PS-AC102: Decoding Control System Certifications - Unlocking Reliability & Performance
Course Title: Decoding Control System Certifications - Unlocking Reliability & Performance
Professional Development Hours (PDH): 2.0
Delivery Format: Live Virtual (via Microsoft Teams)
Level: Beginner
Duration: 2 hours
Cost: $199 per person
Course Overview
Do the cryptic markings on your control system components leave you wondering about their true capabilities? Are you seeking clarity on whether your system can genuinely withstand unexpected process upsets or even environmental extremes?
This focused Micro-Seminar dives deep into the world of control system certifications and product accreditation. We'll demystify the "curious markings" you find on your equipment, revealing how these certifications demonstrate adherence to rigorous international design and testing standards. Understand the profound impact these accreditations have on a control system's ability to navigate process anomalies, from minor fluctuations to major events.
Explore crucial questions like: Can a Safety Integrity Level (SIL) rated control system truly offer superior resilience against a lightning storm compared to a Basic Process Control System (BPCS)? We'll highlight how accepting control system components with proper certifications significantly increases the probability of uninterrupted operation, even when faced with challenging conditions. While some manufacturers wisely choose not to "redesign the wheel" when it comes to proven standards, understanding these certifications is vital for making informed decisions that go beyond mere assumptions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Interpret and understand the meaning behind various certification markings on control system products.
Discern the level of testing and adherence to international standards indicated by product accreditations.
Evaluate how component certifications contribute to system resilience against process anomalies.
Recognize the implications of certification standards on system installation requirements.
Identify specific compliance needs, such as marine compliance, relevant to their industry.
Course Modules
Module 1: The Language of Certifications
What product accreditation signifies: Designed and/or tested to international standards.
Understanding the "plus" of standards testing levels for system performance.
The "minus": Why installation must adhere strictly to test standards.
Module 2: Integrity in Action
The role of certifications in system robustness and riding through process anomalies.
Case study: SIL-rated systems vs. BPCS in extreme conditions (e.g., lightning storms).
Manufacturer practices: When "not redesigning the wheel" benefits you.
Module 3: Specialized Compliance & Application
Exploring specific compliance needs (e.g., Marine Compliance).
How certification directly impacts the suitability of a system for a specific project.
