Content Training Methodology
Introduction

Although the subject of many hundreds of articles, books, and courses, the basic elements of automatic process control are still widely misunderstood.  Worse, the majority of control systems are misapplied.  Research carried out by ISA and other bodies indicates that up to 75% of all loops will oscillate when operated in automatic.

This workshop, Process Instrumentation: Process Control and Loop Tuning, is designed to provide engineers and technicians with the basic theoretical and practical understanding of the process loop and how this can be applied to optimize process control in terms of quality, safety, flexibility and costs.

Personal impact
On successful completion of this workshop delegates will be able to:
  • understand the fundamentals of Process Control
  • analyze such problems as valve hysteresis, stiction and non linearities
  • fully appreciate the effects of proportional, integral and derivative control
  • correctly apply both open and closed Loop Tuning according to Ziegler Nichols
  • apply Lambda Tuning
  • realize the effects of filtering on loop performance
  • value the effect of valve sizing on control loop performance
  • recognize the effect of different control algorithms on loop tuning performance
  • understand cascade and feedforward control
  • identify and correct problems with process dead time
Organisational impact

Following the training and development experience provided by this workshop, participants will return to their organizations equipped with new skills and knowledge that will enable them to understand, analyse, and optimize automatic control when applied to a closed loop industrial control system.

By leveraging these skills your enterprise can expect an improvement in overall productivity, safety, and flexibility, coupled with a reduction in costs, through the ability to analyze problems and successfully tune PID loops.

Workshop objectives
Designed for both novice and experienced engineers and technicians, this workshop provides an insight into modern closed loop control practices through an in-depth investigation into the four basic elements of any control system:
  • the process;
  • the transducer (sensing element plus transmitter);
  • the final control element; and
  • the controller.
Throughout the workshop, participants will learn through active participation using exercises, questionnaires, and practical simulation sessions covering:
  • process reaction
  • tuning methods
  • diagnostic tools
  • affect of different algorithms
