The following interactive multimedia CD-ROMs are available on the topic of industrial process control. The following 3 courses are available to choose from:

=======================================================

Industrial Process Control: Single-Loop Control CD-ROM

Duration: 6 hours (includes 1 test)

Audience: This program is an excellent entry-level course for control practitioners as well as for the multicraft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities. This lesson is designed for participants familiar with measurement fundamentals. An understanding of algebra is also recommended.

What Students Learn: This comprehensive INVOLVE® interactive multimedia training program was produced in association with the Instrument Society of America. (ISA). This two lesson program trains participants in the concepts and principles of process control modes.

This lesson presents the principles of single-loop control and the applications of feedback control in the industrial environment. Also introduced are various control modes including on/off, proportional, integral, and derivative control.

After completing the lesson, the learner will be able to:

    •   Define and site industrial control.|
•   Define process variable.
•   Compare manual and automatic process control.
•   Adjust the set point on a pictorial representation of an industrial controller.
•   Identify the controlled, measured, and manipulated variables of a heat exchanger system.
•   Define deviation.
•   Identify the system response for various control modes.
•   Define load change.
•   Identify the elements of process control.
•   Identify the action of the final control element of various control systems.
•   Identify the dead zone or dead band on an on/off control response curve.
•   Compare and contrast the action of a final control element in an on/off control system
     with a proportional control process.
•   Identify reverse- or direct-acting control with an example of measurement and subsequent
     output response.
•   Define proportional control in relation to response error.
•   Determine the setting of the controller's proportional band and gain on a pictorial representation
     of process control action.
•   Identify offset on an example of proportional only control.
•   Define integral control in relation to error signal.
•   Identify minutes per repeat and repeats per minute with an example of the units used in integral
     control.
•   Define reset wind up on a process response curve for an integral controller.
•   Identify the effects of reset wind up on the elements of process control on a heat exchange system.
•   Define derivative process control in relation to error signal.

Special Notes: This training program is delivered by multimedia CD-ROM and can be accessed on a stand alone PC or in a networked learning center.

Industrial Process Control: Multiple-Loop Control CD-ROM

Duration: 6 hours (includes 1 test)

Audience: This program is an excellent entry-level course for control practitioners as well as for the multicraft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities. This lesson is designed for participants familiar with single-loop control. An understanding of pressure, temperature, level, and flow measurement as well as basic algebra is also recommended.

This lesson explains the application of multiple-loop control strategies to industrial process control systems. The lesson also explains the operation of several types of digital process control systems.

After completing the lesson, the learner will be able to:

    •   Identify the benefits of advanced process control strategies.
•   Compare feedback and feedforward control.
•   Explain the principles and applications of a feedforward control system.
•   Explain the principles and identify the benefits of cascade control.
•   Discriminate between wild and controlled flows in a ratio control system.
•   Explain the principles and applications for ratio control.
•   Explain the principles and application of adaptive and selective control.
•   Identify the method of process control used in direct digital, supervisory, and distributed
     control systems.

Interpreting Process Control Diagrams CD-ROM

Duration: 6 hours (includes 1 test)

Audience: This program is excellent for training instrument technicians and electricians as well as for the multicraft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities. This lesson is designed for participants familiar with instruments and control functions.

What Students Learn: This comprehensive INVOLVE® interactive multimedia training program was produced in association with the Instrument Society of America. (ISA). This one lesson program trains participants how to interpret process and instrument diagrams.

This lesson introduces the common instrument and line symbols and notations used on process control and loop diagrams. The interpretation of process control and loop diagrams is presented as well. Emphasis is placed on identifying the functions of components within the process control system.

After completing the lesson, the learner will be able to:

    •   Identify the function, measured variable, location and accessibility, and loop identification of
     an instrument given its symbol and tag number.
•   Identify the type of connection between an instrument and the process to which it is connected
     when given a tag number.
•   Identify signal line types (pneumatic, electrical, capillary, or internal software link).
•   Identify the type of valve actuator (diaphragm, motor, solenoid, or piston) when given a symbol.
•   Describe the information available in a typical process control diagram, title block, revision list,
     materials list, and notes block.
•   Describe the functional operation of the systems represented in typical process control
     diagrams.
•   Understand the function of loop diagrams and their relationship to process control diagrams.
•   Understand the purpose of each of the four areas of a typical loop diagram.
•   Identify the location and type of each instrument port connection, junction box, and power source
     as well as the controller action for the instruments in a loop diagram.
•   Describe the functional operation of the systems represented in a typical loop diagram.

Special Notes: This training program is delivered by multimedia CD-ROM and can be accessed on a stand alone PC or in a networked learning center.
