ABOUT THIS ONLINE COURSE

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 :

  • functioning

  • design

  • tuning of process controls and PID* controllers

Useful 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.

* When PID is mentioned, it is with reference to Proportional, Integral and Derivative control actions

  • 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
  • Personnel needing to learn the essentials of process control and PID controllers
  • Control, Process, Chemical and Design engineers & technicians
  • Instrumentation engineers & technicians
  • Maintenance engineers & technicians
  • Experienced personnel as a refresher course and to broaden their knowledge
  • Instructional designers and those involved in writing manuals and operational procedures
  • Anyone else with an interest in how process control and PID controllers should be designed, tuned and used in process industries
  • 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
