In this seminar the participants will learn about system identification for process control. Using the techniques learned the participants can build models of their processes and use them for either advanced process control or for tuning a PID loop
Applications of Industrial Wireless Systems (SP25C)
This course concentrates on industrial wireless applications. Using the broad range of wireless applications such as video monitoring and security systems, asset tracking (which may rely on a multitude of wireless technologies), mobile operator needs (PDAs, tablet PCs), remote tank farm monitoring, wireless SCADA systems, Voice over wireless LAN, as well as the multitude of operational considerations associated with industrial wireless field transmitter for monitoring and even control systems are examined. The logical intersections with the plant
Introduction to Human Machine Interface (HMI) for Industrial Automation (EA20)
The human-machine interface (HMI) is the software application running in the operator consoles that permits operators to visualize the process. This course will provide an introduction to the primary aspects of HMI configuration: best practices in information presentation for process equipment, text, numbers, historical trends, and alarm information. Presentation of related on-demand information, including reports and links out to other documents will be covered. A basic overview of best practices in scripting will also be provided.
Designing and Applying Model Based Control Strategies (EC60)
You will leave this course with a practical understanding of designing and applying Model Based Control (MBC) strategies. You will learn the basic structure of all MBCs, the basic technology of Model Predictive Control (MPC), and how to successfully build and monitor controllers
Designing and Applying Model Predictive Control Strategies (EC60W1)
This course introduces model predictive control. The emphasis is on both the functionality of the technique as well as the economic benefits that can be obtained by its use. The participant should be able to build a simple controller after this course.
Grounding in Instrumentation Systems (TI21W1)
This seminar covers grounding requirements, concepts, and applications in measurement and control areas. Terminologies, types of grounding systems, and shielding relevant to grounding are areas emphasized.
CSE PE Exam Review Part 3: Measurement II (EN00W3)
This is the third of six seminars focused on the Control Systems Engineer (CSE) PE examination. It will give you a quick review of the base primary measurements of flow, level and temperature. The topics include units of measurement, sensor types, transmitter fundamentals, selection considerations and applications. The correct installation considerations are also reviewed.

Wireless Networking of Sensors and Instrumentation: Applications and Techniques (SP25W)
The use of wireless communications is spreading from personal use to the industrial sensing environment. But not all sensor types or designs are optimal for wireless transmission of sensor and/or control information. Questions regarding critical issues such as data security, the robustness of the wireless link, and integration of wireless and tethered sensors must be addressed.
CSE PE Exam Review Part 4: Control Systems Theory and Implementation (EN00W4)
This is the fourth of six seminars focusing on the Control Systems Engineer (CSE) PE examination. It will give you a quick overview of the most likely exam topics in control loops, methods of loop documentation, various loop types, characteristics of control function, and some loop tuning principles. Controllers and their function are included in the application portion of the review. Some advanced control techniques are also surveyed.
