IE0131 : Understanding and Tuning Controllers and Control Loops

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art valve simulators.

 

This course is designed to provide an introduction to process control to engineers and other technical staff. It teaches the base fundamentals, as well as open and closed loop tuning methods. The course is developed with field tuning in mind, not control design.

 

The course will discuss the control fundamentals and terminology including the principles, control loop as well as the various types and right selection of control valve and describes the process control methods and characteristics of control valve.

 

It illustrates the different tuning rules available and explains the fundamentals of control systems, proper tuning of PID controllers, the concepts and application of feed forward control, auto tuning and new developments and troubleshooting tuning.

 

The various types of control valves, actuators and valve selection will also be discussed during the course
