APC105: Model and Build Aspen DMC3 controllers using Aspen DMC3 Builder - FlexClass

This is the FlexClass version of our popular APC105: Model and Build Aspen DMC3 controllers using Aspen DMC3 for APC Engineers course. This version is delivered through a combination of rigorous workshop modules and recorded lectures that you can complete over 4 weeks with live, expert-led sessions, and hand-on workshops. Students usually spend 8 to 12 hours per week to complete this online course.


In this course you will acquire the skills and knowledge required to participate on or lead a team charged with the development, deployment, and maintenance of Advanced Process Control applications. You will learn how to use an Aspen DMC3 Model to identify a controller model before implementing the controller online and gain increased effectiveness in basic troubleshooting of Aspen DMC3 controllers.


This course is a combination of APC120: Introduction to aspenONE Advanced Process Control - Operating and Maintaining Controllers Online, and APC125: Introduction to Aspen Process Controller Builder - Modeling and Building Controllers for Industrial Processes.
