Registration to open soon Process Control Essentials
Short Course
Event Description
This course will provide industrial bioprocess personnel with a better understanding of all elements in a PID control loop including the sensor, actuator, process, and controller. Participants will gain hands-on experience operating and tuning loops using pilot scale equipment. Several different tuning methods and control structures will be explored.
Benefits
Combining lecture and demonstrations, participants will gain the ability to:
- Define and understand concepts and parameters of PID control
- Evaluate the stability of different open and closed loop processes
- Identify and troubleshoot common control loop problems
- Tune control loops using different methods
- Apply and understand the advantages of cascade control loops over single PID control
Intended Audience
Plant operators, maintenance personnel, and engineers of any experience level who use or maintain control equipment and/or DCS systems. Participants will receive a certificate of completion which may be used to document professional development hours.
