Control Basics
WHAT IS CONTROL
pnumatic and hydrolic control
Classic control (relay and contactor circuits)
Microcontroller and microprocessor
Plc
Dcs
Scada
CONTROL HISTORY
CONTROL LEVELS
You must at least have the ability to understand this schematics
types
Pnumatic and hydrolic circuits
Classic control circuits
plc and dcs programming languages
P&ID
Instrumentation documents
PHYSICAL VALUES
Instrumentation will only give measurement at certain value
but other then this value you can’t know the actual value
DISCRETE INSTRUMENTAION
Instrumentation that give the measuring value over full range all
the time not only a preset value
ANALOUGE INSTRUMENTATION
Switches output is digital value .it can be 0 Vdc represent 0
And 24 Vdc represent 1,voltages change as designer may use dc
or ac voltages with different values to represent the physical
value
SWITCHES SIGNALS
SWITCHES WIRING
Normally open ,normally close

SOLONOIDS,RELAYS AND
CONTACTORS
Solonoids types
Relays mechanism
Contactors
Classic control examples
SOLONOIDS IDEA
DC solonoids more safe to use and hard to be destroyed by over
current but have low magnetic force than AC counterparts
So when ac solonoids used we must use fuses to protect it from
over current happened from stuck rod or rod forced movement
AC VS DC SOLONOIDS
In relays we use coil to change the switch position so we can
control another circuit which maybe have higher voltage and
protect the first circuit at same time
This type is good for single phase circuits but its switching time
is big and using mechanical parts mean they may melt with high
current Or broken from movement after some time
MECHANICAL RELAYS
They have low switching time but have lower current rating than
mechanical relays ,used when there is a lot of switching happend
CONTACTORS
Now we can understand electric circuits drawings
And here are some examples
VALVES,PNEUMATICS AND
HYDRAULICS
Valves can be catagorized by too many ways likes
Shut off or control valves
Rotary or linear valves
Pnumatic ,hydraulics,solonoid and motorized valves
Gate,globe,knive,needle,butterfly
VALVES TYPES
GATE,GLOBE,DIAPHRAGM AND
NEEDLE VALVES
BALL,BUTTERFLY AND BLUG VALVE
INSTRUMENTATION VALVES
CHECK VALVES
AIR REGULATORS
To operate shut off valves we use directional valves to control
the direction of flow to or from the actuator of shut off valve
Most famous types of directional valves are 3/2,4/2,5/2 valves
IO SIGNALS
Digital signals represent by one or zero and one could 24vdc,48
vdc,220vac,110vac or many other values depend on the system
itself
There is now inbetween values (it’s one or zero)
We use digital input card for this signal and connet it to switchs,
buttons
