Course Introduction
The measurement and control problem
In an industrial situation where it is required to measure and control some aspect of a process, it is often the application of the knowledge and the ingenuity of the engineer or technician which is relied upon to solve the measurement and control problem.
Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the principle of operation of a range of sensors/transducers and instrumentation techniques applicable in an industrial situation combined with an understanding and knowledge of process control techniques and tuning methods equips the engineer or technician with the necessary skills and makes them invaluable in their workplace.
In this training program, participants will investigate the operating principles and concepts of instrumentation and measurement systems and will acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of the variables being measured.
Moreover, the participants will gain an understanding of the Process control systems and methods used in a modern industrial system.
This is a hands-on, practical training program and where applicable, theoretical studies will be supplemented with practical activities where the delegate will have the opportunity to design, develop, build, test and evaluate their own instrumentation systems within the course room.
Course objective
- Understand the principles of operation of a range of sensors and transducers.
- Investigate the operation of an instrumentation system through designing, build and test typical sensor combined with appropriate signal conditioning circuits.
- Become familiar and confident with a range of measurement techniques.
- Understand the concepts of Process Control and acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of a process variable being measured.
- Become familiar and knowledgeable with PID control and develop the ability to ‘tune’ a process control system using PID control.
- Have the confidence and knowledge to apply the above techniques and principles to solve an unfamiliar and bespoke measurement situation in the workplace.
