Description

Optimizing the process with proper setting and tuning of control loops is necessary to increase quality consistency.  Correctly setting PID control loop parameters will result in a properly controlled process with a minimum of overshoot and instability while retaining excellent control response. Technical staff should have expert knowledge on process controls to identify and correct problems with process dead time. This course is designed to help students to understand the fundamentals of open and closed loop control used in the field of process control including continuous and damped cycling method.


After completing this course, students will have sound knowledge on the tuning methods to provide a stable and controllable process, thus increasing production and reducing shutdown events.
