Course Code
Academic Year
"The course will provide the participant with a working knowledge of process control concepts and terminology. Feedback, Cascade and Ratio control applications will be studied. Open and closed loop analysis will assist the student in understanding the dynamics of a particular process application. Consideration of the interaction between the process signal transmitter, final control element, controller and the process will be made throughout the course. Students will learn the principles of all controller modes namely: on-off, differential gap, proportional, integral, and derivative. Standard controller tuning methods will be applied to each loop for optimum operation. Students will use Instrument Society of America (ISA) symbols and for process and instrument diagrams. Given process conditions students will determine control valve sizing by calculation and program software for both liquid and gas applications. Fisher controls valve sizing formulas and data will be used during the course. Fail safe practices will be utilized at all times for the design and selection of process control equipment.
