Overview

Description

Process controls are designed and implemented within the process control system to facilitate basic operation, control and automation requirements. Controllers which are not correctly configured and tuned will not perform optimally and will not reduce variability in the process as they should. Technical staff should have sound knowledge on controller design, techniques for troubleshooting control problems and optimizing control loops.
This course is designed to help students to understand the concepts and components of process control and different controller types including PID, cascade and feed forward control.
After completing this course, students will have expert knowledge on the design, tuning ratio and troubleshooting of controllers.
