INST-2002Instrumentation Control Systems Design 2
This course builds on and further develops the topics introduced in INST-1004 and INST-1006. Further topics in the Fluid Mechanics are intended to deepen the students' understanding of principles and design concepts commonly used in industry. The theoretical basis and practical implementation of PID control is introduced, along with an explanation of historical tuning methods and model based tuning concepts. Basic first and second order systems will be analyzed. Transfer functions of selected control operators will be introduced and analyzed with Laplace transform methods. Control valve theory and terminology will be introduced, coupled with hands on mechanical experience. Cascade and Feed-Forward process control concepts will be covered.
