Process Control Systems & PID

This course provides a practical understanding of industrial process control systems used in modern engineering and process industries. It covers the fundamentals and applications of Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) in process automation. Participants will learn how feedback and feed-forward control strategies are applied to maintain stable and efficient process operations. The course explains cascade control and its applications for improving process response and control performance. It provides a detailed understanding of PID controllers, including proportional, integral, and derivative actions. Participants will also learn the fundamentals of PID tuning and how tuning parameters influence process stability and response. The course introduces common control loops, process variables, controllers, sensors, and final control elements. Emergency Shutdown (ESD) systems are discussed to help participants understand their role in protecting equipment, processes, and personnel. Practical examples are used to connect control concepts with real-world industrial applications. By completing the course, participants will develop a strong foundation in process control, automation, control-loop analysis, and industrial safety systems.
