A Process Control SystemDefinition
Automatic process control is concerned with maintaining process variables : temperatures, pressures, flows, compositions, and the like at some desired operating value .
Process(dynamic in nature)
Related to:-Safety- Produc Quality- Production Rate
Variables need to be controlled
A Process Control SystemAn illustration : Heat Exchanger (Manual Control)
The objective is to heat the process fluid from some inlet temperature Ti(t) up to a certain desired output temperature T(t). The energy gained by the process fluid is provided by the latent heat of condensation of the steam.
How to control
manually?
Define variables that can change, causing the outlet temperature to deviate from its desired value!
Problems of manual control?
A Process Control SystemAn illustration : Heat Exchanger (Automatic Process Control)
Need to understand symbols and identifications!- Process Flow Diagram (PFD)- Piping & Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID)
Need to know basic control loop components:- Sensor-Transmitter- Controller- Final Control Element
A Process Control SystemTerms and Objectives
Controlled Variable(In this case: Outlet Temperature)
Set Point
Manipulated Variable(In this case : Steam Valve Position)
Disturbance(Steam Temp)
Disturbance(Inlet Temp)
Disturbance(Process flow)
Disturbance(Ambient condition)
Regulatory and Servo Control
Regulatory control refers to systems designed to compensate disturbances
Servo control refers to systems designed to follow a desired profile (set point may change as a function of time)
