The Essentials of Industrial Control System Engineering

The soul of the plant business operations, the core system that drive the function of safety and controls of the plant, and also the central of the financial performance accountability of the custody transfer operations of the plant, it is the Industrial Control System, abbreviated to ICS, that has this critical functionality to ensure the plant operations keep on its best performance.

ICS itself consist of several system entities that each of them has correlation to the other system. DCS, SCADA and PLC, are commonly known as the process control platform, while DMC is operate on top them as the additional system that can help to meet the tight end product specification, meanwhile SIS is being used for the safety system that perform independently from process control to ensure the safety window operations for the entire plant, at the last system is flow computer as the measurement system mainly for the custody transfer application emphasize as the financial point of sales.

This training goal is to develop good understanding and fundamental knowledge regarding the ICS environment (Process Instrumentation, Communication Framework, DCS, SIS, SCADA, PLC, DMC and Flow Computer).
