Introduction to Course
 Basics of Instrumentation and Control

 Instrumentation :
It is the study of Designing and application of an Instrument
for measurement and Control of physical and chemical
properties of material.
 Instrument : It is a device which converts physical parameter into
analog value.

 Measurement : It is the result of comparison between unknown quantity

and pre-defined standard.
Sensor + Transducer + Signal conditioning circuit + Display

 Calibration: It is a process of making some adjustments on instrument

as per given standard values.
 Control System and Process Control
 System : It is collection of components.
 Types of System : Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Thermal
 Combinations: electro-mechanical, electro-hydraulic, electro-pneumatic, etc.
 Generally output of system is a mechanical parameter.
e.g. - displacement, position, velocity, force, speed, torque, etc.

 Process : It is collection of components related to some manufacturing

(product).
 Generally output of process is a process parameter.
e.g. - temperature, pressure, flow, level, pH, conductivity, etc.
 Control System and Process Control

 Loop? : It is complete circuit.

 Dynamic Variable / Process Variable (PV)
 Control : It is the operation of value maintenance of Dynamic variable.
 Setpoint : It is the desired value of dynamic variable required in the process.

 Why to control ? :

 Types of Disturbances : SP change, PL change and transient

 Objectives of Control? :

 Control System? : Types?

 Why Process Control? - Need
Process control helps to ...
 Increase the speed of operation
 Reduce the start up time for process
 Gain complete control of manufacturing process
 Increase the quality & consistency of the product
 Shorten the time to market
 Lower the cost, rejection, rework and inventory
 Increase the human safety from hazardous conditions
 Pollution Control
 International Competitions
 Shorter Product-life-cycles

Controller objectives
 Types of Control system
 Natural : Body Temperature control, Retina light intensity control
Blood Pressure control, Body fluid flow rate control

 Artificial : Traffic flow control, Boiler temperature control

Vehicle speed control, Tank level control

 Combinational : Driving a vehicle, operate a fan

 Types of Control system

 Time varying and Time-invariant systems

 Linear and Non-linear systems

 Continuous time and Discrete-time control systems

 Single Input-Single Output (SISO) and

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) control systems

 Open-loop and Closed-loop control systems

 Open Loop Control system

 "The control system which does not correct itself for variation in its
output is called open-loop control system".
 This control system is independent of output (controlled variable).
 Closed Loop Control system
 "The control system which corrects itself for variation in its output is
called closed-loop control system".
 This control system is dependent of output.
 Identify “Information flow” and manipulate “Energy flow” and “Material flow”
