Control engineering

An engineering science that is used in many engineering disciplines and it is applied to wide range of physical system

What does an engineer do???

The task of an engineer is to design, construct, and operate a physical system to behave in a desired manner and an essential ,element of this activity is sustained maintenance of the system at the desired conditionsthus,

PROCESS CONTROL ENGINEERING.

What is the function of control system?

The

function of control system is a feedback control system maintains specific variables near their desired values by applying FOUR BASIC FEATURES.

CONTROL (verb):

to maintain desired conditions in a physical system by adjusting selected variables in the system. FEEDBACK CONTROL: make use of an output of a system to influence an input to the same system.

Why is control necessary?

First reason : to maintain the desired value when disturbances occur. Second reason:
safety environmental equipment smooth

All seven categories of control objectives must be achieved simultaneously, failure to do so leads to unprofitable or worse, dangerous plant operation.

 Most

FEEDBACK CONTROL is automated which requires that the key functions of sensing, calculating, and manipulating be performed by equipment and that each element communicate with other elements in the control system.

Most

automatic control system is implemented using electronic equipment which uses current or voltage to communicate, some use pneumatic, hydraulic or mechanical mechanism to calculate and communicate.

Control

is implemented on sensors local indicators, and valves which are in the process. of all plant variables and control calculations are in centralized facility.

Fieldbus on process control???

Controllers Simpler

talk to each other to gather process variable and diagnostic data. fieldbus protocols such as Devicenet , cc-link and Profibus found it easier to realize savings. platforms can carry power to individual devices and bring back the complex data to process instrumentation with one cable.

These

Then Why not adopt fieldbus???

Lack Lack

of management buy-in of employee buy-in training costs cost is too high

Increased Initial

Fieldbus networks can help different types of equipment work together better, and sometimes the networks from discrete parts of the plant extend into process areas.

All

the mechatronics engineering has to do is to make sure the correct drivers are available at software assembly time application program is where the mechatronics engineer gets creative, to make high level control decision. thing to remember is that adapting the hardware and software to control mechatronic application.
