  Pressure Control Trainer

  This teaching and training system provides a comprehensive experimental introduction to the fundamentals of process control using an example of pressure control. The air pressure control system is a 2nd order system. It comprises two in-line pressure vessels interconnected by a restrictor valve. An additional valve on the second tank makes air tapping possible and so can be used to simulate a disturbance variable. A pressure transducer mesaures the pressure in the second vessel. The controller used is a state-of-the-art digital industrial controller. The actuator in the loop is a pneumatically operated control valve with a standardised current signal input. The controlled variable X and the manipulating variable Y are plotted directly on an integrated 2-channel line recorder. Alternatively, the variables can be tapped as analogue signals at lab jacks on the switch cabinet. This enables external recording equipment, such as an oscilloscope or a flatbed plotter, to be connected.

  Temperature Control Apparatus with Experimental Panels

  This instructional system is used to examine a simple temperature control unit. It consists of clearly arranged modular experimental panels which are suspended in a frame and connected with cables. A soldering iron equipped with a thermal element is used as the temperature control system. The temperature can be read on a digital display with a measuring transducer. The system includes a digital industrial controller which can be configured continuously as P, PD, PI and PID controller. It is possible to also use it as a two-point controller. The manipulated value can be indicated on a bar diagram. An electronic power control completes the system. The student has the opportunity to get familiar with the components of a control circuit, to interconnect them and vary their parameters. All components are of a sturdy design and therefore well suited for student experiments.

  Process Control Training Plant

  This training system for process control represents a fully functional process control system. It consists of four individual systems: process module, control console, fault simulator and service module. The actual process module contains the devices and loops for liquid-level, flow rate, temperature and pressure control with all necessary equipment, tanks and vessels, pipes and delay coils, various sensors and pneumatically actuated valves. The system is laid out in a way to represent a realistic part of a plant also found in heavy industry. The control console is equipped with four digital universal industrial controllers and four three-channel chart recorders. The controllers can configured independently as required and can be operated both individually and simultaneously. They all have serial interfaces permitting parameters to be set from a PC and facilitating interfacing with a process control system. The separate console for the fault simulation unit is used to study ten different typical system faults, e.g. sensor failure or cable break. These are activated using switches. Their effect on the system behavior of the system can then be investigated. The service module provides compressed air, hot and cold water for the process module. A process communication system facilitates the central control and monitoring of the system.

  Test Stand for Control Valves

  Control valves are an essential part of process and chemical engineering. The connection between controller and plant is realised with control valves as actuators. Control valves are usually used to regulate flows of gases or liquids. Optimum control loop design depends on a sound knowledge of control valve behaviour as well as a knowledge of the controlled system’s response. This mobile test stand allows to investigate and study control valves of different types. For this purpose the valve is installed in a closed water circuit with a pressure pump and a supply tank. Flow rate and pressure drop across the valve are measured. The trigger signal is generated by potentiometers and indicated on a display. Electrically operated motor valves can be investigated as well as pneumatic control valves. A data acquisition system can be used to record and evaluate characteristics and step responses on a PC.
