Overview of Pressure Control Trainer

Pressure Control Trainer is included in the Interlabs Process Control Eengineering range. The product’s intended role, construction and suitability should be assessed using the manufacturer’s or supplier’s confirmed product information and the requirements of the task for which it is being considered.

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.
