The lead theme of "Integrated Industry" signals the fair's key focus on the growing integration of all areas of industry. Machines, equipment and system components will soon be capable of exchanging data in real-time. The line-up of 11 trade fairs will focus on developments in each of the featured sectors.

The theme of this year's Emerson Exchange is 'Combining the Elements' - where the elements to be combined include experience, technology, leadership, quality, engineering, management, safety, and knowledge to bring about innovation and advancement in process manufacturing.

This course reviews the knowledge and skills areas included on the Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST) Level III examination. The intent is to prepare an automation professional who meets the exam criteria to take the exam.

This course combines lecture and hands-on labs to provide an overview of industrial measurement and control. Technicians, engineers, and managers are provided with a foundation for communication with other control system professionals. Serves as a solid fundamental course for introduction to other ISA courses.

This course will cover the ANSI/ISA-67.01.01 standard relating to the installation of transducers for nuclear safety-related applications. The course emphasis will be a review of established requirements and recommendations for the installation of transducers and auxiliary equipment for nuclear applications outside of the main reactor vessel.

The course will discuss the terminology and the appropriate use of the standard and the steps necessary for the development of safety-related setpoint analysis. ANSI/ISA-67.04.01 has been used as the basis for many plant specific setpoint programs and setpoint calculations.

This is a fast paced review of the knowledge and practical skills necessary to install and maintain standard measurement and control instrumentation. It is intended for practicing technicians preparing for the CCST Level I exam. An explanation of the examination process and practice certification-type exams are provided.

This course reviews the knowledge and skills areas that are included on the Control Systems Engineer (CSE) Professional Engineer (PE) examination produced by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) and administered by US state professional license boards each October.

This course provides a detailed, systematic approach to the specifying and implementing instrumentation in hazardous locations. Related standards from National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), American Petroleum Institute (API), and ISA are discussed.

Fire and gas detection and suppression system design techniques that are currently in use are often considered to be unsatisfactory due to their nature of being rule of thumb and experience-oriented without any real ability to quantify risk.
