INSTRUMENTATION, CONTROLS & ELECTRICAL 13
INTERMEDIATE 5-DAY
This workshop provides instrumentation,
automation, and process engineers and
technicians with the basic theoretical and
practical understanding of regulatory control
systems and how this can be applied to optimize
process control in terms of quality, safety,
flexibility, and costs. Centered on the ISA-
recommended PC-Control LAB simulator,
participants will learn through active participation
using exercises, questionnaires, and a series of
16 practical simulation sessions covering:
process reaction; tuning methods; diagnostic
tools; effect of different algorithms; surge tank
level control; analysis of such problems as valve
hysteresis, stiction and non-linearities and the
impact on controllability; and integral windup.
