Troubleshooting Flow Chart (PLC, DCS, SCADA) - this chart is meant to help those who are not savvy with control system software but still have to troubleshoot field problems on modern control systems. Ideally a technician will have the necessary training and experience to also troubleshoot using the applicable software and online monitoring tools, but many times it is impractical to do so or the software must be controlled tightly. In those cases, this can be very helpful for technicians as they attempt to identify and localize field failures and problems.
