Fundamentals of Instrumentation and
Process Control highlights sensors, transducers and
smart transmitters; temperature, pressure and flow
measurement; valves and pumps; among other important topics
related to the physical layer of a plant’s control
environment. It also explores the critical relationship
between process instrumentation and PID control systems.

A good refresher
course that brought things back to the basics.
It presented concepts in a different way than I
had previously learned.

Who Should Attend
This
two-day, hands-on workshop is intended for plant personnel who operate and
maintain the core process control infrastructure at your site.
What You Will Learn
We focus on practical knowledge and proven techniques. You
will gain the understanding needed to accurately
evaluate instrumentation-related issues, assess the impact of
instrumentation on existing PID control systems, and improve control
over your plant’s business-critical processes.
Two Day Curriculum
Day One provides an
introduction to the dynamic behavior of processes and
explores the central role of instrumentation on measuring
and controlling process behavior. You will explore common
measurement methods and issues associated with
instrumentation. Equipped with a better understanding of a
plant’s physical control environment, You will then learn how
effective instrumentation practices can help to achieve
optimal plant performance.
Day One topics include:
· Introduction to Process
Dynamics and Control
· Sensors, Transducers and
Instrumentation Signals
· Measurement Sampling and
Aliasing
· Sensor Resolution,
Accuracy and Precision
· Measuring Temperature and
Pressure
· Measuring Level and Flow
· Final Control Elements:
Pumps and Valves
· Best Practices and
Trouble Shooting
Day Two expands on the function and
application of devices as applied to measurement and
control. You will learn techniques for identifying and
evaluating underperforming PID controllers. Equipped with a
systematic approach for analysis and communication,
You will possess the core capabilities needed to
effectively improve plant monitoring and control.
Day Two topics include:
· Understanding
Process Behavior as a Dynamic Event
· The Link Between
Process Dynamics and Process Control
· A Step-By-Step Approach To
Controller Design and Tuning
· Integral Action and PI
Control
· Derivative Action and PID
Control
· The Role of Signal Filtering
in Control
