This 4-day course (5th day is designated to write the CAT II exam; course 2022EX) complies with Category II Vibration Analyst per ISO standard 18436-2: Vibration condition monitoring and diagnostics. Category II vibration analysts are expected to be able to select appropriate vibration measurement techniques, set up instruments for basic resolution of amplitude, frequency, and time, perform basic spectrum analysis, maintain a database of results and trends, perform single-channel impact tests, classify, interpret, and evaluate test results in accordance with applicable specifications and standards, recommend minor corrective actions, and understand basic single plane field balancing concepts.

This 4-day lecture/lab course provides maximum hands-on experience working with FOUNDATION™ fieldbus instruments such as: the FIELDVUE® Digital Valve Controller, Rosemount Pressure and Temperature Transmitters. The student will use the DeltaV control system to commission fieldbus devices, assign foundation fieldbus function blocks to field devices, troubleshoot using diagnostics and AMS Device Manager to manipulate device parameters.

During the 4.5 day course, the student will be able to define system capabilities, define nodes, configure continuous and sequential control strategies, create process alarms, operate the system, troubleshoot the system and modify operator displays using the DeltaV Live Operator Interface introduced with DeltaV Version 14.3. This course includes access to a virtual DeltaV system to practice and review course workshops complete with brief recorded demonstrations available after course completion.
