1.
General Review of Process, Process Control and Automation :Different Process
Variables for process control with case studies, Characteristic parameters of a
typical process plant, a self regulation, potential value, process reaction rate,
process time lag, process resistance and capacitance etc.
2.
Characteristics and functions of different modes of control actions – ON-OFF,
Multistep, P, PI, PD, PID controllers.
3.
Generation of Control Action in pneumatic & electronic controller, construction
of different controllers.
4. Tuning of Controller – open loop & closed loop methods.
