Course Overview

The Instrumentation Overview (ICS-110) by Rockwell Automation is a foundational course designed for Instrumentation Technicians and I&C technicians seeking to understand the core principles of instrumentation loops. This one-day instructor-led training covers the components, function, and design of instrument loops, including control signals and loop construction. Participants should have basic knowledge of electrical concepts to fully benefit. With industrial automation projected to grow significantly, and Rockwell Automation systems deployed across over 80% of Fortune 500 manufacturing facilities, this course addresses a critical skills gap in maintaining and troubleshooting modern control systems. The curriculum is structured to provide immediate, job-relevant knowledge for roles such as process control technicians and field service engineers.

Students engage with key Rockwell Automation technologies and tools through hands-on lab exercises using official lab guides and student manuals. The course emphasizes practical skills such as identifying instruments within a loop, explaining component functions, and constructing a basic instrumentation loop. All technology is provided in the classroom, allowing learners to focus on building real-world configurations during integrated lab exercises. A key component of the training is the hands-on practice session where students assemble and test instrument loops under guided instruction, simulating scenarios encountered in plant environments. These exercises reinforce theoretical knowledge and ensure competency in foundational instrumentation tasks.

While the Instrumentation Overview (ICS-110) does not lead to a formal certification exam, it serves as a prerequisite for advanced Rockwell Automation training paths, including the ICS-125 Introduction to HART Communications. Graduates gain recognized skills that support career advancement in industrial automation, where instrumentation technicians earn an average salary of $78,000 in the U.S., with senior roles exceeding $95,000. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with official Rockwell Automation courseware and Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, ensuring reliable access to training. Completing this course equips professionals with the foundational expertise needed to progress into specialized control system roles and higher-level certification programs.
