Instrument and Process Control Systems

DESCRIPTION

This course covers instrumentation and control system for industrial applications, the operation of PID (Process & Instrumentation Diagram) controllers and the usually implemented algorithm of commercial PID controllers. Also methods of controller tuning are presented and practiced.
