Objective
After completing this course, you will be able to
- explain the main operating principles in measuring and controlling levels, temperatures, pressures and flows
- realize PID controllers
- analyze the relationship of process dynamics and PID controller tuning
- realize and commission basic instrumentation and motor loops in programmable logic controllers (PLC).
Content
How to control automatically the level of a tank, the temperature of a fluid, the flow in a pipeline or the pressure of steam, and thus improve the energy efficiency of a process?
How does a PID controller compute the control signal to an actuator in a feedback control loop, and how are the tuning parameters specified?
How do differential equations and Laplace transfer function models describe process dynamics, and how are these models applied to Matlab Simulink for simulations?
How to make a program for a measurement, feedback control or pump control in a programmable logic controller (PLC)?
