Emerson extends PlantWeb to previously unreachable data for improved availability and operational performance.
The courses include concise information on basic SIS concepts, design and installation, operation and maintenance, safety standard compliance, and new 'smart' SIS technologies.
"Choosing and implementing a safety instrumented system is an important but often intimidating task for users," said Jane Lansing, vice president of marketing for Emerson Process Management.
"The SIS courses are designed to help users understand what goes into creating a reliable, affordable, standards-compliant safety instrumented system, so they have a head start on making the right decisions".
For example, as the process industries move to an integrated-loop approach to safety management, spanning the entire loop from sensor to logic-solver to final control element, the PlantWeb University courses can help students evaluate smart SIS technology as a way to attain the right level of safety at the lowest cost throughout the life of the plant.
As with all course offerings at Emerson's PlantWeb University, the eleven new SIS courses are free, easy to understand, and available to anyone.
Each takes about 15 minutes, and participants can learn at their own pace from anywhere there is an Internet connection.
Content is devoid of marketing hype and gives practical insights into the application of new technologies.
"Since its inception in 2002, PlantWeb University has provided practical, real-world information to over 20,000 industry users around the world," said Lansing.
"We're gratified that so many people have found the courses to be an objective and useful tool for learning how to improve process and business performance".
Emerson also offers in-depth training on safety instrumented systems and other process-management topics through its Educational Services group.
Educational Services courses are available online, at regional training centres, and in locally delivered classes around the globe. Request free introductory details about products from Emerson Process Management ...
