ME-200-3 - Workshop: Troubleshooting and Control Loop Tuning
Objectives
This course will allow you to improve the performance of PID-based control systems.
You will learn how to:
- Analyze loops, find problems, and determine the proper process model
- Use appropriate methods of controller tuning based on the type of process, the desired performance, and the significance of interacting loops
- Choose the proper controller type
- Draw the maximum benefits from existing equipment by optimizing the control loop
Who should attend
Anyone involved in diagnosing control-related problems, or responsible for increasing loop performance.
Schedule
From 8:30 am to noon and from 1:00 pm to 4:30 pm, every day.
