Course Content
This course covers the fundamental concepts of process control systems, including open- and closed-loop control structures, measurement elements, sensors, actuators, and controllers. It explores PID control principles, the construction of control diagrams, system dynamics, and stability analyses. In addition, industrial applications of process control systems, automation technologies, and SCADA systems are examined. The course combines theoretical knowledge with simulation and practical application examples.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to equip students with fundamental knowledge and skills in monitoring, controlling, and automating industrial processes. Students learn to analyze process variables and develop appropriate control strategies through the use of sensors, control elements, and feedback systems.
