The process automation training set allows the learner
to enable different flows from the main tank to others
and back. The learner can change the temperature,
pressure and the flow of the fluid. The control is done
through a PC connected to the system. The learner can
observe in realtime what happens when the setup is
changed. Moreover, the process is recorded at the same
time through data acqisition on the PC.The Process
Automation Training Set helps the learner how to deal
with fluids.
The system consists of:
-
Fluid tanks
-
Pump
-
Fluid accumulator
-
Actuators
-
Fluid level measurement
-
Fluid pressure measurement
-
Flow measurement
-
Temperature measurement
-
Heating unit with control panel
-
PC controlled operation
-
I/O card
-
Data Acquisition
-
Scada
-
Software and Documentation
The control and scada software helps users, to be able
create an easy setup and control algorithms. Besides,
students can visualise the system via an user friendly
scada. Students can create scenarios as they want.
Defaults are;
· By-pass
test
· Tank
2 epmtying
· Pressure
test
· Define
tank 2 level
There are also online watch windows, and graphic drawing
properties, variables (Pressure, level, temperature,
flow) versus time.
Available experiments, which can be applied with the
sets are;
· Basic
programming and understanding of a process flow chart
· Learning
the use of Data Acquisition Cards and communication with
a PC
· Scada
software programming to visualise a real mini industrial
process.
· PID
Control algorithm creation with PC software
· Comparison
of industrial PID temperature controllor behaviour which
is built in the system, and the students algorithms
written by PC software
· Fluid
flow measurement vith a pulse type flow sensor
· Pressure
measurement via a digital pressure sensor and a
mechanical manometer
· Fluid
level control of a tank and calculation of the volume
with related the height
· By-pass
system control
· Arrange
the related solenoid valves according to the necessary
scenario
· Setup
and piping of fluid systems, pipes can be installed
easily by quick connections
· Understanding
the sensor characteristics, as
Ultrasonic level measurement sensor
Digital pressure transmitter with LCD
Mechanical pressure manometer to compare with digital
one
Pulse type flow measurement sensor
Analog temperature sensor
Capasitive limit switches, for tank 1 level control |
