TPN Tools for System Optimization

Are you responsible for optimizing the performance of your site’s LCN and UCN? Are you looking to better understand and utilize PERFMENU and the standard system displays?  In this four-hour session you will obtain an overview of the tools needed to improve and optimize overall LCN and UCN performance.  You will become familiar with the issues that affect performance by utilizing tools such as the PERFMENU and standard system displays for analysis and troubleshooting.

OPC on Experion

The MatrikonOPC training session is broken up into four (4) topics covering OPC technology. Each topic is one hour long and is designed with a short presentation that will be followed by a Question and Answer period for that presentation’s topic.  The four (4) topics are:

  • The Basics of OPC - this section provides attendees with a clear, easy to understand introduction to OPC technology and includes practical examples of how OPC is implemented.
  • Understanding OPC within Experion (PKS) - this section provides attendees with a clear, easy to understand introduction to OPC technology within the Experion (PKS) environment.
  • Do’s and Don’ts of OPC - OPC is an essential tool for industrial communication, but it may not always be the perfect fit for a project.  This webcast provides a look at the critical factors that must be understood when considering OPC. 
  • OPC Unified Architecture - this section provides attendees with an overview to the new OPC Unified Architecture Specification and how it differs from “classic OPC”.

Power and Grounding – Best Practices

Proper power and grounding are essential for operation of any distributed control system.  Not only does power and grounding affect the operation of the control system, personnel safety may also be affected if guidelines are not followed.

This two-hour session will provide best engineering practices and guidelines to help facilitate the correct installation of process control systems. The content will cover “Power-On-Support and Typical Grounding Issues” in non-intrinsically safe areas for the following:

·         Process Manager systems

·         TDC systems

·         Experion systems

Alarm Rationalization & Changing the Board Operators Interaction with Alarms

Based on the Rationalization section of the ISA SP18.2 Alarm Management Standard, this session looks at not only the proper approach to rationalize alarms but also the impact it has on the board operator and change in behavior required to keep your process in its desired operating envelop and the intervention required when your process starts to go beyond design limits. This session uses real data to practically apply the theories taught in this course.

Cyber Security Workshop

The Industrial Cyber Security Controls (ICSC) Workshop is a half-day program designed for anyone in the process industries who needs to establish a cyber security program. The workshop explores the practical challenges of designing, implementing and managing a security program.  The ICSC workshop runs through the high-level strategy for a complete program—from assessing a facility’s current status to identifying its ideal status, and the process of planning, measuring, executing and managing a security program.

The ICSC workshop draws on lessons learned and insights gained from extensive experience working with customers to establish cyber security compliance programs in a broad range of process control industries.  Security experts will share lessons learned and lead discussion on key topics, including program rationale, benchmarking and evaluation, program design and execution strategy, and security program management.

Participants of the ICSC workshop will benefit from a greater understanding in the following areas:

·         The ability to identify security goals, assess current security state, make informed decisions, execute project plans, and maintain security goals

·         An understanding of how to apply proven security solutions for automating significant portions of day-to-day compliance-related tasks

·         An introduction to compliance management concepts and suggested tools for tracking and demonstrating compliance, including data verification

In addition, participants will be provided with the following as a take-away from the workshop:

·         Technology, People, and Processes Chart

·         RASCI Matrix

·         Data Collection Software

·         Data Parsing Software

·         Sample network topology drawings
