List of Micro Learning Modules (MLMs)
|
|
The following list of MLMs is ordered by sequencial number and alphabetic extension (e.g. MLM-001-A)
Each MLM may include:
- A PDF (Portable Document Format) version that contains presentation slides and written narrative (below each slide),
- An MP4 video file including slides with spoken narrative and animations,
- A PPTX (MS PowerPoint file) that may be provided to facilitate comments or creating customized versions.
MLMs are intended to be used with Learning Maps, PERA User Guides, and White Papers. They may also be downloaded for use in presentations, courses, or SCORM teaching modules.
- MLM-003A: Enterprise Lifecycles and Phases - This MLM describes the PERA Enterprise Lifecycles including: Enterprise lifecycles, Facility lifecycles, Automation and Control System (ACS) lifecycles, and Project lifecycles. It also discusses “Phases” within these lifecycles, and describes typical phases used by “Principal Roles” including Owner/Operators, Engineering Contractors, and System Integrators.
- MLM-004A: PERA Enterprise Classes - This MLM describes the PERA Enterprise Classification System, which is based on common characteristics of Enterprise production facilities. It also discusses alternative industry classification systems used by ISA 62443, and the North American Industry Classification System..
- MLM-007A: ACS + IT + OT Definitions - discusses terminology and concepts for use of OT networks and devices to supplement or replace ACS networks.
- MLM-014A: ACS + IT + OT Definitions - discusses terminology and concepts for use of OT networks and devices to supplement or replace ACS networks.
- MLM-014B: ACS + IT + OT Tradeoffs - discusses use of OT networks and devices to supplement or replace ACS.
- MLM-034-A: Cyber Secure IT-ACS Interfacing - discusses an architectural approach to creating secure "interfaces" rather than attemptng to "merge" or "integrate" IT and Industrial Automation and Control Systems. Integration can lead to cyber vulnerabilities and maintenance difficulties that can be avoided with secure, managed interfaces.
- MLM-035-A: Cyber Secure PLC and RTU Concepts - This Micro-Learning Module discusses principles for the design and operation of PLCs and RTUs. It describes the components of a PLC, the cybersecurity risks, and the vulnerabilities it involves.
- MLM-035-B: Guidelines for engineers who are creating or modifying PLC software to control plant equipment. These guidelines are practical for all IEC 61311 programming languages, including Ladder Logic, Function Blocks, Structured Text, and Sequential Function Charts.
- MLM-037-A: Cybersecure Plant Maintenance Procedures This MLM describes plant maintenance practices to limit the risk from cybersecurity attacks.
- MLM-090-A: An Engineer's View of AI in Process Industry This MLM provides an overview of AI and how it may be applied in Process Industry plants.
- MLM-091-A: Plant AI and Human Interfaces This MLM describes AI to Human Interfaces, and associated risks in Process Industry Plants.
