ISA Into To Ins Nov 2014

A PRACTICAL INTRODUCTION TO
INSTRUMENTATION AND AUTOMATION

Presented by the ISA Montreal Section
The ISA Montreal Section in collaboration with Vanier College will be
offering a practical 15 hr workshop that will provide hands-on training
in the field of instrumentation and automation, suitable for
practitioners already in the field and for those just starting in the field.
This three-evening and one-Saturday workshop is an exciting and
practical introduction to the field of instrumentation and automation.
The workshop includes a full-day practical hands-on lab component
that complements the learning process. The lab will provide practical
experience in instrumentation and automation, such as process
control and PID tuning, as well as PLC programming of a pneumatic
automated system.
Lecturers with years of experience in the field present the
fundamental concepts, complemented with case studies from
practitioners in the field.
You will receive a comprehensive, fully illustrated course reference
manual that complements the optional text book.
Who Should Attend
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
What is automation and process control? Terms, concepts,

diagrams and symbols
The PID controller: its purpose and function. PID control in

industrial applications.
Temperature, pressure, level and flow concepts, measurement and

control.
PID tuning techniques and procedures.
PLC control: input-output devices; Latching and sequencing.
Application of a PLC in automating motor control and pneumatic

systems. Write, test, and verify a typical PLC program.
Converting a relay control system to a PLC controlled system.
Troubleshooting instrumentation loops.
Overview of HMI, SCADA, and DCS systems.
Anyone whom is presently working in or

would like to work in the exciting and
expanding field of instrumentation and
automation to gain practical knowledge of
the key elements of industrial
instrumentation and automation to
improve their work skills and to further
their job prospects:
Sales personnel
Maintenance Engineers and
Supervisors
Energy Management Consultants
Design Engineers
Project Managers
Consulting Engineers
Production Managers
Chemical and Mechanical Engineers
Instrumentation and Process Control
Technicians
Even those who are highly experienced in

industrial instrumentation and automation
may find it useful to gain some hands-on
know-how in a concentrated but practical
format.

assignments, will receive a ISA
Montreal Certificate in
Instrumentation and Automation

control. Types of automatic control systems. Difference between
manual and automatic control. Relationships between inputs,
decisions, and output of a control system.
Evening 2 (Friday March 18th) - Introduction to
Instrumentation
Process Control: Introduction to process variables (temperature,
pressure, flow, and level). The PID controller: its purpose and
function. A global picture of the universal system of sense-decideact. An introduction to ISA-5.1 and other related standards.
Day 3 (Saturday March 19th) Two half-day lab sessions
Sequential Control: Operation of a programmable
logic controller (PLC); Input-output devices; Latching
and sequencing; Writing a ladder logic program for
Process Control: Process monitoring; Open- and

closed-loop response; Set-up and calibration of realtime process monitoring; Set-up and calibration of a
a typical PLC; Demonstration of the use of PLC in

automated pneumatic system.
typical process controller; Demonstration of

temperature control using PID control.
Evening 4 (Monday March 21st) Review

Review of what was learned; Topics for further studies; How to use the comprehensive, fully illustrated text
book, Fundamentals of Industrial Control, 2nd Edition; How ISA Montreal can help you further.
The course is based on the new updated edition of a best-selling classic,

Fundamentals of Industrial Control (Practical Guides to Measurements and
Control). This book is largely written by fellow automation professionals from the
ISA Montreal Section. Students have found the book to be a valuable reference
source for years to come.
The text provides a unique balance between theory and practical applications,
covering every major control system element, from sensors to final control
elements, in the context of overall control strategies and system design.
Contributing experts give time-tested, practical advice on the application of each
system element.
This second edition provides updates on a range of topics, including Internet
communications, industrial communications network hardware and software, open systems, wireless
networks, enterprise computing, and computer and control system security. Other sections introduce the
new generation of distributed controls and digital automation systems and present migration strategies for
expanding and upgrading existing systems. Practical issues such as the use of standards and sound
documentation for project management are emphasized throughout.
Chapters include Sensors; Analyzers; Process and Process Control; Final Control Elements; Computer
Technology; Control System Theory; Analog and Digital Control Devices; Distributed Control Systems;
Programmable Controllers; Ergonomics, Human Factors, and Safety Aspects; Systems Application and
Engineering Practices.
As a bonus, the book comes with the full text and graphics on a CDROM so that you can have access, not
only from your bookshelf, but also from your PC or PDA for ultimate convenience.
