ELTR2464 Process Control

This course gives students the basic understanding of process control and elements of feedback control loop. Control valves, their selection, calibration, installation, and repair will be explored. Various control strategies including on-off, proportional (P), proportional-integral (PI), and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) will be covered. Different methods of controller tuning will be practiced. Advanced control strategies such as cascade, ratio and feedforward will also be covered. Methods of signal transmission in process control loops will be taught. Students will set up and operate various process control loops and analyze their performance. All laboratory experiments including control loops configuration, controllers tuning, process graphics (HMI) design, and loops operation, will be conducted using Rockwell PlantPAx Process Automation System and CompactLogix controllers.
