August 2001
Training & Education
IDC Technologies, the international provider of practical, technical training for engineers and technicians, will be running two workshops in South Africa in September 2001. These highly popular workshops are the new Practical Batch Management & Control (including S88) and Practical Electrical Network Automation & Communications Systems workshops.
Practical Batch Management & Control (including S88) is a highly practical two-day workshop that will teach attendees how to choose, design and manage an automated batch management control system. There will be nine practical sessions based on a typical process plant, beginning with a review of a basic overall P&I diagram working up to a complete batch control and management experience for the workshop participants.
Practical Electrical Network Automation & Communications Systems is an excellent two-day workshop which will give attendees the knowledge needed to effectively control, monitor and automate power distribution or transmission network, including: scada, substation automation, data communications, local and remote control, electrical interlocking, intelligent relays, realtime monitoring, communication protocols, disturbance recordings, sequence of event recordings, intelligent electronic devices and modern protection techniques.
Free pocket guides
IDC Technologies has released the third edition of its Engineers' Pocket guide. This guide has 420 pages full of up-to-date handy hints and technical information for engineers and technicians. They have been designed to serve as quick and easy reference books.
The usual retail price of this book is R119,95 plus VAT, but IDC is making them available for the price of postage.
