This Fisher Controls course is for engineers, technicians and other persons responsible for the design, maintenance and operation of pressure, temperature, level and flow control loops. A good course for those new to loop tuning, and for those looking to improve their loop tuning skills.

This 4-1/2 day course explains the basics of process control and loop dynamics. Those attending participate in hands-on workshops performing controller tuning on level, pressure, flow, and temperature loops using digital and pneumatic controllers. Computer process simulators to reinforce and practice classroom concepts. Those completing this course will:

• implement common control strategies

• troubleshoot unstable loops

• tune pneumatic, analog, & digital controllers

For recommended prerequisite, please refer to the control valve training path.
