Whilst not emulating a production process of any specific
industry, the UTR presents the application frame conditions
in a way to offer a variety of training possibilities. An agitator
(level disturbance) , heater element (temperature changes)
and injected compressed air (entrained gas) allow the process
conditions to be interrupted in a controlled manner giving
the trainee a practical perspective of the sensitivities of each
instrumentation type operating under varying field conditions
All operational parameters including instrument selection
are controlled via the integrated Programmable Logic Control-
ler and touch screen display.
Endress+Hauser is offering two new intensive five day
training courses targeted at technical plant personnel from
technician and engineer grades right through to maintenance,
engineering and project management.The two courses cover
all of the major process measurements classes including level,
flow, pressure, temperature and analytical starting from the
principles of operation through to application topics such as
meter selection, installation and application issues, and basic
trouble shooting.The trainee is introduced at a practical level
to the standard Endress+Hauser instrument selection and
sizing software tool “Applicator” plus hands on instrument
configuration and troubleshooting using the device keyboard
and display as well as the service software tool ‘FieldCare’.
As well as ‘real life’ instrument and control operation, the
UTR also allows different field communication strategies to
be presented via its use ofWireless HART, Profibus as well as
standard 4-20 mA connections. Supplementary topics such as
reading and understanding P&ID diagrams and Plant Asset
Management are also included. The courses are interactive
with all theory accompanied by extensive practical assign-
ments on the UTR itself followed by written assessments thus
maximising the learning experience.
On request, a training brochure is available outlining the
UTR and training course modules in more detail including
pricing and schedules. An open day is being planned for later
in the year where you will be able to have an in-depth look at
the UTR and the training programme and discuss what it has
to offer your company.
