What you'll learn
Explain DCS architecture — controllers, I/O, redundancy and networks — and where a DCS fits versus PLC and SCADA
Specify DCS I/O, signal conditioning and marshalling for a control system design
Orient quickly across Honeywell, Emerson, ABB and Yokogawa platforms
Configure PID loops and select the correct controller modes and tuning approach
Build advanced control strategies — cascade, ratio, feedforward and override
Configure control modules and function blocks and structure the DCS database
Design high-performance HMI graphics to ISA-101 for situation awareness
Rationalise and manage alarms to ISA-18.2 and EEMUA 191
Plan a DCS engineering workflow from database build and bulk engineering through FAT
Run loop checks, SAT and commissioning activities on a DCS
Manage DCS operations — backups, patching and lifecycle — through the plant's life
Design and document an applied DCS control strategy as a section project
Requirements
A background in C&I, control, automation or electrical engineering is assumed
Familiarity with P&IDs, control loops and basic process plant equipment
This is a practitioner-level course, not a first introduction to control
No specific DCS software or vendor licence is required to follow the material
A willingness to think through a control strategy from sensor to final element
