Training Programme on diagnosis and trouble-shooting of
PCBs to enhance technicians'/engineers' diagnostic capability
and productivity.
| In these days of complex electronic systems with
extensive use of digital technology, surface mount
components, multiplayer PCBs etc, trouble shooting
can no longer be based only on individual intuition
and experience. Repairing an Electronic Equipment is
like treating a patient. Besides the support of sophisticated
and costly equipment, the Doctor's ability to diagnose
is a vital factor for the ultimate success. |
|
| Be it health care or trouble shooting correct diagnosis
is vital to success. Basic understanding of Electronic Devices
and Circuits, learning to use Oscilloscope or In-circuit
Tester, hands-on practice on soldering and de-soldering -
all these are necessary skills. But for successful and efficient
trouble shooting of an electronic equipment, the Technician
/ Engineer must, in addition posses the necessary ability
and skills to trouble shoot and diagnose, what is wrong with
an equipment or PCB. |
| A formal and systematic treatment of the subject through
a careful developed training process has become an absolute
necessity. Such training programme will enhance the diagnostic
capability and productivity of your technicians and engineers.
Until now most of the training available in the area of repair
of electronic equipment have either been product specific,
generally designed and delivered by the concerned product
Engineer or they have been on the usage of test and measuring
instruments, in-circuit testers, ATE etc. |
| With the rapid change in the technology, the narrow product
specific view is no longer adequate. The Service Engineers
/ Technicians need to develop a holistic approach to trouble
shoot and repair. MELSS programme on "The Art and Science
of Trouble Shooting", besides covering the standard
approaches to trouble shooting, opens a new process dimension;
this will help significantly in improving the productivity
of the participants. |
Understanding
- Take a generic view of the role and function of any electronic
system
- Understand how information is represented and moved
in a electronic system with special focus on digital
systems
- Looking at and practice the Mental Processes of Understanding
Electronic Equipment
- Understand the various types of faults, failure
modes and their causes.
Approach
- Problem solving techniques
- Understand through case studies, to differentiate between
the right and the wrong methods of approaching
a problem
- Understand / Practice through case studies about the
scientific techniques and methods that can be used
to problem solving
Attitude
- Become aware (through case studies) the mental blocks,
traps and other attitudinal issues that hinder the process
of trouble shooting and how to avoid them
Testing
- Role of testing , the right and the wrong approaches
to testing
- Testing strategies, test techniques, methods and equipment
- Automatic test equipment and their role in electronic
maintenance
Rework
- Process issues related to soldering and desoldering
- Surface Mount Technology and techniques of SMT removal
