COURSE OVERVIEW:

The stability and efficiency of modern industrial operations depend entirely on the reliability of electrical control circuits and their associated monitoring infrastructure. This course provides an in-depth technical exploration of the logic and hardware that govern automated systems, focusing on the synergy between electromechanical components and digital controllers. Participants will explore the design principles of control loops and the communication protocols that allow monitoring systems to provide real-time data for decision-making.

The scope of this training addresses the full spectrum of control technologies, ranging from traditional hard-wired relay logic to advanced programmable logic controllers and distributed control systems. It covers the technical nuances of sensor integration, signal conditioning, and the implementation of fail-safe mechanisms to protect both personnel and equipment. The curriculum provides a systematic focus on the architecture of monitoring systems, emphasizing how diagnostic data is captured, analyzed, and visualized to ensure optimal system performance.

Coverage includes the interpretation of complex control schematics and the application of troubleshooting methodologies for identifying faults in high-stakes environments. Attendees will learn to manage the integration of Variable Frequency Drives and soft starters into the wider control network to optimize motor performance. By combining theoretical control theory with hands-on diagnostic strategies, the course equips professionals with the expertise required to maintain and optimize the sophisticated control systems found in utility and manufacturing sectors.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Explain the fundamental principles of open-loop and closed-loop control.
• Identify and troubleshoot components of electromagnetic control circuits.
• Analyze the operation of relays, contactors, and timing devices.
• Interpret complex control schematics and ladder logic diagrams.
• Implement effective sensor and transducer integration for monitoring.
• Configure Programmable Logic Controllers for basic industrial tasks.
• Manage the communication between field devices and the control room.
• Troubleshoot faults in motor control circuits and interlocking logic.
• Utilize SCADA systems for real-time monitoring and data logging.
• Apply safety protocols for working on energized control systems.
• Optimize the settings of VFDs and soft starters for efficiency.
• Design basic monitoring dashboards for asset health tracking.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Control Technicians, Electrical Engineers, Plant Operators, and Maintenance Supervisors responsible for automated industrial systems.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
