Industrial Measurement and Control
This course cover the measuring of the four main process variables, pressure, level, flow and temperature. Here we introduce the block diagram as part of the evaluation for quality of control. The Zeigler Nichols method of controller tuning is also examined along with other closed and open loop methods. The concept of negative feedback is explained and its effect on the quality of control.
Other methods of control are examined above and beyond proportional integarl and derivative control. Feedforward control is explained along with multi-variable control and the advantages and disadvantages of each are explained.
Methodology is formal classroom based lectures with video, DVD and CBT to enhance the experience. Assessment is by mumltiple choice test papers and where applicable, practical exercises.
Each delegate will receive a quality manual covering in detail all the subjects covered in the course and in some depth. Further, the same materials are presented in soft copy format on CD-ROM.
