The PID Instruction for
the PLC-5 –
Troubleshooting Basic Process Control
Number:
P4040
Length:
5 days
Overview:
A unique course for
the PID instruction as used in Allen-Bradley PLC-5 controllers. This is a
solid, nuts-and-bolts, hands-on course designed specifically for
maintenance technicians who work with PID-controlled systems. A
non-theoretical approach requires no experience in higher mathematics.
Each single-student workstation includes a separate bench top trainer
which provides a variety of hands-on exercises.
Students first
wire, configure, and calibrate the trainer’s analog input and output
signals. The PID instructions are then programmed and configured. Once
basic automatic control has been established, each student practices
systematically tuning the PID loops for optimum operation. Additional
programming exercises provide experience with operator interfaces for
setpoints, manual control, basic data processing, alarms, and other common
features.
Students learn
how to graphically analyze and interpret the responses of the PID loops as
an aid to troubleshooting equipment problems. Although PID programming is
covered, this course is not intended to be a programming class. The
primary objective is to minimize equipment downtime by improving each
student’s knowledge of PID control and by developing effective
troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
Our unique
Problem/Solution teaching method eliminates boring lectures and
instead uses realistic tasks to keep each student actively involved in
learning skills which are required on the job. Small class size with
only one student per workstation allows the instructor to coach each
student over-the-shoulder. By working independently, each student obtains
the maximum benefit from the class regardless of previous experience and
skill level.
Although this is not
intended to be an engineering-level course in process control, it makes an
effective class to help students develop an intuitive hands-on “feel” for PID control.
Maximum 6 per class.
Only one student per workstation.
