 IMPORTANCE OF PROCESS CONTROL

 SAFETY
 PRODUCT QUALITY
 PRODUCTION RATES
 REDUCE ENERGY
 What does a control system do?
◦ Maintain certain variables within some limit
e.g temperature in a room

 Why we need to control a process?

◦ Because processes are dynamic – changes always
occurred, and processes are not in steady state.
 There are many applications where part or all
of a process has to be controlled. e.g.
 temperature
 pressure
 flow
 level
 composition
 others
 Manual Control
◦ Before process automation, people, rather than
machines, performed many of the process control
tasks. Control operations that involve human action
to make an adjustment are called manual control
systems.

 Automatic Control
◦ Control operations in which no human intervention
is required, are called automatic control systems

Thought of the day …..

You use manual control every day ......LIST SOME of THEM .

(System) Products (output)

Question of the day …..

In every systems, there are variables . What is variable ?
