This instructor-led course will help you increase plant availability and effectiveness by making familiar Windows Administration requirements and key I/A Series system tools and configurators. It will also help you protect plant intellectual assets from security threats and minimize the impact of unforeseen system outages through the usage of proper setup, backup, and restoration of I/A Series workstations. This course will also outline the basic steps needed to setup and install the mesh network. You will be able to complete the full install process for both new and updated configuration changes. You will learn to view and modify files that affect the operation of your I/A Series workstation. You will be able to control access to key plant variables in graphic displays. You will also learn how to use windows and I/A system utilities to access, change, and diagnose system and process variables using available documentation to complete tasks.

This instructor-led workshop will help you increase plant availability and reliability by providing an understanding of the tools and key concepts used the selection, configuration and support of the  I/A series MESH network. MESH Definitions and topologies will be discussed along with the usage of the  Internet Protocol Suite (commonly known as TCP/IP)  in the MESH. Additional topics discussed are the used of virtual LANs, commonly known as a VLAN, the  I/A Series COMEX (communication executive) and WMI.  Participants will also be introduced to the Invensys Switch configuration tool used for switch diagnostics and repair and the Enterasys NetSight console used for verifying network health and network diagnostics.

This instructor-led course will help establish plant consistency of methods and applications by enabling plant engineering personnel to understand the underlying components of the Foxboro A² Automation system. Through classroom instruction and lab exercises you will fault find, diagnose and design a Foxboro A² Automation system.

New and emerging technologies along with evolving best practices are driving a demand among many process manufacturers for information on how to best leverage current trends.  In response to this need, Invensys Process Systems has designed a series of no-fee online seminars (Webinars) to share the wealth of knowledge and experience that exists within our broad portfolio of automation solutions.Our unique Asset Performance Management approach focuses on maximizing the economic value of all the assets in your enterprise and we believe that the most valuable assets are people.  The single most untapped resource in manufacturing enterprises is the intellectual property in the people and we recognize the value in those who are responsible for keeping the operation running at peak performance.  Let us help empower you so you can help drive better performance.  So, grab a cup of coffee, call from virtually anywhere, log-in, listen, and learn! It's that easy. We'll do the rest

Webinar Summary:Poor process control is responsible for the loss of millions of dollars each month. This webinar will cover the fundamental steps needed to properly identify and quantify opportunities for improving the economic performance of process control systems. Topics covered in this opening webinar will include data collection, loss categories, opportunity evaluation, and optimization procedures. Before a control modernization project is started identify the areas where benefits can be achieved to guide the project focus & establish a sound basis for a post audit
