An instrument engineer should know
What is instrumentation?
Process variables.
Standard signals.
Control Loop
COntroller
Type of controller
Mode of controllor
Final Controll element
Transmitter
I/P Converter
Control Valve
Pressure Safety Valve
Solenid Valve
Switches (Pressure Temprature....)
Relay (NO and NC concept)
Relay Logic
PLC
DCS
SCADA
You have to take courses on control systems basics, PLC and SCADA concepts.if you learn the concepts. You will be able to deal with any PLC type just you will need to know how it syas it :)
for example:- let's assume two PLCs "A" and "B" and you want to load value of "10" into memory area mem1
plc and scada
if you want to be instrument and control engineer yous should have deep study of control system, instrumentation and measurement, Miro processor and Embedded system and above all Electronics and Electrical and optical fibers. these all are the courses you should study. but courses are not enough untill you have projects learning and for that purpose you must go through studying of some fine projects study i think that will help you too much. just when you study take a pen and paper and note down the points which you come across study and just put new ideas of your studies in those already implemented projects that will help you thinking approach. and one day you will have best approach the problems when you face then in your practical field.
An Instrument Engineer should have a deep study of control system, instrumentation and measurement, Miro processor and Embedded system and above all Electronics and Electrical and optical fibers.
it very good idea to check these skill which is basic to have PE certification https://cdn.ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/PE-Control-Systems-Oct-2011.pdf
also check the topic and skill in ISA.org
You need Basic knowledge on Instrumentation and Automation, But also Electrical engineering and computer skills.
Moreover, you should practice, by making some trainnings. Courses are not enough in these feilds.
Go for Drives and PLC/SCADA/DCS/HMI programming courses and Process Instrumentation course, and specially for Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider, GE, Mitsubishi systems.
Good Knowledge of PLC–HMI, CPU, Signal Modules interface, communication modules touch and key operator, panels communication SCADA in Oil Gas Industry.
Good Knowledge of WINCC/Siemens. & Flex-WINCC related to oil gas Industry.
Good Knowledge of DCS and PLC’s, panel design and testing.
Good Knowledge of Instrumentation Flowmeter, level and pressure temperature, conductivity and control valves, on\\off valves and calibration tools which used in oil gas Industry.
Good Knowledge of Drivers, DC drivers, Encoders.
Good Knowledge of Calibration, Installation and Maintenance of Instruments
Design Panels: Distribution, Power Factor Panels and control disks.
Design, installation commissioning, startup, and repaired for most industrial sector.
Design Process Control Basics and Control Valve Sizing, Selection and Maintenance (incl. Pressure Relief Valve
Programmable Logic Controllers1
Design SCADA Systems and Distributed Control Systems
Well Known of Safety Instrumentation and Emergency Shutdown Systems for Oil and Gas (IEC 61511 and IEC 61508)
Oil and Gas Specific Applications Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Facilities
