ABOUT THE COURSE

WHO SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE

Certificate IV in Electrical Instrumentation is for electricians who desire to upskill and learn more about instrumentation and work in the Process Industry such as Mining, Oil and Gas Manufacturing, Food Industry, etc.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Certificate IV in Electrical Instrumentation gives an understanding of the Calibration and Commissioning of Pressure, Level, Density, Flow and Temperature Transmitters. It allows you to connect transmitters to PLC and program a sequence to control them according to the logic in the Ladder diagram.

The following activities will be covered during the practical training:

  • Pressure Measurement Systems: Setting up, calibrating, and troubleshooting pressure measurement components and systems. Using various measuring devices to solve pressure measurement problems and applying calculations to predict issues.
  • Density/Level Measurement Systems: Setting up, calibrating, and troubleshooting density/level measuring components and systems. Using measuring devices to resolve problems and applying calculations for predictable solutions.
  • Flow Measurement Systems: Installing, calibrating, and solving flow measurement issues in process control systems. Using a range of measuring tools and techniques to predict and address flow-related problems.
  • Temperature Measurement Systems: Installing, calibrating, and troubleshooting temperature measurement components and systems. Using various devices and problem-solving methods to predict and resolve temperature measurement issues.
  • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) – Discrete Control Systems: Development, installation, and testing of PLC programs for systems requiring discrete control functions. This includes using ladder diagrams, statement lists, and function block diagrams, following written instructions, and documenting program development and testing activities.
  • Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) – Advanced Control Systems: Developing, installing, and testing PLC programs for industrial systems with advanced control functions. This involves using structured logic, applying high-level instructions, and documenting development and programming activities.
  • Using drawings, specifications, standards and equipment manuals applicable to installing, maintaining and fault-finding process controls.
