PRIMARY AND ADVANCED PROCES CONTROL TRAINING

Classroom, on-line (live) or self-paced training in practical industrial process control 

PID 100: TRAINING ON PID TUNING

This course on primary process control starts with the basics of process control, explains the PID equation in the time domain and then trains attendees to optimally tune PID controllers and make control changes on various industrial processes and machines. The course makes use of modern real- time PID simulation software that realistically mimic various processes like heat-exchangers, distillation columns, surge control on compressors etc.. In this way, the attendees will gain practicle insight and skills.

This online PID training exists in two versions:

• 3 interactive webinar sessions of 2 hours each
• Online videos that can be watched at your own rythm over the course of a week. Students can call instructor at specific hours for clarifications.

Besides the 6 hours of training, participants are expected to spend an additional 8 to 12 hours for exercises and tests. These exercises and tests could be made during or after the training, since each participant will receive a 7 day temporary license to our PID control simulation software SIMCET and our system identification and PID/APC simulation and tuning software PITOPS.

PROGRAM

DAY 1

• What is process control?
• When to use which PID equation?
• When do you need filtering?

DAY 2

• How to tune a controller?
• How to find the optimal PID parameters?
• Lab sessions with SIMCET
