Note: Although commissioning and configuration of the system is not the primary focus of the course, the student will perform basic lab-guided commissioning using various wizard tools to create a simple system. The student will learn to maintain the system settings by creating various backups, followed by actual restoration of the system. Interpretation of Fault and Alarm codes and LEDs and proper troubleshooting steps is a primary goal, as well as necessary steps for component replacement in the event of a hardware failure. Actual component replacement steps will be discussed, but not performed as the training units are not designed for easy access to hardware. The course format is a combination of instruction and hands-on exercises aimed at developing job-related knowledge and skills.
