'Advanced Diploma in Industrial Automation' online
Building on a highly successful internet launch earlier this year, the IDC Advanced Diploma in Industrial Automation is now attracting enquiries for the last intake of 2008
This practical, intensive, two-day workshop explains the application concepts of Explosion Protection using Intrinsic Safety (IS or Ex).
This is with reference to British, European and International Standards for the certification and use of electrical 'apparatus' where electrical equipment is used in 'Potentially Flammable Atmospheres'.
The workshop covers IS as the preferred technique for instrumentation applied to industrial plant I/O in hazardous areas.
Engineers and technicians working in hazardous process control and instrumentation areas must have an understanding of the close integration between the safety and operational aspects of Intrinsic Safety (IS) as a protection technique in order to specify, design and maintain systems.
The workshop is designed to explain the theory of IS and its close integration with operational signal transfer.
Delegates will gain a greater understanding of IS loop concepts as a basis for working with measurement and control loops using standard and custom IS solutions.
Finally, the workshop looks at the accurate definition and application of the terminology - a skill necessary to communicate and document important safety details.
The instructor, Geoff Bottrill, is an expert having worked in the instrumentation, measurement and control fields for over twenty-five years, but specialising in Intrinsic Safety, Hazardous Areas and Instrumentation Drawings during the past fifteen.
