Course on Primary Process Control and Tuning that explains the fundamentals required for this Course. Course can be found on our Udemy profile.
2-year or 4-year degree in engineering or operations. A few months of plant/ engineering experience is desirable, but not required.
Description
At the end of the course, attendees will be able to study a process and its P&IDs and talk to the right people in the plant or control room and then design and build powerful controllers in the DCS/PLC. Attendees will become skilled in PID tuning, feedforward implementation, and parameter specification for all types of controllers in the DCS/PLC.Further, using scientific process control methods and software products they will be able to calculate tuning and other DCS parameters precisely, thus eliminating guesswork and generating precise, optimized control action.The course also trains attendees on how to be careful while activating and commissioning new control schemes, avoiding mistakes, and starting up a control chain in the right sequence.This course is all you will ever need to use the full potential of the DCS or PLC and build powerful new controllers to stabilize plant operation and push against economic, market, process, and equipment constraints. Attendees will also learn when to use traditional advanced control and when to use multivariable model- predictive control, a very practical and useful skill.
