Course Details

Though there are differenct language formats to write program for different make PLC and DCS system but the basic things are common to have in mind programming a PLC and DCS.

One must have an idea of how to program a Digital inputs / Analog inputs / Drive / PID controller and other things and what are its interface and interlock words to program plant or process condition This course lets you learn the basic requirement of programming any signal / drive / PID contrller in a PLC and DCS system.

The course have been supplied with practical experience added, which author has encountered and one must have in mind whenever programming a fool proof logic.

PLC DCS Programming Basic Rules :

This video will teach you PLC programming and DCS pragramming basic rules. Not following PLC Programming, DCS programming rules may slow down PLC DCS controller while uploading and downloading program An Instrumentation Engineer must follow a standard system of PLC DCS programming or programming habits must be inculcated among instrumentation engineers so that control system can be efficient work, fault diagnosis become very fast and easy for control room operator to locate fault in alarm list itself. This video describes, with examples, some universal rules and precautions which an instrumentation engineer must take while programming

Difference between DCS PLC & Selection :

The video describes the difference between PLC Vs DCS and draws a line between the two for selection criteria while designing a new project. These days there is a very thin line difference between PLC and DCS. These two can replace each other as far as features are concerned. However, there are technical differences that still lie to make these two different. While discussing differences we will consider selection criteria when designing a new project.

How to Program Group Function Block :

This video describes "How a PLC DCS group function block is programmed in PLC and DCS"? There are instruments, equipment, or drives of common type or nature which are used in the process plant. These are monitored through centralized DCS or PLC Scada. Hence standard program function blocks are used rather than writing program repeatedly in the main program. These function blocks are scanned by common instruments or equipment repeatedly to execute logic. Here this video will cover and explains group function blocks and other function blocks will be covered consecutively in coming videos. if you have any queries or suggestion regarding this video you can post them in comment section
