The ECOSSE Control HyperCourse

Part 2 - Case Study Section

This section of the course reinforces the material taught in the lecture notes. There are two parts which are outlined below. Firstly there are a couple of simulations which cover tuning a controller using the Zeigler Nichols open loop method. Then there are a number of tutorials on all aspects of this part of the course both controlling simple processes and simple controller design.

• Laboratory Session

  There are a number of experiments in the Virtual Control Laboratory which involves work covered in this section. In particular please work through the following

  • Introduction to Zeigler Nichols Tuning
  • Further Examples on Open Loop Tuning

• Tutorial Questions and Answers
  • Exercise 1: Controlling Simple Processes
  • Exercise 2: Degrees of Freedom
  • Exercise 3: Control of Adiabatic Flash
  • Exercise 4: Control of Non Adiabatic Flash
  • Exercise 5: First-Order Modelling
  • Exercise 6: Controller Tuning
