This two hour online course to provide guidelines for the development and use of instrument loop diagrams (Sheets) for the design, construction, start-up, operation, maintenance, and modification of Instrument & Control systems (I&C). It should help you to understand the reason that instrument loop diagram are of primary importance for the on going maintenance and calibration of Modern DCS (Distributed Control Systems) & SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisitioning) Systems. They improve communications among technical, non-technical, management, design, construction, operating, and maintenance personnel. The Loop Diagram is one of the most recognizable document used in the I&C field. In many cases it becomes the Instrument Technicians notebook for upgrades and changes. Loop Sheets (as many are called) give the tech important inside information to all the components in the system.
