1. Objective and Contents:
a. Objectives 1. The basic principles & importance of process control in industrial process plants; 2. The required instrumentation and final elements to ensure that well-tuned control is achieved; 3. The use of block diagrams & the mathematical basis for the design of control systems; 4. The knowledge about the design and tuning of process (PID) controllers; 5. The use appropriate software tools (e.g. MATLAB Control Toolbox & Simulink) for the modeling of plant dynamics and the design of well-tuned control loops; 6. The importance and application of good instrumentation for the efficient design of process control loops for process engineering plants and sizing of control valves 7. PID (Process & Instrumentation Diagram) & devise simple but effective plant wide control strategies.
