Training Course Syllabus:
Tuning DDC/Process Control Loops - Industrial Training Class
2 day Hands-On
Optimize your process with proper setting and tuning of DDC or control loops to
increase quality consistency. Learn the process characteristics that become the
basis for tuning the DDC or process controller. Practice different tuning
methods to ensure accurate control. Gain an understanding of the functions of
proportional band, integral and derivative process in a 3-mode or DDC
controller.
