In this automation-focused course, you will learn the basic concepts and details of Pressure, Flow, Temperature, and Level. Each of these will be explained using multiple technologies for measuring. An introduction of Smart Instruments (HART) and benefits will be taught.


This course will also review: 
• Piping and Instrumentation Drawing symbols and schematics 
• Process library options for operator interface and system controller 
• Industrial signals, scaling, and integration into process control systems 
• Section on control valves and implementation considerations 
• PID loop theory
• Hands-on labs using SMC's fully integrated process cart
