Control technology for practitioners

Target group:

Employees involved with startup, maintenance, and servicing who require detailed information about the basic
principles of control technology. Engineers and technicians involved in plant planning. All employees who would like to
refresh their knowledge of control technology.

Objectives:

After the seminar the participants will be able to select a controller that suits their control process and to configure,
operate, and optimize this controller.

Content:

The seminar covers basic theoretical principles of control technology and reinforces these during the training course with practical demonstrations. About 50% of this practice-oriented seminar consists of workshops.

• Basic principles of control technology
• Types of control processes
• The PID controller with continuous output and its control parameters P_b, r_t, and d_t
• Influence on the control response by P_b, r_t, and d_t
• Optimization methods
• Working with two-state, three-state, modulating controller, and position controllers
• Control loop structures (cascade control, disturbance feedforward control, etc.) and other controller functions
• Practical session: workshops on the subjects covered, additional practical exercises:
• Ratio control
• Controllers with direct control direction
• Optimization of a controller for disturbance behavior
• Processes without self-regulation and processes with exclusive delay time
• Operation of non-linear processes
• Split-range operation
