DCS course

Knight,

Please provide additional information. Is your goal to teach a group of maintenance workers how to keep a specific system in good working order in one week? Or will you be teaching a group of high school kids the basics of distributed control systems in an hour? DCS is a very generic term. You may find some help here, but you should communicate what it is that you are seeking.

dear mr. gigo

thanks for your care and attension ...actually i am asked to teach my colleagues engineers and technicans ,for 1 week, a course about DCS so kindly if u have any any thing about DCS plz send to me

thanks

hi mr gigo

thanks again for your care and attension ...herunder an index for a DCS course ...i am looking for the course itself plz forward me it if u have

thanks

yours
