Students will be better able to save their companies time and money through the optimization of system performance requirements. This builds upon the foundation set in ISA’s EC50 (Safety Instrumented Systems-Design\, Analysis\, and Justification). \nCertificate Program: This course is required for the ISA84 Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Program 2. When you register for the course\, the certificate exam is included with your registration.ISA Course Safety Instrumented Systems-Design\, Analysis\, and Justification (EC50) or Safety Instrumented Systems: Design\, Analysis\, and Justification (EC50E) and ISA Certificate Safety Instrumented Systems Certificate Program 1 are prerequisites for Certificate Program 2. Those who successfully complete this course and pass the exam receive the designation of ISA84 SIL Selection Specialist. \n\nYou will be able to:\nDevelop and implement different SIL selection techniques within your organization\, including the risk matrix\, risk graph\, and LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis)\, in order to determine the appropriate level of performance needed of your safety systems. This will prevent you from over or under designing the system requirements and will save your organization time and money. \nYou will cover:\n\nPrevention of System Requirements Over- or Under-Design\nDetermination of the Appropriate Level of Performance Needed for Your Safety Systems\nSafety Integrity Level (SIL) Selection Hands-on Examples: 3-Dimensional Risk Matrix | Risk Graph | LOPA (Layer of Protection Analysis) | Modified (implicit) LOPA\n\n  \nFor more information: \nhttps://www.isa.org/products/advanced-safety-integrity-level-sil-selection-ec52

SUMMARY:Camouflage – Poor Practices in HMI Design
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nCamouflage is the art of making things more difficult to see. Surprisingly\, the principles of camouflage can be found in many HMI practices being touted today as “improvements” over past practices. Such poor designs are easily found on the web\, in magazine articles\, in vendor promotional materials\, and in delivered work products of graphics designers. In this talk\, examples of such practices will be shown\, and contrasted to clean\, clear\, crisp\, and legible visualizations that would provide operators with a much clearer understanding of process conditions. \nPresenter: \n \nBill Hollifield \nBill is an ISA Fellow with over 40 years of industrial engineering\, control\, and consulting experience. He wrote two books – The Alarm Management Handbook and The High Performance HMI Handbook\, and participates in the ISA-18.2 (Alarm Mgt) and 101 (HMI) standards committees. Bill has (finally) semi-retired. He’s a pilot and built his own plane – an RV-12. \nInstructions: \nDownload and install Zoom software if necessary \nRegister using the form below. \nThe day before the meeting you will receive an email with the meeting ID and password \nYou may join the meeting starting at approximately 11:00 am for socializing and announcements \nThe presentation will begin at 11:30 am \nNo Charge For ISA Members!

SUMMARY:75th Annual Instrumentation and Automation Symposium
DESCRIPTION:75 Year Special Commemoration  \nABOUT\nIn 1946\, the first Short Course on Instrumentation for the Process Industries was held to educate professionals and students in the instrumenation and automation industries. Although it is now known as the Instrumentation and Automation Symposium and the tools used for instrumentation and control continue to evolve\, many industry objectives have remained. The Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries\, now in its 75th year\, continues to educate professionals and students. The Symposium focuses on current critical areas in instrumentation and automation. Topics include but are not limited to: Instrument Reliability\, Instrumented Safeguards\, Technology Focus\, and Regulatory Compliance. At the symposium\, practical technical papers as well as vendor exhibits are presented with a focus on education. \nWe are proud to announce that the Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries and the International Society of Automation (ISA) will collaborate for this year’s conference. Over the last 75 years these two institutions have served the needs of the manufacturing and engineering industries by providing training\, research\, practice development\, communication and networking to drive efficiency and safety. \nDon’t miss the chance to help celebrate 75 years of two well respected institutions: \nThe Instrumentation and Automation Symposium for the Process Industries and the ISA\nOver the last 75 years these institutions have served the needs of manufacturing and engineering by providing training\, research\, practice development\, communication and networking to drive efficiency and safety. \nPlease join us as we build on collaboration into the future! \nRegister For The Event Here! \n

SUMMARY:Professional Engineering (PE) Study Group for the Control Systems Exam (CSE)
DESCRIPTION:For seven years\, in the ten (10) weeks leading up to the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam for Control Systems Engineering (CSE)\, the ISA Houston Section has offered to help members prepare for the exam by hosting weekly study group sessions at a convenient local venue. In this eighth year of the initiative\, Wood has been kind enough to host the sessions at their Thoroughbred building in the Energy Corridor. \nWith a participant success rate of ~80%\, the study sessions are a valuable tool in the licensing process since the NCEES board does not have any official study material for the CSE PE exam (http://ncees.org/exams/exam-preparation-materials/exam-prep-materials/) \nPE Study Group Calendar Weekly Topics:\n\nAugust 21 – Measurement Part I\nAugust 28 – Measurement Part II\nSeptember 4 – Signals\, Transmission\, and Networking Part I\nSeptember 11 – Signals\, Transmission\, and Networking Part II\nSeptember 18 – Final Control Elements Part I\nSeptember 25 – Final Control Elements Part II\nOctober 2 – Control Systems Part I\nOctober 9 – Control Systems Part II\nOctober 16– Safety Systems Part I\nOctober 23 – Safety Systems Part II\nOctober 25 – Exam Day
