"Basic Instrumentation and Control for Operator Awareness," which is a video training course designed for field and panel operators. The module is intended to move learners from a beginner to an intermediate level, focusing on instrumentation's role as the "eyes and ears" of the plant for safety and stability. The ten planned videos cover fundamental concepts, including the basic process variables (pressure, temperature, flow, and level) and the specific field instruments used to measure them. Key instructional areas include understanding signal types, control loops, and the critical differences between manual versus auto modes of operation, emphasizing the necessity of working with, not against, automated systems. Finally, the course concludes by instructing operators on the purpose of alarms, interlocks, and trips and detailing best practices for troubleshooting instrument problems and maintaining safe plant procedures.
