ETS 1535C - Automated Process Control

2 hours Lecture, 2 hours Lab, 3 credits
Lower-Division College Credit
Prerequisite(s): ETS 1542C or permission of the Program Director
AA Elective: No
This course introduces servomechanism systems used to operate many types of automated systems. The concepts and elements of open- and closed-loop systems are covered. On/off and PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control modes and feedback-sensing devices are introduced, and the operation of position and velocity control systems is studied. It covers various sensors used in industrial operations such as inductive and capacitive proximity detectors, Hall-effect devices, and various optical sensing modes. the properties and characteristics of level, flow, and analytical variables associated with process control. Instruments that measure these variables are calibrated and used to measure conditions. Laboratory activities are performed to apply course material.
