This course is for individuals responsible for evaluating or implementing Foundation fieldbus technology for process automation projects.

This 2-day course covers the practical implementation issues with Foundation fieldbus faced by design and project engineers familiar with 4-20mA DCS installations. Upon completion of the course the student will understand the basics of Fieldbus technology and be aware of areas that will change during project execution. The student will be able to design H1 Fieldbus segments specify equipment, comply with hazardous area requirements, modify current engineering practices, troubleshoot installations and estimate installed benefits for a project using Foundation Fieldbus. The course content is not vendor specific though DeltaV and Emerson Process Management  field devices are used for examples and demonstration purposes.

Prerequisites

Background in instrumentation & electrical engineering Automation Systems engineering, or project engineering.

Topics

• Introduction to FOUNDATION Fieldbus Technology
• Design of H1 Fieldbus Segments
• Hazardous Area Applications
• Project Engineering Practices Using Foundation Fieldbus
• Troubleshooting Foundation Fieldbus Installations
• Economic Benefits Compared to Traditional 4-20mA DCS Technology

The number of participants will be limited to two people per console to ensure sufficient practical work for all concerned.
