Supporting Knowledge and/or Skills

Given a design package for an instrumentation and control system, evaluate its

application within an integrated system for the following criteria:

Instruments and controls meet the general human factors criteria and considerations

for safe and efficient system operation.

Instruments and controls perform within the parameters required for safe and

efficient system operation.

Instrument and control response times are adequate for safe and efficient system

operation.

Instruments and controls are physically configured for safe and efficient

maintenance.

Instruments and controls meet the general design criteria for the system in which they

are to be used.

Given a proposed application of an instrumentation and control system to an integrated

system, evaluate the performance of the integrated system to determine that instrument

and control performance requirements will be met.

Discuss the problems presented to instrumentation and control systems under various

system applications.
