Description
This Level I course provides detailed Valmet DNA
configuration knowledge. An overview of the system
architecture will be presented along with a detailed
study of how loops and graphic displays are created
and deployed using our configuration engineering tools.
Each student has a dedicated Engineering Activity
Server they will use to get hands-on experience
creating control loops for a live demo skid in the
classroom. The student will make a graphic display from
which to test the functionality of their loops on the live
process.
Use of appropriate CAD and XML based configuration
tools will be demonstrated and then applied by the learner.
Topics covered:
-Autoinfo Database
-Display hierarchy
-Alarm displays
-Process and system events
-Naming conventions
-Applying automation language concepts
-Creating and editing functional block diagrams and process graphic displays
-Creating and generating trend displays
-Working with and understanding system modules
-Using Function Testing Tool to examine process logic
-Working with the Windows environment
-Creating project hardware documentation
-Using diagnostics to assess system operations
-Applying the function blocks of the operator and process stations
-Using the configuration engineering environment interface function explorer
-Engineering Activity Server concepts
