Learning Outcomes and Competencies Students will:
  • be able to depict and interpret instrumentation and control tasks in P&I flow diagrams.
  • know typical control concepts for important control tasks in (bio-) process plants (e.g. cascade control, level control).
  • be able to explain the structure of a control loop and its components.
  • be able to characterise and evaluate static and dynamic characteristic curves of controlled systems.
  • know the fundamentals of the behaviour of transmission elements.
  • be able to select and adjust a controller for a controlled system (e.g. structure-adapted controller selection, design according to the CHR method).
  • be able to assess the stability and quality of the control system on the basis of the behaviour of a control loop and identify possible optimisation approaches.
  • know the basic features of the architecture of industrial control systems.
Module Content The module includes the following topics:
 
  • Fundamental principles of control engineering (terms, classification)
  • Instrumentation and control tasks in P&I flow diagrams (including EN ISO 62424, DIN 19 227 and ISO 3511)
  • Elementary transmission elements and test functions
  • Classification of controlled systems (including system dynamics, evaluation of static and dynamic characteristic curves)
  • Controllers (e.g. structure, function, two-point controller, PID controller)
  • Design of control loops (e.g. controller selection, evaluation of stability and control quality, setting of controllers)
  • Selected examples of control tasks in practice (e.g. level, temperature, pressure, flow)
  • Basic features of the architecture of process control systems
Follow-up Modules Bioprocess Automation practical
Methods of Instruction  Blended learning (content is taught through instructional videos and scripts, and practical exercises in class as a full group)
Digital Resources Video resources together with scrips, script files

Classroom Attendance

On site in the case of the coursework
Assessment
Written exam at the end of the semester 100%

An optional piece of coursework (pass mark) is completed during the semester. If the coursework is successfully completed, the module grade will be credited accordingly.
 
If there is a low number of participants, the lecturer may change the form of a repeat examination after consultation with the head of the study programme: e.g. an oral examination can be used to replace a written one. Please report any changes to the form of examinations by e-mail to pruefungsadmin.lsfm@zhaw.ch and Cc. Head of study programme
