Process Control

About Process Control
Process control is the ability to monitor and adjust a process to give the desired output. It is used in the industry to maintain quality and improve performance. This aims to maintain important process operating parameters within precise limits of the reference value or setpoint. In order to maintain automated control over a process, the theory behind control circuits is explained in this chapter. The control loop is the cornerstone of automated control. A sensor, a controller, and a control element to which the results are applied must all be present in a control loop for a specific process.

Why is Process Control important?
Benefits of a process control system
•    energy savings - energy wastage is reduced when your plant and machinery are efficiently operated
•    improved safety - control systems automatically warn you of any abnormalities which minimize the risk of accidents
•    consistent product quality - variations in product quality are kept to a minimum and reduce your wastage
•    lower manufacturing costs - detecting faults early means throughput, yield, and quality are maintained
•    improved environmental performance - systems can give you an early warning of a rise in emissions

Who should take the Process Control Exam?
•    Electronics or Process management professionals
•    Innovators
•    Process control managers and senior executives
•    Process control consultants
•    Any professional with skills and knowledge of process control
