The profession of a mechanic dealing with instrumentation is becoming more and more relevant every day. What is the reason? This will be discussed further.

Who is an I&C engineer?

In almost any enterprise there are many different devices, sensors, meters and other technical devices. All such equipment must be supervised by someone. The instrumentation adjuster is the very specialist who is able to control the safe and efficient operation of all devices available in the production. Thus, a professional is obliged to conduct a periodic inspection of the equipment, its quality repair or replacement.

It should be noted right away that the profession in question is not so simple. After all, a competent specialist must have a fairly wide range of knowledge, skills and abilities. Without all this, it will not be possible to carry out their work functions qualitatively.

What should an I&C engineer know?

The profession has as many as seven categories, and therefore the knowledge of specialists with different qualifications can differ significantly. However, it is worth highlighting the most basic points that are enshrined in a special job description worker. Here are some of them:

  • basics of technological methods of locksmith production;
  • the device of the working tool and its purpose;
  • techniques, methods and means of working with springs in a hot or cold state;
  • methods of performing locksmith work;
  • basics of electrical work;
  • the basics of connecting wires;
  • properties of materials for tinning;
  • the basics of safety, methods and means of protection during work.

And much more. It is also worth giving the basic practical skills that an employee should have. Among them:

  • performing locksmith processing;
  • proper use of tools;
  • high-quality soldering;
  • elimination of defects, etc.

Thus, a mechanic and automation must have a fairly large stock of knowledge and skills. Moreover, this employee must constantly develop his knowledge and skills. After all, progress does not stand still, but working equipment is constantly being improved.

The rights of the instrumentation adjuster

The specialist in question, like any other officially working person, has a certain range of rights. What are these rights? How and when can they be implemented? The instrumentation adjuster, according to a special job description, has the right to:

  • constantly improve their skills and professional skills;
  • demand from management the necessary documents or tools for work;
  • arrange all necessary benefits or social guarantees;
  • receive full salary on time;
  • offer superiors various ideas or plans to improve the organization.

Above, only the most basic rights that the specialist in question has were named.

Responsibility of the instrumentation adjuster

A mechanic for instrumentation and automation has not only rights, but also a certain share of responsibility for some of his actions. What does the special job description fix in this case? Here are key excerpts from that document:

  • the employee bears disciplinary responsibility for staying at the workplace in a state of drug or alcohol intoxication;
  • the employee is obliged to bear responsibility for the complete failure or improper performance of his main work functions and duties.

In addition, the employee is responsible for:

  • for causing material damage to the organization;
  • for committing offenses or crimes in the workplace;
  • for conflicts or inciting discord in the work team.

Thus, an instrumentation and automation fitter, like any other employee, is obliged to bear disciplinary, administrative or criminal liability for a certain kind of act, depending on their severity and scale.

Required education for work

How and where is it necessary to study in order to get the profession of "instrumentation and automation adjuster"? Training for this profession is available almost everywhere, and it will be almost no difficulty to obtain the education necessary for the specialty. So, the specialty of the same name is present in almost any technical school or college, which can be entered on the basis of 9 classes of the school. The duration of training is about 3-4 years. However, it is worth noting that there are also special courses where you can get qualified much faster. There are, however, they are far from everywhere; but the number of disciplines and curricula not much different compared to.

Among the training cycles necessary for obtaining education are:

  • educational practice;
  • Physical Culture;
  • professional certifications.

About the 2nd and 3rd category in the profession

The Unified Tariff and Qualification Guide characterizes the profession in question as a job with seven categories. Each skill level has its own range of responsibilities and functions. The 2nd and 3rd categories in the profession are, one might say, initial. As a rule, only college graduates who have completed their studies, workers with little experience, etc. are concentrated here. Here are examples of jobs typical for a specialist with a 2nd or 3rd category:

  • work with large relays, distributors and regulators; their assembly and repair;
  • assembly and calibration of copper or platinum resistance thermometers;
  • assembly, repair and adjustment of compact thermocouples;
  • production, repair and commissioning of various degrees of complexity of clamps;
  • drilling, grinding, reaming, pinning and other work with gears, bushings, set rings, screws, etc.

About the 4th and 5th category in the profession

The Unified Tariff and Qualification Handbook contains indications of job descriptions for specialists of the 4th and 5th categories. It is in these documents that the main examples of the work of specialists are fixed. Here are the approximate types of work that a locksmith with the 4th category should carry out:

  • capital or scale commodity or automobile scales with an index device, bunker or analytical scales;
  • repair or restoration of adding machines;
  • replacement necessary details in autoregulators;
  • inspection, repair or adjustment work.

The instrumentation adjuster, having the 5th category, is able to carry out work of approximately the following type:

  • repair and adjustment of sights;
  • replacement of gear axles;
  • balancing of mobile devices;
  • repair of assembly tables;
  • revision of polarized relays, etc.

About the 6th and 7th category in the profession

The ranks of an instrumentation and automation adjuster indicate a lot: the level of education, work experience, professional skills, etc. The 6th and 7th qualification levels are considered quite important and prestigious.

What types of work are typical for specialists with the 6th category?

  • Adjustment on the existing equipment of automatic regulators and heat measuring instruments.
  • Repair of electronic equipment.
  • Work with automatic portion scales.
  • Work with wagon exemplary scales.
  • Repair of oscilloscopes.

What types of work are typical for a specialist with a 7th grade? Here are some examples:

  • testing and verification of microprocessor devices (pressure sensors, differential pressure gauges, etc.);
  • verification and testing work with gas analyzers, measuring instruments (moisture, salt, pressure, etc.).

About the 8th category in the profession

A specialist with the eighth grade is considered the most important and experienced specialist in production. Naturally, this kind of worker is endowed with particularly complex functions. What is the professional standard in this case?

The instrumentation fitter with the latest qualification level, in addition to managerial duties, must also:

  • compile and maintain programs for microprocessor controllers, regulators and other devices;
  • select the necessary characteristics that would meet the efficient, but at the same time economical and optimal operation of the equipment;
  • check, test and commission level gauges, recorders, vibrometers, devices with intelligent pressure sensors, paperless recorders, computer-based devices, etc.

A specialist may have many other functions, but here everything will depend on the orders of the authorities and the place of work.

One of the main characteristics of measuring instruments is the accuracy class (an indicator that describes the permissible error). This value is not static, it changes during operation. As a result, over time, the error may go beyond the permissible limits.

This threatens with many troubles, ranging from violation technological process and ending with the threat of an emergency. Therefore, devices, sensors, measuring mechanisms and other specialized equipment must be regularly calibrated in the instrumentation and control department. Let's talk about the organization of this service and its main tasks.

What is KIPA?

This definition includes all control equipment and automation used in almost various production areas and in everyday life. Examples include electricity and water meters, pressure regulators in the oil and gas industry, automation for boiler rooms, etc.

Abbreviation decoding

The abbreviation of this term stands for quite simply - instrumentation and automation. The service with the same name performs the following tasks and functions:

  • implementation of metrological supervision;
  • Maintenance, adjustment and repair of measuring equipment;
  • introduction of new automation systems at the enterprise, for example, automated control systems.

In some cases, foremen and adjusters of the "Instrumentation and A" department can be involved in the commissioning of electrical equipment, if there is a production need.

Types of instrumentation

The classification of measuring equipment is made depending on the physical and technical characteristics of the instruments, as well as their qualitative and quantitative indicators. By the name of the group, it is easy to determine the purpose of the measuring devices included in it:

  • instruments for measuring temperature - thermometers (A in Fig. 2);
  • devices for determining pressure - pressure gauges (B);
  • flow meters of the working medium or other substances - flow meters (C);
  • determinants of the composition of gas mixtures - gas analyzers (D);
  • tank filling level sensors - level gauges (E), etc.
Figure 2. Different kinds measuring instruments

Each of the groups, in turn, is divided into several subgroups, according to the design and principle of operation. For example, manometers, among them there are devices for measuring excess pressure, its difference, or displaying the absolute value. The design of these devices can be electrocontact or mechanical.


Structure of the I&C department

The structure of I&C departments is formed taking into account many factors, of which two key ones can be distinguished:

  • the number of measuring instruments used by the enterprise;
  • service complexity.

Based on these factors, a centralized or decentralized structure of the service is formed. Briefly about each of them.

Features of a centralized structure

This method of forming a subdivision is suitable for enterprises that do not have many measuring instruments, sensors, etc. involved in their technological schemes. This allows you to combine the operation and maintenance department into one service, which is managed by the head of the instrumentation shop. In small enterprises, this managerial person can combine the position of the chief metrologist.

One of the groups of specialists of the service is assigned to certain production areas for regular maintenance of instrumentation (including accounting for instruments and their repair) located on the territory specified in the job description. If necessary, by order of the head of the workshop, this group of specialists can be reinforced by other employees of the service, for example, to carry out extensive repair or installation work.

This structure allows you to create teams of narrow specialization (for example, installers, electricians, electricians, electricians, electricians, electronics engineers, etc.). They are engaged in the repair, adjustment and installation of complex equipment, as well as the commissioning of new systems. After commissioning is completed, the equipment is serviced by a team in charge of the workshop where the installation was made.

Features of a decentralized structure

This method of organization is practiced in large enterprises. The peculiarity lies in the fact that the repair (methodical) unit is a separate service, while the tasks of operation are assigned to the technological workshop. Each of these divisions has its own leadership. The specialists of the methodological division are headed by the chief metrologist, and the employees of the operation department are subordinate to the head of the shop.

The duties of the methodological service include all types of planned, extra-planned and planned preventive repair work. Payment for the services rendered is transferred to a separate current account, it is deducted from the funds allocated to the technological workshop of instrumentation and automation.

Depending on the characteristics of production, the work of the operation service is organized taking into account the specialization of work, or according to technological features.

In the first option, groups of specialists are created who are responsible for the operation of certain types of instrumentation (signaling, automation, controls, etc.). In the second - teams of craftsmen responsible for the operation of equipment of certain technological flows.

In a decentralized structure, the methodological service is financially completely dependent on the technological workshop, since payments for the work done come from its budget.

If a production need arises, operational service can be strengthened by employees of the repair unit or crews responsible for the installation of automation and control systems. The order for this must be issued by the chief instrument operator of the enterprise (metrologist). The operation service must cope with the majority of regular commissioning works on its own.


Main goals

Regardless of the structure of the instrumentation and control service, its main tasks include:

  • creation of conditions under which the uninterrupted operation of all systems for which the unit is responsible will be ensured;
  • ensuring the availability of spare parts, backup equipment for measuring technology and automation;
  • checking the correct operation of devices located in the area of ​​​​responsibility of the service;
  • regular instructions and training of personnel on the rules and regulations for the operation of automation and control equipment;
  • commissioning of new specialized projects.

Responsibilities of an Instrumentation Mechanic

In accordance with the requirements of the professional standard, the instrumentation and automation fitter must know the principle of operation of the equipment he controls, be able to repair and maintain it. For example, for the maintenance of electrical equipment, it is necessary to obtain an appropriate specialized education, general knowledge of the basics of electrical engineering will not be enough.

Depending on the specifics of the equipment being serviced, the locksmith’s workplace may have the following fixtures and sets of tools: an instrumentation cabinet, shields, equipment installed on consoles, measuring devices, sockets for connecting electrical appliances, etc.


This specialty requires the employee to understand both the equipment entrusted to him and the general technology of the process.

What does an I&C engineer do?

This job has the following responsibilities:

  • organizational work related to ensuring the smooth operation of equipment;
  • responsibility for the introduction of automated equipment;
  • management of instrumentation and automation services, in particular, coordination of teams of specialists;
  • metrological support;
  • drafting technical documentation (routing, schedules for maintenance, verification, calibration);

  • long-term planning (action plan for a month, quarter, year);
  • acceptance of completed work;
  • drawing up prescriptions, in accordance with the identified shortcomings and comments;
  • organization of control over the fulfillment of tasks.

An example of decoding the stigma of verification

After verification of the device by the instrumentation and control service, the device is marked with an appropriate designation (stamp), as a rule, it carries a certain information component. We give an example of decryption.


Designations:

  • Verification date (quarter).
  • Image of the Gosstandart sign.
  • The year is encrypted with two digits, in our case 09 - 2009.
  • A code that allows you to determine the service that tested the device;
  • Sign assigned to an employee of the instrumentation and automation equipment.

Any modern enterprise engaged in production activities necessarily uses certain instruments and sensors. Ordinary citizens also need them, because with their help it is possible to control the consumption of water, heat and electricity. At the same time, there are specialists who are engaged in ensuring the normal operation of all these devices.

Definition of instrumentation and varieties

The main purpose of instrumentation and automation, which include special measuring devices and automation, is to determine the exact physical quantities. With the help of these devices, you can get an idea of ​​the current water consumption, determine how efficiently this equipment is functioning, etc.

What is KIPA?

The decoding of this term is quite simple and is as follows: instrumentation and automation is nothing more than instrumentation and automation. In its turn the I&C department should be understood as a special service, whose responsibilities include ensuring the operability of a system of various sensors and devices throughout the enterprise. The specialists of this department monitor the condition of a large number of various instruments, which include automatic valves, flow meters, etc.

Types of instrumentation

The basis of instrumentation is formed by a wide variety of instruments and devices that are often used in various fields. This can be both household devices and mechanisms that have become widespread in construction industry , heavy industry. Moreover, within each direction, separate subgroups of control and measuring devices are distinguished.

Electric meters, ammeters and voltmeters have become widespread for monitoring power consumption. These devices are different type, which affects where they are used: in the residential, industrial sector or in the public sector. Most often, the installation of these devices is carried out by specialists. For this reason, these Instrumentation and control devices must have exceptional characteristics in terms of quality and measurement accuracy.

A special group of instrumentation is formed by instruments used to measure pressure. These should be considered various models of pressure gauges, vacuum gauges, pressure gauges, etc. These devices have become widespread in various areas, which include industry, boiler systems, and oil refining.

It should also be mentioned about control and measuring devices, with which the volume of bulk solids and liquids is measured. In addition to them, there are other subgroups of instrumentation, which include devices used to determine switching costs, protection devices, etc.

Although there are quite a lot of these devices, thermostats, automatic drives, and frequency converters are most often used.

As already mentioned, the main the purpose of instrumentation is to measure certain quantities. This data is obtained, focusing on the scale and pointer. They can be classified into two types: unilateral and bilateral. With one-sided instruments, the scale is arranged so that its values ​​start from the left side, and the received data is limited to one direction. As for bilateral devices, here the place is reserved for the zero mark strictly in the center. The measurement values ​​can be on the right or left side of the central axis.

What does an instrumentation fitter do?

The main duties of a Kipovian specialist are related to the repair of various electronic metering and control devices. These employees must also be electricians, as in the process of work they have to put into practice the laws of physics. After all, often only an instrumentation engineer is able to help start production.

Where do instrument experts come from?

The staff of the instrumentation and control department is formed only from those specialists who not only have a specialized education, but also have experience. Such an employee can easily read the data of control and measuring devices of any enterprise and get an idea about the nature of the use of electricity. But when one device fails, it leads to serious problems, including the temporary cessation of the entire enterprise.

If a young person chose a field related to instrumentation and automation when entering college, then upon graduation he has the opportunity to find a job in any of the industries. Today, automated systems can be found in railway facilities, refineries, heavy machinery, and those that manufacture food.

And the instrumentation and control services do an excellent job with their functions, as their staff consists of qualified specialists, which are able to maintain uninterrupted operation of key enterprise systems for a long time.

It is impossible to imagine without instruments and sensors. Yes, and in the residential sector can not do without meters for water, heat and electricity. Who arranges these useful gadgets if the need arises? Who oversees their correct work?

What is KIPA?

"Casket" opens simply: Instrumentation and control - instrumentation and automation. The instrumentation department (decoding above), more precisely, a service with this name is responsible for the performance of the entire instrument system at the enterprise. Instruments for accounting for electricity and gasoline, automatic valves, flow meters, and other means of control - all this is under the jurisdiction of the Kipovites.

What does an instrumentation fitter do?

A locksmith-kipovets is a specialist in the repair of simple and complex, conventional and electronic and control. Who can practically apply Ohm's law except an electrician? Samples of possession of knowledge of the laws of physics - employees of the automation service and adjustment of various devices. Only an engineer or instrumentation fitter can cope with the launch of production. The word is known to everyone associated with automation.

Where do instrument experts come from?

Only specialists with professional education and experience are employed in the I&C department. Deciphering the readings of control and measuring instruments of a large enterprise can tell a knowledgeable person about the scale of trade, for example, oil or electric current. It is necessary to refuse one of the devices - losses are inevitable, up to the shutdown of the enterprise.

After graduating from a college with a degree in the appropriate title, a graduate can be useful in any of the Automation systems used in oil refineries and in the railway sector, in heavy engineering and in food factories.
