automated systems are working for the Measurement & Control of Process Elements

like Temperature, Pressure, Flow and level etc… in Production Process . These

Measurement and Control are achieved by Process Instruments like Transmitter,

Transistor, Transducer, Control Valves, Solenoid Valves, and Micro Processors etc...

For Construction and Erection of new plants and Maintenance , Calibration , Onsite

Maintenance/Troubleshoot of existing plants plenty of vacancies of Instrumentation

Professional arising very year, but there are no sufficient professionals are available to

fulfill the vacancies for the present and immediate future as per the current scenario. All

Industrial Plants have Instruments like Turbines, Compressors, Pumps, and

Generators etc…. and they are controlled by Computerized Programs . These

computerized systems are working on many of the hardware like PLC and Industrial

Software like SCADA, Lab View, VDF and DCS etc…. All the hardware and software

are released from its manufactures with empty programming. The Automation

Engineers in the plant is creating programs according to the

needs of Industry. There are huge opportunities in all over the

world to Create, Run and Maintenance/Troubleshoot of these

Controlling Program s in Industrial Software .

Type of Industries:

Petrochemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Fertilizers, Plast ics, Pulp and Paper, Oil and

Gas, Refineries, Aerospace, Alcoholic Beverages, Al ternative Energy Production,

Automobiles, Aviation, Beverage, Cement,

Chemical & Related Manufacturing, Dairy, Electric

power, Electronics Manufacturing, Energy, Food

Industry, Natural Gas Pipelines, Renewable

Energy, Semiconductor, Steel & Iron, Textiles

etc…..

Job Opportunities of this course:

The students passing out from SIIT with International Certificates can enter into

career as Junior Automation Engineer or Instrumentation Engineer and can grow

up into the hierarchy of Shift Engineer , Site Engineer , Plant

Engineer , and Project Engineer and Plant Manager and to

highest and reputed position of Project Manager in International

Companies all over the world as well as National Companies.

There remuneration and other perks may be in International

Standard according to their individual skills.

PLC/ Automation Lab

The PLC lab of SIIT contains Multiple Workstations equipped with Computers , PLC

units and other Interfacing Devices to train

students how to program and upload Ladder Logic

Code . Students’ program ladder logic code using

the RSLogix software, which provides a graphical

interface representing conditional computer

programming functions such as if/else statements.

The primary objective of the PLC lab is to familiarize students with how signals from

Input Devices (i.e. switches , sensors , etc.) can interface with PLC units in order to

invoke certain actions (i.e. start/stop an electric motor, turn on a light, etc.). A PLC

functions similar to the computer. A computer processes input (i.e. keyboard entries,

sounds from microphones, etc.) and invokes a certain output (i.e. showing the letter you

typed on the screen, sending a request through the internet, etc.). Similarly, a PLC unit

processes input and invoke output, but the inputs to a PLC unit are usually devices such

as sensors, buttons, switches, etc. The outputs are usually signaling to start/stop

motors, turn on/off lights, sound a horn, etc. The lab is based on the International

Brands Allen Bradley , Siemens , Honeywell , ABB and Omron etc… of Programmable

Logic Controllers, which are widely used in factories and other settings.

SCADA

SCADA stands for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. It is not a full control

system, but it focuses on the supervisory level .SCADA is a purely software package

which positioned on the top of hardware to which it is interfaced, in general through

Programmable Logic Controllers(PLCs) or any other hardware modules. SCADA can

be used for Monitoring and Controlling the Plant or Equipments. The control may be

automatic and sometimes initiated by operator commands. The primary interface for an

operator is a graphical display usually through

computer screen. The updating in Parameters

in the field will be reflected or updated in

computer screen. For Monitoring the situations

in Plants the Operators or Engineers must

have knowledge about SCADA software and

its controls.

Variable Frequency Drive [VFD]

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of Motor Controller that drives an Electric

Motor by varying the Frequency and Voltage supplied to the Electric Motor. Frequency

(or hertz) is directly related to the Motor’s Speed (RPMs). If an application does not

require an Electric Motor to run at full speed, the VFD can be used to ramp down the

Frequency and Voltage to meet the requirements of the Electric

Motor’s load. As the application’s motor speed requirements

change, the VFD can simply turn up or down the motor speed to

meet the speed requirement. A VFD controls the speed of an AC

Motor, which provides flexibility to the process since Speed can be changed easily for

Process Optimization. Optimizing Motor Control Systems by installing or upgrading to

VFDs can reduce energy consumption in facility by as much as 70%. Additionally, the

utilization of VFDs improves product quality, and reduces production costs. VFD may

enhance the user’s profitability by improving the process, which in turn produces a fast

Return On Investment (ROI).VFD’s are used in Mechanical Field for controlling the

5

Pump Control Systems and also it is used in Electrical and Instrumentation fields. So

now a-days engineers need to have awareness about the use and working of VFDs.

LabVIEW

LabVIEW is a highly productive development environment for creating custom

applications that interact with Real-World Data or Signals in fields such as science and

engineering. It is a software development environment that contains numerous

components, several of which are required for any type of test, Measurement, or Control

Application. It can be used for acquiring Data and Processing Signals, Instrument

Control, Automatic Test and Validation System, Embedded

Monitoring and Control Systems etc. So students with technical

background have an extra advantage if they have knowledge in

latest design software like LabVIEW.

Instrumentation Lab

Instrumentation Lab in SIIT is capable of providing Practical Training in Pressure

Gauge to modern Smart Transmitters . The Lab of SIIT is well equipped and capable

of imparting training for the Operation and Maintenance of various Measurements &

Control Systems of the Industrial Parameters like Pressure, Temperature, Flow, Level,

Vibration, Conductivity etc. and the Final Control Systems like Control Valve, the

Control Systems of DCS/PLC/SCADA etc.

Instruments

The familiarity with the imported Instruments imparts the work experience equivalent to

long term apprenticeship in modern industries, during the training period itself.

Therefore the students become capable of working as experienced persons

immediately on completion of the course.

Difference from others…

Other institutes including Engineering Colleges use

just mere Training Kits fitted in demonstration

boards manufactured by companies in their

6

practical labs and they have no live relation with

real instruments using in Industrial Plants, but in

SIIT we use only Real Plant Process Instruments

for Practical Section to students, they are

obtained from Real Industrial Working Plants , so

they are real instruments than mere training kits.

1. This uniqueness makes SIIT’s students also unique in Practical Knowledge.

2. This Uniqueness highly helps SIIT’s students to score marks job interviews in both

Theoretical Viva and Practical Test, because they are familiar with Real Process Control

Instruments.

3. This Uniqueness helps SIIT’s students to easily be simulate with working atmosphere

immediately on entering into job in any type of sophisticated plant without anybody’s

help, because they are already familiar with the Real Industrial Instruments in SIIT Lab

and Operational Working Mini Plants of SIIT.

Two Operational Working Mini Plants

The major attraction of SIIT Lab is the PLC Controlled Working Mini Plants [2 Mini

Plants] with Pressure , Temperature , Flow and Level Control Loops in operation.

They are equipped with five Control Valves , seven Electronic Transmitters , Solenoid

Valves and other Process Control /Measuring Instruments . Students use the facility

for On-Site Calibration of Transmitters & Control Valves, Loop Checking, PID Control

Tuning, Instrument Tubing Practice and Cable Glanding & Termination Practice and to

have a Plant Overview in general.
