Instrumentation and Control: Automatic Process Control, Part 1

0.32 Hrs
SKU: AOIA100CEN

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the basic concepts associated with automatic control of process systems. After completing this course, participants should be able to describe the functions of the four basic elements of an automatic process control system and explain how a process disturbance can affect a process control system. They should also be able to explain how feedback control and feedforward control can be used in process control systems. In addition, participants should be able to explain how resistance, capacitance, dead time, and lag time can affect a process control system.
