hello everyone welcome thank you for joining today I hope you're all safe and well my name is Riley and I'll be your host for this session um just before we get started I'd like to just go over a couple of things um and that is just to turn off your your notifications or sounds in the session and that is basically uh just to stop any pop-ups or sounds during the session which may impact on your viewing so you can do that now by just going to your settings um in the if you're on desktop it should be in your bottom right hand corner in my settings or if you're on mobile you might need to open the session menu and go to settings and untick all the boxes under notification settings and that will that will stop any pop-ups or sounds during the session so today's technical topic webinar is scattered display design based on abnormal situation management guidelines so that is our technical topic for today and it is being presented by two two of our lecturers here at EIT in the Industrial Automation field so Mr Santosh ananta Krishnan and Dr Ramon um so Santosh is an Electra with us and he's also working as a scada and RTS engineer and AK is a course coordinator and lecturer for the Industrial Automation engineering field at EIT now um for our webinars for our technical webinars you will receive a copy of the slides and a link to the video recording after the webinar usually within one business day we also offer a free digital certificate of attendance to those who would like one if you would like to receive a certificate of attendance please wait till the end of the session and there will be a link provided or a QR code to a short form or survey that you need to fill out in order to receive one and once you've completed that short survey I'll send you your certificate within the next business day now uh just a quick overview of EIT we are an engineering specialist education provider we have a range of courses such as short courses that we call Professional Certificate of Competency courses as well as diplomas Advanced diplomas and in the higher education space we have undergraduate and graduate certificates bachelors and master's degrees and a doctor of engineering um now we only we only uh offer engineering courses we're dedicated to uh to teaching engineering um so that's uh part of what makes us unique at EIT um we have industry oriented programs um so our programs are regularly updated to stay relevant with the industry we have um we have accredited education in Australia so all about vocational and higher ed degrees are registered and accredited by the Australian government but in addition to that we do have courses that are recognized by the international engineering s and you can check out our accreditation on our

expert lecturers we have dedicated dedicated learning support for our students and also state-of-the-art Technologies such as workshops remote labs and simulation software now the agenda for today um so I've just done the introduction uh then we're going to uh talk about what is abnormal situation management or ASM ASM guidelines in scada display design examples of ASM guidelines and displays and then finally we'll talk about studying Industrial Automation at EIT and some of our programs that we offer in this field and then we will hold a q a session at the end for those who may have any questions for any of us now I'll I'll hand over to Santosh now um who just briefly introduce himself and uh yeah thank you for being here today Santosh thank you um thank you Riley um happy New Year to everyone present um morning good afternoon good evening wherever uh whichever part of the world you are in um I've been an EIT uh uh lecturer I'm taking scada and distributed control system uh unit um I'm also a senior Emi engineer working for a company um which does high pressure gas pipeline and I've also worked as Escada and RTS engineer in my career so I've started professional engineer with over 15 years of experience in the field of Electrical Instrumentation and most importantly skada and control systems engineering I worked in also various spaces of the project like concept retail design commissioning through to um closeout and I have a strong passion to deliver all the projects in a safe uh safely and most importantly on quality cost and schedule uh in my experience I've configured many scada systems for hazard Industries like oil and gas and chemical plants I've developed quite a lot of operator displays incorporating um abnormal situation management guidelines I mean as a result I have seen that the operability of these facilities have been enhanced so um when I'm presenting let me see how much I can get my experience that I have gained over the years and see how I'll present those experience to you through my slides so that's a quick introduction about me um I'll now pass on to AK thank you so much Santosh hello everyone so my name is everyone uh calls me AKA easy to pronounce so I am basically the EIT course coordinator for Industrial Automation and also full-time lecturer AI at EIT for almost three years I did my uh PhD from sunburn University and I have almost 10 years of experience now in teaching electrical engineering Electronics engineering as well as Industrial Automation courses in Australia as well as in from over in overseas country like desh where I'm originally from I am currently a member of Engineers Australia and also a senior member of I Tripoli for the last couple of years now so I think I almost a couple of years now my PhD topic was on a task of loading algorithms on cloud robotics for industry 4.0 so as you can see Cloud robotics industry 4.0 by the multi-disciplinary area but also relevant to the topic at hand today and also in this gel automation that we'll talk about later on as well um yes and that's also my research area at the moment as well industrial iot Cloud robotics virtual manufacturing system and so on besides that I'm also currently the secretary for IEEE young professionals committee and actually the newly appointed secretary foreign Victoria as well so looking forward to the presentation today quite a relevant and interesting topic so I'll hand it back to Santosh uh all the best thank you AK all right so what are we seeing here is this it's a picture of a process plant right I think it's a gas processing and a compressor plant that's what that um plan should be from my experience so process plans produce like many products like we know that like in today's society which are like those products are used in like quite a lot in today's society like oil and gas or like fertilizers and Plastics so you know in a process plan there are like many process uh parameters right like that may lead to an abnormal situation um if they are not actually controlled um properly and in a Time effective manner so some some example of this uh process parameters like pressure like high pressure or temperature flow um toxic substances um they could be like a moving Machinery electricity and all that right so the key drawback of um such plant is their like operation involves risks right because the process parameters if they actually go into an abnormal or abnormal um Zone then there it might actually cause like a lot of risks so while these risks we can never actually bring it to zero they always the uh goal of the design of this process plant is to keep them as low as practically plausible so with that let me probably give you an um description of what an abnormal situation is right so abnormal situations are Underside plant disturbances or incidents with which the control system is not able to cope requiring a human to intervene to supplement the action of the control system um it could be a simple um upset where an operator can um like come in and he can fix that upset or it could gradually or drastically escalate to a critical incident where we probably require like um other systems like a safety systems uh to to be to get engaged right and then bring the process to our uh within the boundaries of its operation or it could even go even further that you kind of have to have an evacuation or or a rescue operation right so usually what happens is like a human error is uh blamed um and um a lot of companies spend a lot of um like engineering effort and dollars to increase the training so to provide solution to help the operators in ensuring that they take appropriate decisions and so that they can maintain the process within its band of operation so that is the job of the control room operator right like with the assistance of the operation team to identify whenever the process like deviates Beyond its boundaries and to determine what caused the situation uh what corrective action um that can be uh implemented uh so that um the process comes back within its boundary of operation like in a timely and in an effective manner so what we are seeing here like on the left of the side um it sends an example the picture is the left picture is an example of a multi uh multiple independent protection layer that can be used in a plant um as you can see that the process is at the center and there are various protection layers and each of the protection layer kind of reduces the overall risk that the the inherently that the process actually has the inner layer help prevent uh the Hazardous event from ever occurring so when you talk about the inner layer um it is the basic process control system then the alarms and operator intervention so that that layer is where we will be concentrating more on our discussion today because that's where uh scarred displays actually uh come into the picture and then there is there are safety instrumented system and then you kind of like have your physical protection example is a some relief device like a psvs uh followed by like a physical uh protection dikes or like a boundary valves or bundwell buns then plant emergency response and uh Community um emergency response so the inner layer help prevent the Hazardous even from occurring and they're called as the production layer and the outer layers are used to lessen the consequence of the hazard right even once you know like once the hazard has actually occurred right and they are referred to as the mitigation layer like if you think about the plant emergency and the community emergency response they target at less lessening the consequence of the hazard event so for example for a plant emergency let's assume that if there's a doctor in the plant so who can actually provide an immediate medical attention and they can save life right so um the organizations which are operating these high Hazard facilities will need to think about um having medical facilities within their plant um or if you think about Community emergency response um it could be like a fire service station which is very close to the plant and the event of a fire then they can come in and extinguish the fire and save any damages to the community so what this picture here depicts is the evolution of an abnormal situation um from some initial cause producing and operations upset to a catastrophic disaster like involving serious destruction or harm to the plant or the surrounding Community right so like you can see that the deviation from Target operating Rage or the y-axis and the modes um on the x-axis where kind of like if it is deviating and it is just a normal deviation um till the green zone it is it is still okay probably the um the control systems might come into the picture and it will try to get it within its operating region but as it starts to go into the yellow region that's where the process plants will start to see like increased cost there might be like a reduction in production or it might lead to off-spec product and finally within that Lo region we might probably see like there is no protection and Equipment damage right so that is is where the other layers of protection starts to come in right and then when it goes into that emergency mode that's where you kind of um like gone into that mitigation layer where there could be like loss of for life or fire or explosion or like other uh environmental um releases so in an abnormal um event sequence right the modes of the plant progress from normal to um like emergency and um like eventually like it could escalate to emergency right if there are any failures in the critical systems or operations or technical support activities uh that is very critical to maintain the process within its boundaries of operation or within its normal uh mode of operation so the critical systems are like the safety shutdown system the physical and the mechanical containment then there are like emergency um response uh response um layers um like which actually provide a safeguard to the plant in a catastrophic event so the role of the plant operator is very very critical in this like he has to like um identify the event and then he has to act on the event to prevent this process upset and eventually ensure that it doesn't escalate to either a plant shutdown or to a and like an abnormal or an emergency uh mode uh when the control system is actually given up hope and it cannot um do that control with that what we will be discussing in this webinar are the guidelines that can be used to build scada displays when an abnormal situation occurs right so it can help the operator to make appropriate decisions to control the process in a timely manner so that the production um can continue uh safely and like a and none of the modes other than like an abnormal or an emergency mode if the process happened to go into the Zone it can be actually successfully brought back into the uh normal Zone mode okay so what you are seeing here um these are are the 16 um categories of abnormal situation management like guideline categories um each of these uh categories uh they have their independent like guidelines like multiple guidelines under like each category and they and when you use these uh guidelines it will help you like um the designer to achieve the effective practice to build a scanner display so if I just quickly go through these categories um like starting from like the display types uh display content and task appropriate information um display style and layout navigation use of color use of symbol and process connection use of text and numbers right interaction with displays or alarm configuration schemes audible Annunciation of alarms visual Annunciation of alarms training program and online user assistance uh design methodology that can be used to build uh scada systems or displays and the management of sim so the critical point to be taken here is the implementation of the individual guideline in itself will not guarantee and improve effective Operations practice but together all of these guidelines will form an integrated program that will lead to like quite a lot of like Improvement so that is what is seen when these guidelines were actually implemented on process facilities so what I'll do today is I might probably not have the time to go through each of the points under each of those categories so I'll probably touch on some of the critical guideline under each of these categories so starting from the display types so the first guideline is use a process overview display right that kind of gives an operator a bigger picture and also helps them be aware of any problems within their plan the next one is use standard display hierarchy to represent multi-level views necessary for monitoring and control right so with a consistent display hierarchy operator will know where to find the information they need then use multi-level views based on Process Equipment hierarchy for monitoring and control right so with that he will be able to know where a particular Process Equipment is located within um the set of displays that he's got and which will help him in uh troubleshooting so and also make it easier for him to navigate between um the various uh displays to determine the root cause of the problem like um within his plant and the last one is like use dedicated display to support response to critical upset conditions so dedicated displays for critical upset conditions it will help to engage the operators in an appropriate mode of interaction right and I kind of like removes any noise from the operator so he can concentrate on the problem at hand and it will provide key information for handling these critical upsets so that the operator can act on those information right so what you are seeing here um is an example of an uh process overview display I think that's an nitric acid plant um it pretty much shows you um the raw material like coming in uh from the left and then uh like pretty much like a nitric acid being manufactured and uh sent out right so this kind of a display allows the operator to see the bigger picture and also maintain like awareness of potential problems within their control so that's an um the previous uh display they usually call it as a level one display and the second guideline that I'll discuss today under display types is the use dedicated display to support routine activities so what you are seeing here is like it's called as a level three display again it's in a nitric acid plant um it's our absorber so if the operator wants to like look at what is happening within the absorber how are the process parameters within the absorber are currently um doing then you can come into this display uh and he will be able to control the key process parameters like whether it is level or flow or pressure right so kind of this dedicated display especially for like the routine activity where the routine activity is for him to come and make sure that the absorber is functioning appropriately right um so this will provide him um it will engage the operator um so that he can interact with the process this will also rate chances of like mistakes or any uh misinterpretation so the next one that we will see um is uh the ASM guideline on display uh content right so the guideline is choose context sensitive techniques to access information that is conditionally relevant so context sensitive techniques allow the displays to change with the operator needs in this way the display can contain more information while showing only the needed information to the operator like it um not all times all information is required by the operator right like a like if you look at the example on the left uh he kind of like right click on a particular whistle and he can click on like show me the tag name of this object or show me the um the unit of this uh particular transmitter right where he doesn't need to know all the time and when he needs to know he can right click and bring that kind of information it can be also used to like acknowledge alarms right or call up a trend and what you can see on the second picture um like it gives you uh the operator and option to kind of have a lot of menus and he can click on that appropriate menu to um look at the information that he's after so what this kind of helps right is that we don't Cloud the display with so much information uh that the operator is like confused so you give the option to the operator for him to navigate or call up information when it is required for him okay so the next guideline uh is actually with the display style and then the guideline itself is ensure that the overall style incorporates an effective use of half incident intensity uh displays right so what is important is it's important to draw The Operators attention to the most informative part of the display right which is either the process value or the alarm and reduce their attention to objects that do not change like for example like equipment layout or like flow flow lines like if I'm working as an operator in a process plant and I have a display that looks like the one that on the left I might probably um resent my job right if I'm going to be it's a pain to look at the display day in and day out to actually control the um process plant whereas if you look on the right that is much more smoothening to the ice and there's a lot of good information that the operator can see so at the moment I know that this main fraction fractinator overhead process is running very well there is no alarms in it and I don't really have to um like to act upon it so right so that kind of like reduces all the visual noise to the operator so high contracts colors makes it very difficult to see process changes whereas the low contrast colors um makes process data more visible when people talk about ASM usually they say like a gay back down or like you use gray a lot it doesn't need to be like always gray it depends on the display design and that should be actually using the abnormal situation management guideline and how your organization and the operators in your organization um uh like I use that guideline for their benefit so the next one we will be seeing is the ASM guideline for display Style so the guideline itself is uh depict equipment without excessive detail to facilitate uh quick identification so I've got like a couple of pictures on there so the first one is um you got a blower right like you just got an impeller so that's kind of like an excessive detail to an operator he really doesn't need to know whether the impeller is rotating or not so what he needs to know is how it looks on the right side of the um picture with um which it says like if it's a with some color notation like a dark gray saying that it is running and the light gray saying that it is not running right so what this does is um you kind of you have to avoid representation of equipment object with more detail than necessary like I was on a graduate engineer many years ago and I used to take quite a lot of um like uh happiness and I feel proud whenever I animate this place like I I used to like uh seeing these impellers actually rotate right but then over the years um it was found that it is not going to add any value to the operator it is only going to be more of a distraction to the operator and um reducing uh the amount of um like The Unwanted information on a display actually Aid in better response for the operator so um and uh like having said that like equipment details need to be still um included um where it is required like for example uh your like instrumentation lines or like if you want to like include a pressure differential um across some trade right like you need to still show that that level of detail because that will be used for uh maintenance engineer or a maintenance operator who might look at the display or um or like um so it is very important to like remove uncertainty like or like in in the process flow connection so sometimes you might have to show the process flow connection so that people are uh The Operators are clear uh where the process flow comes and that level of information still needs to be included in the displays okay so the next guideline is about the design layout and develop consistent display layouts that are appropriate to process behaviors with a consistent direction of flow right so the the consistent direction of flow is a very critical one right like if you have a display that has got flows coming from Left Right top bottom uh top left corner top right corner it will confuse the operators uh to a great extent and especially when he's looking at the display during a abnormal situation trying to bring it within control um it's not going to help them at all so you need to have like consistency when building these displays like uh usually the process should go from left to right um yeah so the layout of this operating displays affects the ability of the operator to quickly identify any key process components and relationships right so that is very important so operators can locate information more quickly when the displays are done in a consistent way since they will know where to look at and this consistency it will decrease the time and the error in locating critical information and this time they can actually use to um act upon that process upset because before it kind of like um escalates right so the and also like when you develop uh displays you should have a consistent location for some of the common objects like display titles or navigation bar or the equipment labels so because being the consideration has to be given for information that needs to be viewed simultaneously to accomplish like critical monitoring and control tasks right so if you look at this display I can say mostly the flow is from left to right and they have used consistent symbols um for pumps for Regulators uh for um on on off valves the an alpha numeric which are representing the various process parameters that is all consistently shown so these are some of the important guideline that needs to be implemented in a display design okay so the next one um is the this is again on display layout ensure that layouts capitalize on maximizing operator uh retention of information in the memory all right so different layout can influence operators capability uh for retaining the fixed information all right so information that is related and grouped together in a way that shows the association or relationship will be easier to remember right uh to a display that is not having a proper grouping screen so if you look at the picture on the left the information is kind of like uh scattered and for an operator it might be difficult to locate that um information whereas um the picture on the right where the information is kind of like together so the operator will be able to quickly get his eyes to that information and can make meaningful decision so process where values can be like put inside um Process Equipment they can be put on on the side of the Process Equipment depends on like where the process value is but it needs to have that um consistency okay so the next one that we'll be seeing is the uh ASM guideline for uh navigation right ensure that navigation scheme is fairly uh simple and flat right um it is it should be like that more for um process plants which are like having multiple plants like I worked on a plant where there are uh three or uh four um processed plants in there right so if you look at the um top uh example for him to go from uh display uh which is in plant uh area one uh to a display in plant area like B he has to perform like six clicks before he can he can get there should be able to move very quickly between this place in an error-free Banner right um so a broad and a shallow display hierarchy will better support this requirement right so yeah and it will also not frustrate the operator in finding information uh if you have such an um uh like an hierarchy so the general rule is the operator should be able to get to an any display within like around three to four clicks so that is what we are actually seeing at the picture in the bottom of that slide where to go from uh the display a to uh which is in a one for one plant to a display B in another plant he clicks to the level one display and then he drills deeper to the level two display and then to the level three display and to the level flow display so kind of like in four clicks uh he will be able to get there and if it is implemented in a consistent way then he will not have any confusion on getting to the information and he will be able to do it in a timely Manner and also consideration should be given for like menus and uh buttons for a key displays for the operator to navigate like uh if he wants to quickly look at the status of a trip then he probably has got a button located like on a on a menu bar and he can click on it and quickly get there so he shouldn't be clicking multiple times to get to such a key information okay so the next one is uh use of minimum color uh codes uh consistently um across the uh displays so um consistent and distinguishable color codes like it allows operators to learn the um codes and their their meanings right so where if you look at the display on the left um I know that there is an emergency alarm um on on one of the transmitters there's a high priority um alarm on one of the transmitters we can see that the pump is actually in manual mode so um also like some uh in general the color coding to indicate materials in a process line is actually not um recommended but having said that um if the organization and The Operators feel that it is going to Aid them then um yeah color coding could be used in the in the process line so if lines are colored based on material they contain then implement the color so they can be toggled on and off so that's that's the takeaway like although it is not recommended right but if the operators feels that having the color for example if they've got a water line and they want to see a blue color for a water line um give them that a feature but um they should be able to turn off the features so usually it will be normal colors and if they want to see they can come and click on a button and that will provide them that information okay so the next one is um again on navigation so use a brightness coding um asparingly for Sally and like use brightness less like if I look on what I've got on the left of the screen um it is too bright to me it is not providing me the information that I'm an operator needs to make a decision but when I look on the right side I know that um the PV uh is probably it's in manual mode I know there is an emergency alarm on one of the pumps uh which means that I might probably have to contact the maintenance team to make to make sure that that alarm goes away and if you want we can get that pump to actually run um okay so the next guideline is use of symbol and process connection so use symbol and line coding that is easily understood with appropriate um salience so with consistent coding and appropriate salience what happens is the operator will be able to focus on the most important information first this will also ensure like fewer errors in identification and recognizing the equipment and the flow lines and the process um information that the display is trying to communicate to the operator so if you see that on the right there we got like um thicker lines which are the main process Lines within that display whereas on the left um first of all it is um there are two colorful and also all the line thicknesses are the same so for a seasoned operator or a new operator it will be very difficult to identify which process um this display is actually uh showing him like which is the main process in the display so the next one we are seeing um is the use of symbols and process connection again the same so another guideline is have a simple and consistent set of symbols right and that can eliminate confusion and operator error like having that consistency uh is very key um in abnormal situation management like a compliant displays right so uh the example that has been used like is opening the line width and the uh gradation of grade to the code process lines so it does not show like any outline to the um equipment like if you see that the equipment most of the vessels they are kind of like nicely um are embedded in the display it doesn't have a very thick line so it kind of like draws the attention of the operator so it is very easy on the eye of the operator and there are no like a visual um noise on this display to the operator so symbols used in the displays are consistent um and they they have a meaning and it is important that it carries the same meaning when it is referenced in like other documentation like for example training manuals or operating procedures or like maintenance procedure so you sometimes what happens when you do the training manuals is um like not sometimes most of the time is you take a copy of this display and then you put it in the training manual so that you can reference between retaining manual and the display so so having that consistency between the documentation and the display helps a lot in operator training um okay so the next one is use of text and numbers that are eligible for users um a typical position so black text on white background and send Siri font makes process value values very uh readable and also consideration has to be given for like older operators so if you have a very small font it might be difficult for the older operators so uh um a good size font that will help like a range of the operator age will definitely um uh that's how the display needs to be built okay so this one is use of text and numbers so as you can see that um use mixed case lettering for text messages right so if you have got like isolated word or upper um case sticks are recognizable and uh easy to read while um if you have like a sentence then um like a combination of upper and lower case print is more easy to read so the main fact the example is the main fractionator overhead um on the top picture um it's easier to read when it is like a sentence case as opposed to a flare which is on a single word on the in uppercase is easier to read okay the other guideline is interaction with displays ensure that the size and distance between the selectable display objects is appropriate to the Precision enabled by the pointing device right so the display could be called up on a mobile phone or it could be um like um caught up on a PC so you have to just make sure that um like whatever is the selecting object whether it is a a pen or it is a mouse the objects are not are far away so that it doesn't annoy the operator or he selects the inappropriate object to get the incorrect object to get the information um so that level of like the display segregation like the minimum separation distance between the selectable objects for example for a touch screen if they say it is a 0.25 inch um compared to for a mouse it is like a point one inch and then minimum area of the selectable object um what is recommended is for a touch screen it is 0.75 square inches to as compared to an using a mouse is like point zero 8 square inches so the next guideline is um ensure that an auditory indication is given when an invalid entry is detected when error avoidance techniques are applied so that means that if the operator is going to perform an entry and he makes a mistake in that entry for example if there is a range for a set point of zero to 50 percent and by mistake he enters 55 percent and he moves his eyes away from it the entry he might think that the control systems are second there's a point whereas it is not so in those conditions if you can give an audible indication that will draw the attention of the operator and he can actually fix his mistake okay so some guidelines on alarm configuration uh schemes so ensure that the display are available to view um there are displays available to view disabled and inhibited alarms so um so sometimes um alarms have to be like disabled and inhibited but operator need to be aware of the specific abnormal plant um uh conditions because they won't be actually enunciated because they are disabled and um inhibited so there should be a display where you can uh rotate legal and have a look what are the alarms that are disabled the next thing is provide information on alarm configuration settings that deviate from the designed values right so this means that if if an original setting of an um alarm is let's say 40 percent high level and if that setting um happens to be changed to 30 because of some process condition and it is an intermediate change so providing that original setting information to the operator will give him that in information about the process and he can keep an why watch when any of those alarm settings are actually hit on the process the third thing is provide access to alarm rationalization information right like quick online access to that kind of um information uh will help the operator especially when it comes to like infrequent or like uncommon alarms so if it's an alarm that he's never seen during his uh time on the desk right so that kind of information will give him the background why this alarm has been actually configured what is um the next steps that he has to take in order to like um keep the process within the operating boundaries what he has to do to actually make sure to he can like uh fix the alarm so that the alarm goes away okay the next guideline is audible Annunciation of alarm so ensure alarms have appropriate intensity to be audible like what it is is um you can configure audible alarms but don't keep it like uh too audible such that it is actually a nuisance to the operator it shouldn't start a limb whenever the alarm comes right so keep that the intensity of the audible alarm uh appropriate to the operator that you should be able to hear and act up on it but it should be a new not it should not be a nuisance to him how priority based audible bypass for upset conditions um that means that um in a process um uh upset you might get lot of alarms and most of and many alarms could have like um audible alarm configure to it so if you actually configure a bypass where under a process upset conditions it kind of like removes that audible feature of those alarms then it doesn't annoy the operator and he can focus his attention on ensuring uh that he can fix that process upset and finally the important one is have distinct tones for priority right like there are various priority of alarms like low or high emergency or critical so having these distinct Stones um help the operator uh in ensuring that which alarm he can he needs to like a timely act on and also will give him uh that level of focus based on that um audibility of that alarm so the next one is a visual Annunciation of alarm so ensure that the critical information such as alarm summary process overviews within um 30 degrees right and uh and also on an angle plane so um yeah that is the preferred position where um the operator can look at information and digest information as soon as it goes beyond the um 30 degrees on the left or the right then it starts to become difficult for the operator to actually digest that um yeah information it is not clearer to him so any key alarm or Trend information it is important that your control room is designed so that the viewing angle is within the 30 degrees okay so that brings us to the uh conclusion and I'll just make few more important uh points that is Again part of the guideline which is like ensure all operators like receive training on all the um displays like whether it's a green fields project or a ground field projects like uh training is very important and it helps in ensuring the operator uses the uh displays um appropriately uh ensure simulation Based training is provided for like task specific uh learning for example um like most of the process uh plans have got a simulator which kind of simulates like process upsets and will allow the operator to learn uh without having to be on the production world to learn it is more stressful to learn in a production environment than in a simulated environment um uh it is always helps when the operator are involved in the development activities of your of the displays and also ensure management of change um captures any major display changes and it is like a well communicated to the control room operator writers and the field technician so they are aware of it so with all that the key point is the implementation of an like the individual guideline um like we saw many guidelines right like the implementation of those guidelines in itself it will not guarantee um improved effective operation but together when all these guidelines are implemented it will kind of like um will definitely lead to lot of improvements uh to the um operator displays and assist in uh helping the operator in like controlling the abnormal situation with that I say uh thank you and uh if any questions I'm happy to take questions um we will continue on um AKA if you're um if you're happy to um to continue with uh with your part and uh we will hold a q a session at the end of this uh at the end of this webinar we should be wrapping up in about five to ten minutes thank you thank you so much um Riley and thank you so much santoshi's um I can see quite a lot of interest in questions for Santosh regarding the presentation sometimes you can probably have a look through the chat box and see what questions they have and maybe reply to some of them in the chat box meanwhile I'll just do a quick um um can you hear me everyone sorry okay yeah sorry yeah meanwhile I'll just do a quick introduction to the topics in general that you mentioned today abnormal situation management such an interesting topic now that in the larger context Falls within the area of Industrial Automation so the reason one of the reasons I we wanted to have the webinar is to give you guys some ideas about Industrial Automation and the different fields it has so that if you know if you're interested in learning more about it we have lots of courses here that we thought you might be interested in so as Santosh mentioned about abnormal situation management that's one part so to be honest Industrial Automation is a big big field and that covers a lot of things so whether it's you know packaging a quality control and inspection whether it's you know food and beverage industry whether you know you are installing Smart Meters that are home smart meters in an industrial setup whether it's any sort of planning or decision making different areas automation has you know slowly but surely taken a huge role whether you know you are using a computer to make you know instead to control certain operations or like as you saw how safety measures are taken and how you you know scada is yeah a critical part in an industrial operation or you know whether you are using smart sensors to collect data and get information about whether uh you know a particular equipment or a process is landing fine or not so Industrial Automation is any process where you are using Control Systems as well as you know it technology uh whether it's the older ID technology or the more advanced ID Technologies nowadays to control different operations and different processes so basically you're automating the process with the help of computers robots and different you know ever evolving I.T Technologies so I think you guys are pretty aware of that so given the short time I won't take too long and explaining that but of course if you guys want to learn more feel free to ask me questions later on in terms of Industrial Automation as you can see we're in the fourth stage of Industrial Automation or industry 4.0 uh it started with industry 1.0 almost more than 200 years ago now where you know they used steam powered engines for agricultural purposes then with the innovation of electricity they started processes of mass production but they could use you know control and operation and build the same stuff in a patch basically then came industry 3.0 about 50 years back within the computers came and you could you know instruct computers to control an operation and give instructions a single operation and now about for the last 10 12 years now with industry 4.0 is all about interconnected machines whereas cyber physical systems so all machines and Industrial iot so all machines communicating with each other they can collect information send it to the cloud more calculation more higher level operation being sorry higher level information being calculated and operated and later on in a probably in a few uh years maybe in another couple of decades we'll be going to Industry 5.0 where actually robots were already here but they will be operating in a more efficient manner side by side with humans so Industrial Automation is here to stay and it's uh you know ever progressing area the interesting thing with Industrial Automation as I mentioned it's a vast area whether it's an operation floor whether it's you know a Smart Home Smart City everything the automation Carries On and the interesting part about Industrial Automation is it's such a vast field it's actually people from it's actually relevant to people from different backgrounds as a result people from different backgrounds can come and learn about Industrial Automation manufacturing power plant industrial engineering control engineering mechanical engineering Power Engineering Electrical Engineering Process oil and gas someone was talking about everything is actually relevant to Industrial Automation and that's why some of our courses at EIT actually is very helpful because people from different backgrounds can come and we try to set the courses in a way that even if you are let's say from a mechanical background and trying to learn a course on uh let's say an electrical part of the automation you will have the basic fundamentals covered because we know this is the necessary fundamentals you need to understand that subject basically while we have many courses um I'll just quickly go through some of the the topics we have so that you have an idea about what we are covering here but of course you can see the website later on to learn more but as you can see we have the advanced diploma program The Bachelor of Science as well as Masters we also have a doctorate program as well and I think a Riley will tell you a bit more later on but just given the short time I'll just give you some idea about the topics or the type of you know units we have we have units on instrumentation we have topics on process engineering like controlling an offer yeah like a industrial process with some use cases we have communication related topic like TCP IP modbus industrial ethernet we have topics on distributed control system we have topics on PLC we have topics on scada and all of them or you have topics on iot now which is a new topic similar to what Santosh was talking about we have lots of topics on safety systems like Hazard safety instrumentation and so on and all these topics we have and then Advanced diploma level we have the same topics or more similar topics but in an advanced stage with more advanced uh you know settings for a bachelor level and of course for the Master's level as well you will see we have more advanced topics such as like a pure complete unit on machine learning scada and so on so you will actually be coming to a program where you are learning different aspects of Industrial Automation and So based on that you can go to different areas later on and we have courses on online as well as on campus and we try to keep the experience the same from our previous experience so even if you are from online with the remote Lab Services you have you will get the best possible experience to the best industry standard softwares as well as you know yeah remote control of some of the hard words in some cases using PLC as well so we have quite a few courses I think Riley you can probably go through them but yeah if there any other questions related to that feel free to ask me otherwise once Riley finished I think Santosh can answer a few questions as well thank you thanks very much AKA I can say there's yeah quite a few questions coming through um I have seen a few people have been talking about the course fees so I'll just put a link in the chat box there if anyone is interested in looking at our fees that page will show all of our course feeds for um for our courses so you just need to put in your country of residence at the top and then it will display all the relevant course fees for you um this uh this little table that I've got here is um is basically a schedule of upcoming uh courses in the field of Industrial Automation we've got a lot more courses than these because we have um we cover various other fields of engineering but since this is a Industrial Automation related topic today I've listed the courses there in that field so you can see we've got professional certificates um so those are the three-month short courses um they're non-accredited but they're benefit is mainly for those already working in Industry possibly wanting to upskill um some professional development um now we have an undergrad undergraduate certificate in Industrial Automation starting on the 14th of February um and we've got a range of other courses such as advanced diplomas um one in Industrial Automation we've also got a Robotics and mechatronics advanced diploma and we have four graduate certificates in Industrial Automation field and they are starting on the 27th of June and our master of engineering Industrial Automation online that is is also starting on the 27th of June um now due to the limitations of the slides I can't display um as many uh courses as I would like to so just um encouraging you to go to our website have a look go to the schedule page or the link is also there for you I'll put it in the chat box if anyone's interested sort of schedule um the schedule shows all of our upcoming courses so you can browse that in your own time now we've got a webinar next week if anyone's interested it's not a technical topic webinar but it is a webinar focused on engineering Trends and what kind of courses we offer at EIT and how we are responding to those Trends in Industry so that's actually being presented by our dean of engineering at EIT Dr Steve Mackay and our Deputy Dean Andrew mathie so that's definitely a interesting webinar if you want to go and register for that one you can find that on our website under news and events and then you can go to events or webinars and you can find that one to register for um so that's mainly if you're wanting to become a if you're interested in becoming a student at EIT um that's definitely a good one to register for now we as as mentioned we do offer a free certificate of attendance for this session um so I'm just going to leave that slide on uh for a minute or so um so please please access the form or survey which is required to receive

screen if you would like to contact us including our our schedule page as well which shows all of our upcoming courses um Jane uh yes so um I will be sending um an email out uh tomorrow um So within the next business day with um with the PDF slides and a link to the video recording of um of this webinar today uh now Santosh uh there's there's a few questions from Clyde um uh do you mind having a look at those or or do you have time um sorry I think better to do them or through an email so I'm just uh running late for the class so thank you all um have a good evening no worries thanks Santosh uh Clyde um if you would uh if you would just like to send me an email to um to the email address that I provided um please yeah please just send me an email and I can I can forward all your questions onto Santosh unfortunately um he's got a class uh right after this webinar so um that's why he needed to leave however we have AK online as well um so we can answer any other questions that come through um hopefully uh as mentioned um you will receive an email with the PDF slides and a link to the video recording within the next business day yeah hi Riley I'll just answer to Philip there he asked a question are there other than the fees difference are there any changes in topic or any other extra modules for exclusively on campus so that's no so it's the same modules as you have learned online as well as on campus so it's the same unit outlines and same forces basically yeah and just to add on to that um Philip uh so we have um we have two campuses uh in Australia um we have one in Perth Western Australia and one in Melbourne Victoria um so with our on-campus program you'll be looking at full-time study uh at one of one of our two campuses um if you're interested in on-campus studies however the online mode is fully online so um we our online mode is most popular we have we have students from all around the world studying with us online in a range of different qualifications um so but there is yes there is a significant fee difference between uh between studying online and on campus um there are a lot of questions coming through unfortunately um we won't be able to get to them all um however yeah I saw a question from Yusuf asking about uh are there any courses on power system related so I think there are quite a few courses there so yeah I just have to relate to the website I guess yeah um I think we also um I think we also have a graduate certificate uh uh in power system analysis I believe uh let me just find that for you um if you yeah if you go to um if you go to our website anyway look at our look at our schedule page I um I really recommend looking at that which shows you all about upcoming courses and AKs just posted the link in the chat box there um now the certificate of attendance link is that working for you all it appears to be working for me um so once you fill out your your details on the form there um you will um you will get a confirmation and then I'll send out a certificate of attendance to you within the next business day um the undergraduate certificates in Industrial Automation that that one is accredited with the Australian government uh however it is it's not um an internationally recognized qualification it's not under any any of the s but it is accredited within Australia yep so we do have a a masters uh in electrical engineering um you can check that out on our website we do offer it online and on campus we have a range of scholarships that you can look at on our website um under how to apply as I hid I would encourage you going to the website and looking at fees uh the fees page which is um which is under how to apply if you go to our fees page you'll see all the fees for all applicable courses uh Joseph I would um I'm just going to copy the link for the certificate of attendance please access that one in the chat box if you click that link you'll be able to go to the certificate of attendance form uh Jimmy um I've just posted the um the link to the certificate of attendance it should be working I I just tested it if you click that link it will take you to a short form or survey and then um your details will be recorded and I'll send you your certificate the the Masters in electrical and instrumentation engineering and oil and gas as mentioned uh previously um the intakes are to be announced um I don't have any information about the scheduling of that course at this stage um but definitely please send me an email at webinars eit.edu.au and I can definitely follow that one up for you uh prints I will send an email within the next 24 hours um including the PDF slides of this session Mandeep I'm not entirely sure on that um I would recommend you contact us and speak to one of our course advisors to see what a suitable courses there may be for you okay great well I think I think that's about all we have time for uh for today um however all of our contact details are on the screen so please please send me an email at webinars eit.edu.edu if you have any questions or if you would like to uh if you would like to send a question to me or to one of the two other lecturers
