Tuning Control Loops

Tuning Control Loops (TC05)

This course is directed to anyone who would like to gain a better understanding of how to tune control loops-whether they have tuned loops but would like to become more proficient or they have never tuned a loop before. Registrants are expected to have a basic understanding of instrumentation and controls (either by working experience or taking fundamental courses such as ISA's FG07: Introduction to Industrial Automation and Control) as this course does not cover that material.

You will be able to:

  • Define the concepts of PID control
  • Explain the operation of the components in a closed loop control system including static and dynamic functions
  • Identify the requirements for open loop and closed loop stability
  • Use three methods to tune a control system for stated quality control
  • Apply the functions of cascade control loops and the advantage of cascade control over single element feedback control
  • Tune a cascade control loop for optimum control
  • Apply the principles and design features of feedforward control
  • Tune a feedforward control system for optimum control
