This course provides students with a general understanding of the Westinghouse Common Q Platform, based on the Advant Controller 160 (AC160) Process Control System and associated system hardware and engineering tools used to configure and program the system. Students conduct laboratory exercises using these tools to create and/or modify various program applications using a Westinghouse-supplied AC160 training system. This course is intended for Engineers and I&C Technicians who require a general understanding of the Common Q Platform hardware and software, and the engineering tools used to configure and program the AC160. No prior knowledge of, or experience with, the Westinghouse Common Qualified Platform or AC160 is required. However, it is desirable that trainees have a general background in microprocessor-based information and control systems, and understand basic process control and logic concepts.
