Lecture/lab

Students will learn about the typical elements found in modern industrial control systems and then apply these devices to closed loop control of processes, including: pressure, flow, level, temperature, analytic and electro-mechanical systems. Control concepts examined, include: on-off, batch, proportional, integral, derivative, feedback, feedforward, cascade, ratio, multi element and open vs. closed loop tuning. They will also learn the characteristics of typical process variables and trouble-shooting techniques for closed loop systems. The course is 40 % lecture and 60 % lab.
