Description

ELT 232 Process Control
3 Credits (2 lecture 1 Lab 0 Shop)
4 Hrs/Wk (2 Hrs. Lecture 2 Hrs. Lab) *15 wks
This course is a continuation of Process Measurement and explores the characteristics of common feedback control loops. The mechanisms for an application of various process control systems with different algorithms for control are explored. The dynamics of centrifugal pumping, TDH (total dynamic head) and system curve analysis are plotted and evaluated. Single control loops using temperature controllers along with digital chart recorders are used to show proper PID (proportional integral and derivative) tuning. Controller tuning with dead time, overshoot and proper decay ratios are studied using Ziegler-Nichols closed loop and open loop tuning. Many types of elements, (sensing and actuating), are evaluated for proper industrial applications. The student will be able to demonstrate proficiency in the process control fundamentals, and techniques in the lab. Prerequisites: EL
