By using a corresponding controller, the level and flow rate controlled system can be configured into a cascade control system (FluidLab-PA Multi-Loop required). The sensors and valve actuators support various types of controllers, including continuous ones like P, I, PI, PID, and discontinuous ones like two-point controllers. The pumps can be controlled through direct actuation or speed adjustment. In the flow rate and pressure controlled systems, the manipulated variable of the controller can also operate a proportional directional control valve. A two-way ball valve with a pneumatic quarter-turn actuator is installed in the return between the elevated tank and the lower reservoir. This valve simulates a “load” for disturbance variable compensation in the level controlled system. The workstation features IO-Link components (level, temperature, and magnetic flow sensors) to address digital communication between devices. Learning Outcomes – Introduction to process automation – Learn the fundamentals of closed-loop control – Read and design technical drawings for process engineering – Learn the different methods used for control loop tuning – Operate, identify, and analyze different control systems for pressure, flow, level, and temperature – Operate, identify, and analyze different control systems for pressure, flow, level, and temperature with industrial instrumentation (Process instrumentation workstation) – Operate, identify, and analyze a control system for energy management (Energy workstation) MPS PA Compact Workstation → Video Note: When ordering a complete compact workstation, it is delivered preassembled and preprogrammed. Individual components can be ordered separately to create a custom solution, but the system will not come preassembled nor preprogrammed.
