Project planning
1.2 Important notes
The basic prerequisite for safe handing and fault-free operation of a Process Control System station is knowledge of the basic safety instructions and regulations. These operating instructions contain the most important safety instructions for safe operation of a station. In particular, the safety instructions are to be observed by all persons working at the workstation. In addition, local rules and accident-prevention regulations must be observed.
1.3 Operators responsibilities
The operator is responsible for ensuring that people working at the workstation are limited to: Those with a basic knowledge of work safety and accident prevention and who have been instructed in the operation of the station. Those who have read and understood the safety chapter and warning notices in these operating instructions and have signed to this effect.
1.4 Trainees responsibilities
All persons assigned to working with the workstation are required to carry out the following before starting work: To observe the basic regulations for work safety and accident prevention. To read and understand the safety chapter and warning notices in these operating instructions and sign to this effect.
Project planning
1.5 Hazards associated with operating the Process Control System
The workstation has been built in accordance with the state of the art and recognized safety regulations. Nonetheless, operation of the station can result in the danger of injury or death to the user or third parties or damage to the machine or other property. The station is only to be used For the intended purpose and When in perfect condition from a safety point of view.
Any faults that could compromise safety must be eliminated immediately!

Project planning
Project planning of a process plant should include the following documents: Specifications Process description, associated conditions such as environmental protection Start of scheduling and schedule monitoring Planning of flow diagrams Basic flow diagram Process flow diagram Piping and instrumentation diagram (PI diagram) Function diagrams Design of process plant Environmental protection requirements Specification of all equipment, Instrumentation and Control (EMCS) point list EMCS point plan outline EMCS point plan detailed Wiring and terminal diagrams Assembly plans Installation planning Acquisition Assembly, commissioning and acceptance of the system
The planning of a process-engineering project should be practiced using a PI diagram, an EMCS point list and an EMCS point plan for a controlled system.

Project planning
2.1 PI diagram
The development of a PI diagram is a significant part of the project work. A PI diagram explains the EMCS functions using measuring points and final control elements. EMCS point designation
LIC 102
The process-related functions in an EMCS plan (Electrical, Instrumentation & Control) are described by EMCS points. The designation indicates the measured variables or other input variables, their processing, the direction of control action, and location. A EMCS point consists of an EMCS circle and is designated by code letters (A-Z) and a code number. The code letters are entered in the upper half of the EMCS circle, the number in the lower half. The sequence of the code letters is based on the following table EMCS code letters DIN 19227.
Example: L First letter Level I Supplementary letter Display C 1st following letter Automatic closed-loop control
The coding system for the EMCS points can be freely selected. Sequential numbering makes sense, as an EMCS points code must only occur once, even if there are several measuring points with the same measured variable. For more information, please see DIN standard 19227 Part 1.

The following application tasks are designed to help the trainee learn to use the controlled systems and the controllers. A controlled system is to be taken into operation with defined parameters. The behavior of the system is to be observed while it is in operation. Target audience and required prior knowledge This task requires technical understanding. The tasks are designed to give the trainees an introduction to control engineering. The trainees should have a theoretical knowledge of the fundamentals of control engineering. This task is designed to allow the trainee to see theory in a practical example and thus enhance their knowledge. Note Defined parameters are given for commissioning of the controllers used. The parameters were determined using comparable controlled systems, but part tolerances could result in malfunctioning of the controlled systems used. In this case adjustments have to be made to the parameters.

Control engineering
Machines and systems often require variables such as pressure, temperature, flow rate or level to be controlled to a predetermined value. Also, these values should not change in the event of faults. This type of task is undertaken by a controller. Closed-loop control engineering covers all problems associated with this task. The variable to be controlled is measured, converted and supplied to the automatic controller as an electrical signal. The controller then compares this value (or value curve) with the preset value. The corrective action to be taken in the system is then derived. Finally, a suitable point for corrective action to influence the controlled variable must be determined, for example, the heaters regulator. Here, the response of the system is important. Closed-loop control Standard DIN 19226 applies: Closed-loop control is a process whereby one variable, namely the variable to be controlled (controlled variable) is continuously monitored, compared with another variable, namely the reference variable, and depending on the outcome of this comparison influenced in such a manner as to bring about adaptation to the reference variable despite any disturbance variables. This feedback results in a closed action loop.
The control technician is responsible for: Identification of the controlled system Definition of the controlled variable Determination of measuring point Determination of disturbance variables Selection of the final control elements Determining whether a controller will result in worthwhile benefit Selection of suitable controller(s) Installation of controller(s) in compliance with regulations Commissioning, parameterization and optimization
These topics are covered in greater detail in the following exercises, which are designed to give trainees an introduction to control engineering. Trainees should have a basic theoretical knowledge of control engineering.

5.1 Identifying the controlled system
The time response of a controlled system must be known for optimum controller selection. This allows conclusions to be drawn regarding the dynamic response of the controlled system and the controller settings to be determined. The time response of a controlled system is determined by recording a transient response of the system. For systems with delay, such as where there is energy storage, the time constant of the controlled system is determined by applying a tangent or, in the case of multiple delays, an inflectional tangent.

Determine the time constant of the controlled system.
Procedure 1. Apply an (origin) tangent to the curve. 2. Draw the maximum value as a horizontal line at the maximum actual value. 3. Draw a perpendicular as a vertical line (90 to the maximum value) at the intersection of maximum value and tangent. 4. Draw a horizontal line at the intersection of the curve and the perpendicular. The actual value at this point should be 63% of the "maximum value". 5. Read off on the time scale how long the system needs to reach 63%. This is the time constant.
S = output variable when t = T, T = 63%
