Unit Learning Outcomes:

2. Process control systems and controllers.

Assignment Brief and Guidance:


Scenario

Industries such as medicines, food, and the chemical industries rely on process
control to ensure that products\ processes are controlled to a high level of precision.
This may be to control (for example) temperature, pressure, flow or a multitude of
other variables that may affect the outcome of a manufacturing process.
It is therefore highly desirable that an industrial engineer understands:

● The need for process control

● Process controller terminology

● System terminology

● Tuning techniques

● Diagrammatic system representations.

Written Report

Understand instrumentation systems used in process control


a- Draw a suitable block diagram of the system.
b- Explain all control system elements.

- Research an industrial example of process control which requires the


application of closed loop control.

a- Give a concise but complete explanation of the system making sure that
you make clear why there is a need for process control in each example.
b- Explain the factors which need to be taken into account when specifying
sensors and control equipment.

Please Note:
Harvard referencing must be used to record all sources research and information.
