I am fresh out of college and recently joined a major refinery as an instrumentation engineer and i have been assigned the Hydrotreater Unit.

The PLC there is TRICON 1131.
Please give me some tips/suggestions/manual for completely knowing that system. like from where should i start and how should i proceed for handling the software as well as the hardware parts...

Thanks in advance,
vipul

First, get the literature on the system. Here's a sample of what you can find just by googling the name of the system:

ite_03-10.pdf

Next, get your supervisor to agree to let you take a class on the system:

Here's a class from Invensys that is taught all over the world:

http://iomtraining.invensys.com/courses/index.cfm?fuseaction=loadCourseCont
ent&coursecontentid=2493&calendarid=45

Once you have done that, you will know the system. If you get interested in safety instrumented systems as a class, you might want to explore becoming certified as a safety system professional.

Best of luck in your new job!
