Process Control Technologies

This course covers topics in closed-loop control and technologies used in process control in the context of a complex mechatronic system. Students will be trained to characterize a system by its step response function and to create and interpret charts with diagrams for time-based changes of measured values. Students will learn how to establish controller operating parameters and learn the difference between the types of controllers that are typically used in mechatronic process control systems. This course is one of the courses required for the Siemens Level 2 certification in mechatronics.
