Industrial control is a general term that describes several
types of control systems used in the industrial and infrastructure
sectors.
It involves electrical and automation installation, typically in
industries such as electricity, water, oil and gas. Specifically,
it encompasses circuit design and modification, hardware and
software functioning and fault finding. Measurement, installation,
test commissioning and safety are also key aspects of industrial
control.
Professionals mainly work on industrial sites and should be able
to install cables, instruments and devices, as well as being able
to problem solve in areas such as programmable logic and relay
control.
