Methods of implementing and documenting industrial instrumentation and control for use in process and motion control. Implementation of controller operations using stand-alone PID (proportional integral derivative) controllers and PLC ( programmable logic controllers) including topics such as single and dual loop controller tuning, basic process control strategies, and process safety. Applications of instrumentation will focus on selection, connection, and calibration of industrial sensors and signaling methods. Measurement parameters will include, pressure, flow, temperature, level, distance, Ph (potential of hydrogen), RPM (revolution per minute), linear and angular velocity, and position. Applications of control will include Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), electric, pneumatic, and hydrologic actuators, and their application with control valves, motors, and servos for use in process and motion control. Students will research product data sheets and create documentation that cover topics such as process flow diagrams, P&IDs, loop diagrams, operation and troubleshooting procedures. Lab activities will be provided with actual equipment and software used in industry.
