PROCESS CONTROL-
PID LOOP DEVELOPMENT & TUNING

Tuesday, November 21, 2017
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

This course is designed for individuals who need to learn the following:
• How to make basic PID design decisions
• How to program and configure PIDE instructions using function block diagram
• How to tune basic PID loops using manual methods and ladder diagram
• How to auto-tune

In this basic-level course, you will learn the skills needed to obtain a tuned process control loop for typical applications. You will create and develop a process model; calculate proportional, integral, and derivative gains; verify gains using ladder diagrams; practice PID programming in function block diagrams and learn how to auto-tune typical PID loops.

This course enables you to develop an understanding of process control by allowing you to practice PID control methods for the majority of systems encountered on the job. Although it does not provide you with all skill needed for every situation, it does prepare you for further process control classes with more specialized applications and design involvement.
