Course Contents: Module I: Basic Considerations Introduction to process control system, control loop study- realization with load-changes at arbitrary points in the loop, offset and its analysis, modelling consideration for control purposes, degree of freedom and process controllers, formulating the scope at modelling for process control. Computer simulation and linearization of non linear system transfer function and input output models, Dynamic behaviour of first order lag system, process with variable time constant and gain. Dynamic behaviour of second order and higher order system-multicapacity process, real time process, inverse response process, Introduction to Feedback control and effects P, I & D controllers. Module II: Designing Feed Back Controller Outline of the design problems, Selection of type of feedback controller. Time-Integral performance Criterion, Process Reaction Curve and frequency response characteristic, Ziegler-Nichol Rule, effect of dead time, dead time compensator and inverse response compensator. Module III: Control Systems with Multiple Loops Cascade, spilt-range feed forward, ratio inferential and adaptive control. Module IV: Interaction & De-Coupling of Control Loop Interaction of control loops, relative gain array and selection of the loops, Design of noninteracting control loop.
