An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Process Control & Safeguarding
Instrumented System and Functional Safety
Course Overview
In the process control industry, safeguarding is an important priority, especially when it comes to the installation of safety equipment and systems. Even so, advances in technology (including, but not limited to aspects such as specialized Fieldbus) suggest that plants take a fresh look at their safety systems, and have become the driving force for the renewed approach of safeguarding a process control system.
This Process Control & Safeguarding training course covers the fundamentals of safety, and the major approaches for assuring system safety for process control, including an integrated and separate systems, Fieldbus solutions, intrinsic safety, functional safety, process control design solutions, SIS, safety alarms and various international standards.
This GLOMACS Process Control & Safeguarding training course will highlight:
- How traditional Fieldbus is inadequate for safety-related controls
- Existing safety systems that are ready to be used
- The current approach to a safe communication bus
- Checks and balances to meet safety requirements and protection
- How to share infrastructure between the safety bus and conventional communication channels
- All aspects of process control, where it is affected by safeguarding
