Process Control Troubleshooting 1 Flex


Course number : 8700009    ID : 67719    Program Code : 001:FlexFA26

« back to classes page
When a level loop stops holding setpoint, the cause could be the sensor, the transmitter, the I/P converter, the valve, the controller, or the tuning. Guessing is expensive, and swapping parts until the symptom disappears is how a short outage turns into a long one. Troubleshooting is the discipline of narrowing the fault down in a deliberate order until the real problem is the only one left.

This course builds that skill for level and flow process control applications. You will apply process control troubleshooting safety procedures, then work component by component: pressure-type liquid level sensors, analog flow sensors and flow transmitters including paddlewheel types, pneumatic proportional valves, I/P converters, diaphragm-actuator valves, and loop controllers. From there you will move to systems-level methods and troubleshoot an on/off liquid level control system, a closed-loop liquid level control system, and a closed-loop flow control system as complete loops.

This course prepares you to test for the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) C-274 Process Control Troubleshooting 1 certification.

Notice

Please read: 

FLEX FORMAT: This course is offered in Hawkeye's Flex format at the second floor of the Automation and Robotics Center (ARC). Flex is competency-based and a flipped classroom: you complete the theory in the Learning Management System (LMS) online on your own schedule, then come to the ARC open lab to practice and demonstrate hands-on skills on the matching industrial trainers. You advance by demonstrating skill mastery of each competency, not seat time. Flex lab nights are Monday–Thursday, 5:00–9:00 pm, with an instructor and lab assistant on duty; the lab is also open for independent work Monday–Thursday from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm, and Fridays 8:00 am–4:00 pm. The subject-matter expert for this course is scheduled for Monday night; plan to attend that night each week for in-depth help and hands-on competency testing. Rolling enrollment: start any week. Refer to your registration form or class details for the timeline to complete the course from your start date. This course aligns with the C-274 Process Control Troubleshooting 1 micro-credential. The course fee includes two attempts at the SACA Silver (knowledge) exam and one attempt at the SACA Gold (hands-on) exam, administered at the ARC.

 

DEVICE AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS: The online portion of this course uses a Learning Management System (LMS). Click for minimum device requirements to access LMS! Students without a qualifying device may borrow a Hawkeye laptop by requesting the Laptop Checkout Form; the student is responsible for repair or replacement costs if the laptop is damaged, lost, or stolen. Safety glasses (one pair provided) and closed-toe shoes are required at all times in the ARC lab.
