Instrumentation and Control: Automatic Process Control Part 1

By the end of this course, you will be able to: State the function of a process control system. Describe the functions of the four basic elements of an automated process control system. Explain what a process disturbance is and how it can affect a process control system. Describe feedback and feedforward control and explain how they can be used in a process control system. Define the terms “resistance” and “capacitance.” Define the terms “dead time” and “lag time.”” Explain how resistance, capacitance, dead time, and lag time can affect a process control system.
