Instrumentation Technicians work in many sectors including oil and gas, mining, minerals processing and associated industries.
This PID (proportional integral derivative) skill set will equip you with the skills needed for the set up, adjustment and tuning of control loops. While it is highly recommended that you have completed UEE40411 Certifcate IV in Electrical (Instrumentation) prior to doing this skill set, it is possible to enrol in both concurrently and NMT will help you manage the order of completion of subjects so that you can achieve the pre-requisite units before commencing this PID program.
Some of the courses on the list can be done completely online. However some of the courses require a practical component which can't be done online, or some may be a mix of online and face-to-face learning. We’ll let you know what's required for your course. For a full list of online courses, please use the filters under the Refine course results menu.
- Understand PID algorithms
- Investigate different technisues used to loop tune in flow levele, temperature and cascade tuning
I have the following attributes:
- Good maths skills
- Good analytical skills
- Keen to work with instrumentation
As it is expected that most students will already be employed in the industry, the course is delivered in a combination of online theory and lab based skills to minimise time spent away from work. The theory and assignment component can be completed online in your own time while the skill component is to be undertaken in our industry relevant lab at our Midland campus over the course of approximately one week. This can be done during the day or on some week day evenings.
Intrumentation Technician in oil & gas, mining, minerals processing
This is a specialist skill set although we do offer associated training in areas such as variable speed drives and robotics.
