Introducing closed-loop control to beginners
Closed-loop control technology increases the efficiency, quality, and safety of modern process plants. To understand and approach complex control loops with confidence, future process operators and technicians need prerequisite foundational knowledge. How do you convey the basics of this control technology while mitigating its complexity?
The “Fundamentals of closed-loop control” course offers a user-friendly and professional introduction to the topic. Students can build universal skills required to work in the process industry:
- Commission and test a basic closed-loop system
- Read and design technical drawings for process engineering
- Perform analog signal processing
- Operate and analyze flow, level, pressure, and temperature control systems
- Select and use optimization methods for loop tuning
- Perform energy monitoring, analysis, and optimization of a pump
- And more
The course is available in our digital learning portal Festo LX or in print/PDF format.
Practical experimentation is performed on the MPS PA Compact Workstation. See what students can do:
