We begin this course by providing a firm foundation in the important fundamentals of PID control. We then explore a host of advanced methods popular in current industrial practice. For all topics, you will gain hands-on experience in tuning controllers and testing algorithm performance using Control Station's "Case Studies" training modules.
The course is designed for a mixed audience including those who have had some training in the past and seek a refresher course, and those who have not had much formal training but desire to learn more. The math is kept to a minimum because we focus on applying methods rather than deriving them.
This course does not focus on how to use a software package. Rather, we teach you methods that apply to any control analysis and tuning software you may use.
Day 1: - Process Data Collection and Analysis - Modeling Process Dynamics for Controller Design - Tuning PI, PID and PID w/ Filter Controllers - Nonlinear Behavior and Adaptive Control
Day 2: - Optimizing PID Performance for Industrial Applications - Cascade Control Design and Tuning - Feed Forward and Decoupling Control - Model Based Smith Predictor for Dead Time Compensation
Attendees receive more than 300 pages of written materials detailing modern methods and practices in process control, plus a fully functional copy of Control Station so you can continue to learn and grow in a self-paced mode for months after the course.
