Audio Instructions for Q & A Sessions
Questions may be asked via your telephone line. Press the *1 key on your telephone key-pad. If there are no other callers on the line, the operator will announce your name and affiliation to the audience and then ask for your question. If other participants are asking questions, you will be placed into a queue until you are first in line. While in the queue, you will be in a listen-only mode until the operator indicates that your phone has been activated. The operator will announce your name and affiliation and then ask for your question.

Definition of a Process
A process is a part of a manufacturing plant in which material or energy is converted to other forms of material or energy
Change in pressure, temperature, speed, electrical potential, etc.

Feedback
Because you take information about a process output and use it to control a process input (feedback) Process must be upset before deviation can be measured Always a lag in action due to steps

Process Variables
The following variables (one or more) will be found in the majority of process control applications:
Flow Level Pressure Temperature
There are many others, yet those above are found most often.

Flow Measurement Volumetric
Positive Displacement
(gallons per minute, cubic feet per minute, liters per minute, etc.)

(pounds per hour, kilograms per hour, etc.)

Other Terminologies
Resolution
Smallest scale increments
Sensitivity
Smallest detectable change
Hysteresis
Difference in measurement output when measuring input ascending and descending
Dead band
Range in which input signal may change upon reversal of direction without causing measurable change in output
31
Ranging (or Scaling) vs. Calibration
Ranging changes the Instrument zero and/or Instrument Span Range is always given as from , to
Instrument zero is set to lower range value Instrument span is set so 100% = upper range value
Modern Instruments do not have to be calibrated upon a range change. Calibration means to compare this instruments readings for a selected set to a measurement standard in a standardized environment. And adjust if necessary Some of the more modern test instruments are shop standards Smart Instruments have their own built in standards, or at least characterization curves for sensor linearization.

Transducers
Many Final Control Elements in continuous control are valves, and valves use a pneumatic actuator. Most controllers are electronic and have an electronic output. A transducer (I/P) is used to provide an interface.

Integral Time Adjustment
Integral action is used to eliminate the offset that occurs in a proportional controlled process when a load change or continuing error to one side of set point occurs. Operates on duration of error

PID Algorithm
Derivative action also known as rate Rate of error change over time

gain adjustment

derivative time adjustment (minutes)
integral time adjustment Derivative is used on slow processes to reduce over/undershoot, providing less excursion from setpoint and a quicker first return to setpoint. Operates of the rate of error change.
