements in the approach to power system automation in substations.
The latest developments in networking such as high-speed, deterministic, redundant Ethernet, as well as other technologies including TCP/IP, high-speed Wide AreaNetworks and high-performance embedded processors, are providing capabilities that could hardly be imagined when most legacy substation automation protocols were designed.
IEC61850 is a part of the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57) architecture for electric power systems. It is an important new international standard for substation automation, and it will have a significant impact on how electric power systems are designed and built in future. The model-driven approach of IEC61850 is an innovative approach and requires a new way of thinking about substation automation. This will result in significant improvements in the costs and performance of electric power systems.
This workshop provides comprehensive coverage of IEC 61850 and will provide you with the tools and knowledge to tackle your next substation automation project withconfidence.
Pre-requisitesA basic working knowledge of data communications in general, or some exposure to Ethernet andTCP/IP, would beuseful but is not essential.

The Program
This workshop provides you with an understanding of the hazards involved in using electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. This refresher workshop is suitable for you if you have a good understanding of the requirements for electrical equipment in hazardous areas (if not; contact us for further suggestions). It is based on the international IEC60079 series of standards that are now replacing many of the older national standards. Installation utilising Explosion-Protected (Ex) equipment can be expensive to design, install and operate. The wider approaches described in these standards can significantly reduce costs whilst maintaining plant safety.
The associated terminology and its correct use are explained throughout the workshop. It covers area classification, selection of explosion protected electrical apparatus as well as describing how protection is achieved and maintained in line with these international requirements. Standards require that engineering staff and their management are trained effectively and safely in hazardous areas and this workshop is designed to help fulfil that need.

Practical Sessions
This is a practical, hands on workshop enabling you to work through practical exercises which reinforce the concepts discussed. The practical sessions will comprise exercises in which you will solve typical practical problems in groups. Videos of the key concepts will also be provided. There will be two assignments where you will test your knowledge gained during the one day workshop.
To gain full value from this workshop, please bring your laptop/notebook
computer.
The International Standard IEC 60079.14 (Electrical Equipment for explosive atmospheres) requires that the design, construction, maintenance, testing and inspection of installations covered by these standards shall be carried out only by competent persons. The competent person’s training must include instruction and experience on the various types of protection and installation practices, relevant rules and regulations and on the general principles of area classification.
It is a requirement of this standard that appropriate continuing training shall be undertaken on a regular basis; as the standards and regulations are constantly being modified and improved.
You will receive a IDC Technologies Certificate after successful completion of the training materials and training assignments. The instructor will assist you in successfully completing this one-day course.
In conclusion, it should be noted that no training course provider can confer any level of competence on an engineer, technician or tradesperson. The IECEx competence scheme is aimed at personal competence; but does not absolve the employer from responsibility in assessing competence in the workplace (under the requirements of ATEX).
The IEC 60079 Requirements
Note: Hazardous Area Classification will only focus on zones and divisions. Details will be provided on where the IECEx standards can be found. In addition, the IEC 60079.10 is there for a detailed review; but is outside the scope of this intensive one day session. ATEX is not required in Australia and many other countries (but is naturally critical in Europe).

noTe: Hazardous Area Classification will only focus on zones and divisions. Details will be provided on where the IECEx standards can be found. In addition, the IEC 60079.10 is there for a detailed review; but is outside the scope of this intensive one day session. ATEX is not required in Australia and many other countries (but is naturally critical in Europe). Hence, ATEX compliance marking needs to be understood because it appears on many products. The ATEX Equipment Category equates to the equipment protection level concept and the significanceofgas/dustuseetc. In theUKmanyinstallationshaveequipment installedtoBS5345 and that includes BS889 and 229 equipment. We also have other BS and EN's that require explanation in context so we believe that, whilst explaining the principles, the differences in application and standards will need to be included for the country in which the course is delivered (naturally related to the particular interests of the course participants).

This is four hard hitting days of intensive training, the instrumentation and control master series has proved an outstanding success. It delivers a critical blend of knowledge and skills, covering technology in control and instrumentation, industry analysis and forecasts, leadership and management – everything that is relevant to a modern control andinstrumentation engineer. You will be exposed to four high impact days where you will hear from an outstanding expert and undertake practical hands-on sessions and exercises.
A key element of the master series is the ongoing case study conducted throughout the four days that pitches the delegates (in teams of four each) against each other in the design costing of a state-of-the-art plant. The case study is exciting, intense, useful and fun. You will however require every ounce of ingenuity to come up with control and instrumentation solutions appropriate to the design of this process plant.

The Program
This intensive workshop is aimed at assisting you – the engineer and technician workingwith the DMS in applying an integrated approach to maintaining, troubleshooting and programming the OPLC units. The OPLC (Operator Interface Programmable Logic Controller) operates in the same way as a normal PLC but has a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) incorporated in to the front panel. The V120 OPLC incorporates 10 digital inputs 2 analogue inputs and 6 relay outputs. By means of the use of an extender module, further inputs can be input to the OPLC. This is done through an IO-ATC8 which allows the connection of eight 4-20 mA input channels. The OPLC is programmed using a Windows based ladder logic. This ladder logic programs the manner in which the OPLC scans the inputs, processes the data collected from the inputs, then produces outputs by either switching on relays, or displaying text or graphics on the LCD display.
Pre-requisitesA basic electrical knowledge would be useful but is not essential and some background in working with Allen Bradley PLC-5’s and SLC-500’s.

Most engineering professionals working with drives will confirm that there are major benefits in installing and maintaining mechanical drives correctly. Typical areas which can be dramatically improved include: less wear and tear on equipment; minimal unscheduled downtime and production losses and improved operating efficiencies. .
The workshop has been designed to examine most mechanical drives such as belts, chains, gears in terms of improved lubrication, proper alignment and fastening techniques. Finally, there is detailed coverage of troubleshooting techniques so that you can identify symptoms of failure well before the event and thus correct the problem.

As the process plants have got bigger, themachines have become larger in terms oftheir power ratings and complexity.At thesametime,thedemandforefficientoperationand higher availability of these machineshasbeenontheriseandthisinturnhasledto the adoption of modern maintenancestrategiesandpracticesby the industry,sothattheseobjectivesmaybeachieved.
Condition Monitoring of equipment is onebestpracticethathasprovenitselfovertheyears. It isnowconsideredan integralpartof an effective plant asset managementstrategy. Condition monitoring of plantequipmentcomprisesof
• Mechanicalhealthmonitoring
• Performancemonitoring
The former includes techniques such asvibration analysis, oil and wear particleanalysis, thermography, ultrasonics andothers.
Performancemonitoringon theotherhandis the thermodynamic and hydraulicevaluationoftheequipment.Thistechniquedeterminestheefficiencywithwhichenergyconversionsoccurintheequipment.
Performance calculations enable thecomputation of energy requirements ofequipments. This helps in benchmarkingtheirperformance.Incasegapsarenoticed,this technique has the ability to trouble-shoot equipment problems. It can alsoindicate equipment problems that may notbenormallydetectedbymechanicalhealthmonitoring.Whenused together, theyhelpprovideefficientoperationoftheequipmentandathigheravailabilitylevels.
Anotherutilityoftheperformancemonitoringtechnique is that the same theory andconcepts can be employed in the sizing,selectionand re-ratingof theequipment. Itthusbecomesausefultoolespeciallyduringtheprocessofevaluationoftechnicalbids.

• Principlesofoperation
• Thermodynamic and hydraulicevaluation
• Important performance parameters andselectionconsiderations
• Methods to derive the above from firstprinciplesandempiricalrelationships
• Handlinggasandgasmixtureproperties
• Interpretationofresults
The course includes a large number ofpractical examples that help to learn andclarify the concepts. These can then bereadilyappliedtorealmachinesinplants,toevaluate their present performance,benchmark with rated values and analysethe causes for the gaps. Additionally,examples involving sizing and selection oftheequipmentarealsoincluded.

The Program
Hose design and construction is a verytechnical and precise science. Properselection and sizing of hoses and alliedfittingsiscriticaltoensuringtheefficiencyofa hydraulic system. Good installation androuting practices not only enhance systemperformanceandefficiencybutalsoprovidesufficient safeguards under conditions ofextreme pressure and temperature. Propermaterial selection is vital to ensuring longservicelifeofthehoseandalsogoesalongway in minimizing the possibility ofprematurehosefailures.
It is also important to strictly adhere tosafetyconsiderations,whiledecidingonthetype of hose to be used in a particularapplication. Hose condition in general canbe effectively monitored through theimplementation of timely maintenancepractices. In the event that any failuresymptomsareidentified,remedialmeasuresmust be undertaken well in time, ifcatastrophicfailuresaretobeprevented.
Pre-requisites No specialist knowledge or skills arerequired – only a technical background sothatthereisabasicunderstandingofvariouscomponentscomprisingahydraulicsystemand for such factors as the differencebetweenpressureandforce.
Infactthiscourseisagoodintroductiontosomeone who has had no dealings withhoses in the past as well as an importantrefresher course for hydraulic systemspecialists who benefit from the back–to-basicsapproach.

The Program
Finance courses are among the mostfrequently requested by engineers andtechnical professionals. One reason israpidly advancing technology, increasingproject complexity and competitivepressuresplaceenormousdemandsonyoutodothebestpossiblecostestimationandeconomic evaluation of your engineeringprojects, products and services. Secondly,peoplewishtocommunicateeffectivelywithfinance personnel and in the board room,butdon'tunderstandthelanguage.
Financeis,infact,uncomplicated.Themainproblem is that accountants (as with otherspecialists in their fields) communicateusing a language that has much topic-specified jargon. In today's world financialdecisions are coming under increasingscrutiny. It is essential therefore that youhaveenough informationtomakeeffectivechoices and to drive your engineeringprojectsforwardwithsoundjustifications.
This course commences with the basics offinancepertinenttoengineersandtechnicalprofessionals.Basicaccountingandfinancetermsareexplained in simpleEnglishwithan emphasis on the engineering andtechnology world. Cash flow concepts arediscussed and the issue of makingappropriate investment decisions isexamined, using such techniques as NPVand IRR. Finally, capital budgeting and riskare discussed in an easy-to-understandmanner.
Thisiscertainlynotanadvancedcourse,butone aimed at providing you with thefundamentals of Financial Managementfromapracticalengineeringandtechnologyperspective.

The Program
More and more engineering and technicalprofessionals are making career transitionsfromproductdesignintoprojectmanagement.This,however,requiresformaltrainingandawillingnesstolearnnewskills.Allthetechnicalknow-how in the world will not deliver aproject successfully, without proper projectmanagement skills. Unfortunately very fewengineeringprofessionalshaveanydegreeofformal project management training, whichresults in a great deal of personal stress aswellascostblowoutsandotherwoes.
Toaddressthisproblem,theworkshopwillfocusonthecriticalprojectrelatedactivitiessuch as work breakdown, scheduling, costcontrol and risk management, and showhowthesecanbeperformedwithsoftwareto lighten the project manager's workload.The 'soft' (but equally important) aspectssuch as team leadership and contract lawarealsocoveredindetail.All topicswillbesupplemented with practical exercisesfocussingprimarilyontheareasofelectrical/electronic (including instrumentation) andmechanicalengineering.Ifdelegateswishtodoso,theycanchoosesmallprojectsfromtheir work environment as a basis for thepracticalexercises.

The Program
The engineering leadership workshop is acomprehensive, highly practical andinteractive two-day course. The programbegins with an introduction to thefundamentals of leadership and helps onedistinguish the leadership for engineersfromother forms.The changingparadigmsfromengineer to leaderarealsodiscussedin depth. The discussion underlines theimportance of personal leadership and thesubsequent transition to being leader ofpeople. Related tasks such as setting ofgoals, time management and life balancearecoveredindetailandtheirsignificanceinregard to personal leadership adequatelyemphasised.Adiscussiononthepersonalitytraitsandleadershipinfluenceofexceptionalleaders is included so that one mayunderstandhowleadershipskillscanbeputtoactualpractice.
In order to deliver on the key areas ofleadership,aleaderneedstounderstandthedominant behavioral styles in people.Thishelps inunderstandingone’sstrengthsandweaknessesand to identifyandalign theminaccordancewiththerelevantrolesandinbuilding a team. Communication skillsconvey one’s ability to communicate amessage effectively and this includes bothquestioning and listening skills. During theworkshopofthediscussiononewillnotonlyget to know and understand the basiccommunication tools and strategies, butalso know how the power of rapport andconstructive feedback could be utilised foreffectivecommunication.
Another key area associated withengineering leadership is conflictmanagement.This refers to the ability toreduceandresolveconflict,byapplyingtheappropriate conflict management style asdemanded by the situation.The workshopprovides a detailed account of the conflictcausesandthevariousconflictmanagementstyles that can be applied in a particularsituation.
Agoodleadermustpossessamplecreativityandproblemsolvingskills,inordertoarriveat or facilitate creative solutions to resolveconflict or to remove obstacles. Thisdiscussion covers the various aspects ofproblem solving and facilitation skills andhow best to employ them in leadershipmanagement.Coachingreferstotheabilityto help someone clarify for himself hiscurrent reality, the motivation for movingfrom this current reality to the desiredoutcomeandtheoptions thatareavailableto accomplish this.The discussion focusesadequately on the coaching models to beadoptedforgrowth,withparticularemphasison performance centered coaching. It alsohelpsclarifycoachingareasthatenablethecoachtoholdthecoacheeaccountableandto also monitor and evaluate his/herprogress.
Another advantage associated with thisworkshop is the numerous practicalexamplesfromactualprojectsthatareusedextensively to illustrate the principles anddrive home the point. You will also beprovidedwithahighqualitycoursemanualfromIDCthatwillserveasusefulreferenceformanyyearstocome.

The Program
Construction is the largest industry in theworldandallstructuresneedtobedesignedfirst. Structural engineering deals with theanalysis and design aspects required toensure a safe, functional and economicalstructure.
During the design process the designerconstantly interacts with specialists such asarchitects and operational managers. Oncethe design is has been finalised, theimplementationrequiresadditionalpeopletohandle aspects such as statutory approvals,planning, quality assurance and materialprocurement. The entire exercise can beundertaken in highly-coordinated way onlyifallparticipantsfullyunderstandthe‘projectlanguage’. However, in order to understandthis language, it isnecessary to firsthaveathoroughgraspoftheprinciplesofstructuralanalysisanddesign.
