Instrumentation and Process Control in Food Industry

The course aims to introduce the first principles of controlled systems as sensed by instruments and fedback for effective control strategies. Design of stable controllers based on proportional – integral – derivative combinations will be the final outcome of the course objectives. The participants are expected to apply transform calculus to obtain real time solutions to second order system response.PRE-REQUISITE: Transform Calculus/ Complex Algebra.INDUSRTY SUPPORT: SSP Pvt. Ltd.([email protected]); Neologic Engineers Pvt. Ltd. ([email protected]); CIPHET - Ludhiana ([email protected]).INTENDED AUDIENCE: Food Industry Professionals, ICAR,CIPHET Scientists.
