Description:
This overview of industrial measurement and control uses a generally non-mathematical approach. You will leave with a basis for communicating with control system professionals.
You will be able to:
- Utilize communication and knowledge, using the technical vocabulary, with measurement and control professionals
- Discuss the role of measurement and control in industrial processes
- Describe fundamentals of process control
- State the difference between continuous, batch, and discrete control
- Present samples of ISA standards to interpret symbols and drawings associated with process control documentation
- Recognize the of most common methods and devices used in temperature, pressure, level, and flow measurement
- Describe control valves and types
- Describe control system hardware, control modes and tuning concepts
You will cover:
- Concepts of Process Control: Definition | Types | What Industries Use Process Control? | Continuous vs. Batch Processing
- Documentation: Instrument Symbols and Identification | Piping and Instrumentation Drawings (P&IDs) | Loop Diagrams | Other Forms
- Flow Measurement: Definition | Orifice Plates | Flowmeters and Principles | Other Devices
- Level Measurement: Definition | Types of Devices
- Pressure Measurement: Definition | Types of Devices
- Temperature Measurement: Definition | Thermocouples | Resistance Temperature Detectors | Thermistors
- Final Control Elements: Control Valves | Actuators | Positioners | Applications
- Overview of Process Dynamics
- Control System Hardware: Controller Types | Transmission Methods | Personal Computers for Process Control
