Learning Outcomes
Competences
The students acquire the competence to carry out basic instrumentation and automation in process engineering. They are able to select adequate process measurement technologies. They now the structure and methodologies of control networks.
Skills Knowledge
The students know and understand (k1 & k2) the concept process instrumentation and automation. They can apply adequate measurement techniques to a P&ID diagram (k3). The students can analyze complex systems (e.g. PID controllers) and solve them (k4). The students know how to apply the instrumentation and select adequate positions from inadequate ones (k5). - History of process control - Signal conversion - Different sensors (flow, pressure, concentration, temperature, …) - Control structure - Regulations - Controllers
