They provide advantages like backtracking, initializing conditions, and evaluating trainee performance. Overall, intelligent instruments and simulators have enhanced power plant monitoring, control, and training.
The document discusses the evolution of process control systems from early pneumatic and analog electronic implementations to modern digital implementations using distributed control systems (DCS). It describes the key components and advantages of DCS, including flexibility, reliability, and the ability to implement advanced digital control strategies. DCS networks allow different control modes and distributed control for large, complex processes.
SCADA systems gather data from widely distributed processes and provide limited control capabilities over distant facilities. They consist of field instruments that collect data and control loops that regulate processes. Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) gather information from field devices and send it to a Master Terminal Unit (MTU) via communications networks. The MTU allows operators to monitor and control the system through a human-machine interface. SCADA systems are used to supervise critical infrastructure like pipelines and power grids over large areas.

Analysis of reinforced concrete deep beam is based on simplified approximate method due to the complexity of the exact analysis. The complexity is due to a number of parameters affecting its response. To evaluate some of this parameters, finite element study of the structural behavior of the reinforced self-compacting concrete deep beam was carried out using Abaqus finite element modeling tool. The model was validated against experimental data from the literature. The parametric effects of varied concrete compressive strength, vertical web reinforcement ratio and horizontal web reinforcement ratio on the beam were tested on eight (8) different specimens under four points loads. The results of the validation work showed good agreement with the experimental studies. The parametric study revealed that the concrete compressive strength most significantly influenced the specimens’ response with the average of 41.1% and 49 % increment in the diagonal cracking and ultimate load respectively due to doubling of concrete compressive strength. Although the increase in horizontal web reinforcement ratio from 0.31 % to 0.63 % lead to average of 6.24 % increment on the diagonal cracking load, it does not influence the ultimate strength and the load-deflection response of the beams. Similar variation in vertical web reinforcement ratio leads to an average of 2.4 % and 15 % increment in cracking and ultimate load respectively with no appreciable effect on the load-deflection response.
In tube drawing process, a tube is pulled out through a die and a plug to reduce its diameter and thickness as per the requirement. Dimensional accuracy of cold drawn tubes plays a vital role in the further quality of end products and controlling rejection in manufacturing processes of these end products. Springback phenomenon is the elastic strain recovery after removal of forming loads, causes geometrical inaccuracies in drawn tubes. Further, this leads to difficulty in achieving close dimensional tolerances. In the present work springback of EN 8 D tube material is studied for various cold drawing parameters. The process parameters in this work include die semi-angle, land width and drawing speed. The experimentation is done using Taguchi’s L36 orthogonal array, and then optimization is done in data analysis software Minitab 17. The results of ANOVA shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle,5 mm land width and 6 m/min drawing speed yields least springback. Furthermore, optimization algorithms named Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA) are applied which shows that 15 degrees die semi-angle, 10 mm land width and 8 m/min drawing speed results in minimal springback with almost 10.5 % improvement. Finally, the results of experimentation are validated with Finite Element Analysis technique using ANSYS.

What is ‘Automation’?
"the creation and application of technology to monitor and control the production and
delivery of products and services.”
Automation involves a very broad range of technologies including robotics and
expert systems, telemetry and communications, electro-optics, Cybersecurity, process
measurement and control, sensors, wireless applications, systems integration, test
measurement, and many, many more.
Automation can be applied into various industries:
• Manufacturing, including food and pharmaceutical, chemical and petroleum, pulp
and paper, electronics, industrial machinery, plastics, and metal
• Transportation, including automotive, aerospace, and rail
• Utilities, including water and wastewater, oil and gas, electric power, and
telecommunications
• Facility operations, including security, environmental control, energy
management, safety, and other building automation

4. Manufacturing Process
• General Process
• Three types manufacturing processes
1. Continuous
2. Batch (ANSI/ISA-88)
3. Discrete

What to make
and use?
e.g. tools, machine
How to make it?

6. Processes Control
• Discrete Control
• Information – one of two states such as ON-OFF, OPEN-CLOSED, RUN-STOP.
• Electromechanical relay – the first automatic switch used
• Electricians called the assemblies of relays on the panels “relay ladders”
• Initial language of PLC – ladder logic or ladder diagram (IEC61131-3)
Electromechanical relay
7. Processes Control
• Continuous Control
• Information from sensing elements to actuating devices are varying between
minimum and maximum limits
• Simple control loop consists of: Process, Measurement devices and the
Controller
• Two primary dynamic characteristics: Dead time (time for process to react for
a change) and Lag (how quick a process to response)
• Set points determine values of the flows, levels, temp., speeds, and other plant
process variables, etc.
At first the process variable does nothing (dead time) and
then it begins changing (Lag) until finally it settles out at a new level.
9. Control Strategies
• Most common feedback control loops in industrial process – proportional-integral-
derivative (PID) control algorithm
The derivative term (D_term) is the
least used of the three terms, most
controllers are based on PI control
algorithms. Introducing the Kd term is
generally used in specific control
systems. The derivative term can be
used to predict system behaviour,
improving settling time.

10. Control Strategies
• 90-95% of the Industrial market applications based
on PID
• Why need other control strategies, e.g. Model
Predictive control (MPC)
Model Predictive Control (MPC) versus
Proportional-Integrate-Derivative (PID) control.
When using MPC control, the driver determines
('calculates') his driving strategy before departure
after careful investigation of the road. When he
uses the correct information (input variables), he
stays on the road (yellow car), but small errors in
input variables can lead the car in the wrong
direction (red and blue cars). The drivers using PID
control readjust their driving strategy often by
frequently calculating the difference with the 'ideal'
track.

12. Process Control Systems
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
The PLC was invented in response to the needs of the American automotive
manufacturing industry primarily to replace thousands of relays, cam timers, and
drum sequencers.
The big advantage was that programmable logic controllers could be reconfigured
with software programming rather than rewiring control panels.
The automotive industry is still one of the largest users of PLCs.
• Distributed Control System (DCS)
The first DCS (TDC 2000) was introduced by Honeywell TDC 2000 in 1975.
First system to use microprocessors to perform direct digital control of processes
as an integrated part of the system.
Computer-based process control systems before the TDC 2000 were mainly data
collection and alarm systems with controlled done by pneumatic loop controllers
and standalone electronic PID controllers.
