A COURSE
This course enables English-speaking about operation or maintenance staff of industrial installations, in order to become familiar with the principle of single-loop PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control as well as with basic control architectures, and to learn how to adjust the PID actions of a controller according to the process characteristics. Participants improve their ability to understand the impact of their actions on process control and to diagnose possible control faults.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Attendees will acquire the base theory of operation of PID feedback control loops, showing on one hand how a process may react to its command signal, and on the other hand how to adapt controller actions to a particular process.
• They will learn how to set, tune, and troubleshoot various types of control loops.
• They will learn how to set, tune, and troubleshoot various types of control loops.
WAYS AND MEANS
• The course provides valuable information via lectures on theoretical concepts, backed-up by direct hands-on training in fully equipped classrooms.
• More than 50 % of the time is dedicated to actually working on various simulated control loops and genuine industrial process control loops.
• A knowledge assessment test followed by its proofreading will be run at the end of the training.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND ?
Operation and Maintenance Technicians and Engineers, who are new to process control principles, or who wish to be “cross trained”.
PREREQUISITES
Knowledge of instrumentation and of basic mathematical concepts such as integral and derivative, as well as basic physical laws, although not required, would be helpful.
