A practical approach to process control , control Loops , PID controllers & tuning using real-world process examples
What you'll learn
Learn the essentials of process controls and PID controllers for a successful career in process industries
Successfully draw the correct information from basic to advanced process control loops
Master the intricate terminological details of process control (process variable, set point, error, offset, load disturbance...)
Identify any process control loop and describe its main tasks and functionalities
Describe the basic function and method of operation for the main control loop components (sensor, transmitter, controller, actuator, control valve...)
Differentiate between feedback and feedforward control loops
Explain the basic implementation process for each of the following types of control: Cascade, ratio, split range.
Differentiate between On/Off, discrete, multi-step and continuous controllers
Describe the basic mechanism, pros and cons of the following modes of control action: On/Off, Proportional (P), Integral (I), Derivative (D), PI, PID...
Describe the general goal of PID controller tuning
Apply the Ziegler Nicholls method to tune P, PI and PID controllers for optimum performance
Put your knowledge to the test at the end of each section with a valuable technical quiz (160+ questions and solved problems)
Requirements
Some engineering or field knowledge is preferable but not mandatory. All the concepts are explained in depth using an-easy-to-understand language to allow students to build their knowledge from the ground up
Having attended our "Introduction to Process Control & Instrumentation" training course is a plus but not mandatory
Please note that the mathematics in the PID section is undemanding. All the work can be done with a hand-held calculator
Description
Control in process industries refers to the regulation of all aspects of the process. Precise control of level, temperature, pressure and flow is important in many process applications.Designed around a series of practical examples which we work through to a solution, this valuable course is an essential guide to a complete understanding of :functioningdesigntuning of process controls and PID* controllersUseful reference data, technical recommendations, field observations and numerous process control schemes are presented in an-easy-to-use format.The course also cautions the process control engineer that the performance of a properly designed process control system can be severely compromised when used in conjunction with incorrect PID* controller settings.PID* controller tuning guidelines and their rationale according to the Ziegler Nicholls method, as well as some precautions, are offered to ensure optimum performance.Typical tuning examples have been included to assist in understanding how specific formulae are applied.In addition, you will find at the end of each section a technical quiz to test your knowledge. If you pass : wonderful ! If not, you can watch the video lectures again or ask us for help in the Q&A section.So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.Thank you for your interest in our online courses. We hope to see you there.WR TrainingSpread the wings of your knowledge* When PID is mentioned, it is with reference to Proportional, Integral and Derivative control actions
