Instrumentation and process control

Instrumentation and process control: 

Objective of control system:

1. To ensure the stability of the process
2. To reduce the effect of external disturbances
3.To optimize the overall process
4. To keep the process variables within limit 
5. To give desire purity 
6. To maintain the production composition

HARD WARE ELEMENT:

To monitor and control the operation of process there are seven hardware elements as
1.Process
2.Measuring device
3. Transducer
4. Transmission lines
5.Controller
6. Final control element
7. Recorder

PROCESS

It represent the material equipment together with physical and chemical operations

MEASURING DEVICE

The instruments by which process is controlled and under required enviornrment is created for process

TRANSDUCER


It is interface between process and control system and its job is to convert the sensor signal into control system

TRANSMISSION LINES

These lines carry signal from transducer to control system . in modern systems transmission lines are mot used as they require investment in capital cost  . now in modern system signal are transferred by electrical signals which don't require any transmission lines

CONTROLLER

Controller is the brain of whole plant . its objective is to compare output signal and set point and give correction to the system as required

FINAL CONTROLLE ELEMENT

Final control element work on the instruction of controller. final control element mostly is control valve

RECORDER

Recorder , records the all process variable for monitoring purpose.

GENERAL CONTROL SYSTEM

Following are the control system
1.Open loop system 
2. Close loop system
3. Feed forward system
4. Feed backward system 
5.Combined control system 
6. Cascade control system
7.Ratio control system

MODES OF FEED BACK CONTROL SYSTEM

1.Proportional control
2. Proportional integral control
3.Proportional derivative control
4.Pid control

MEASURING DEVICES

In any chemical process we usually measure
1. Temperature
2. Pressure
3. Flow rate
4. Level
