PCS7 System Service 1
Class ID: US-PCSVCS1B-20270290
PCS7 System Service 1 is scheduled for November 1 - 4, 2027, at elliTek. The cost is $4,200 per person and may change without notice.
This 4-day face-to-face course is designed for Engineers, Operators, and Maintenance Technicians who are receiving an engineered PCS7 system and are responsible for system sustaining and service. Upon successful completion of this course, students will receive 2.6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).

PCS7 System Service 1 - description
The goals of the PCS7 System Service 1 course are to help the student learn to efficiently use, optimize, and troubleshoot their process through the PCS7 system. This course begins with the students learning the key system architecture and operational functions. The course then builds a solid foundation of system fault analysis of software configuration, important basic project settings, including physical components, software configuration, basic module parameterization, and system networks. Students will then learn how to analyze errors/faults using the system tools and determine the cause and corrective action of these errors/faults. This hands-on course builds experience with system use, optimization, common troubleshooting, and basic service engineering tasks.
