what kind of material do you need? If you need any general material, i am not sure. However, we have to go through the Honeywell / Emerson / Yokogawa system manuals to learn the systems.
I can tell you what to look for in these books. The basic break up for any control system will be:
1. Introduction / Overview to the control system.... Specific to the manufacturer. (I can provide you the Honeywell book).
2. Planning Stage ---- types of Networks (Fault Tolerant Ethernet / Modbus / Fieldbus / Profibus etc), types of Servers (Databse Server, Server, Historian Server,OPC Server, third party server etc), types of Operator Stations, Domain controller, Types of Interfacing ----- OPC / SCADA etc.
3. Design Stage ---- Design of networks, network configuration, system configuration etc. It includes the interfacing philosophy with safety Systems also.
4. Engineering ---- IO Database, Marshalling loading, IO load / power calculations / FF segment loading calculations / control strategies required / control narrative. Also graphics (inclduingstatic graphics heirarchy), dynamic linking, face plates, alarms, alarm groups, events, trends, history, configuration of assets etc.
5. Testing - Software / Hardware testing --- Involves FACTORY ACCEPTANCE TEST, SITE ACCEPTANCE TEST. --- This stage calls for a lot of approved templates for testing / programming / validation etc.
6. Most important from End User Perspective ---- Systems security planning, data protection (backup planning, disaster management & recovery) etc.
If you need further info, please let me know.
Also if the forum wishes, i can prepare excellent presentations (animated videos) & post them on the forum.
