SCD - System Control Diagrams

SCD design methodology was developed in the Norwegian offshore environment in the 1980s to ensure more uniform implementation of control logic and make it available to other than just the programmer.

The method is embodied in NORSOK standard I-005 which the course will be based on. More and more oil companies require SCD in their projects and desire their personnel to possess this expertise.

System Control Diagrams (SCD) for the SAS system integrates control logic in an simplified process layout in order to facilitate quality assurance of logic by other disciplines. The methodology for building SCDs is developed in the Norwegian offshore environment and has now established itself as an important tool.

Target group: Employees in engineering, oil companies, suppliers and consultants. The course is aimed at anyone who needs to maintain and develop System Control Diagrams such as the automation engineers or technical designers with suppliers in engineering or operational organizations, but others who wish to gain a detailed insight into SCDs, will benefit from the course. Examples from other disciplines include Process, Electrical, HVAC and Mechanical discipline; control room operators; personel involved in completion.
