APC200: Advanced Process Control Design and Optimization

APC200 training course covers the advanced principles of practical industrial process control, all in the time domain. Our course is more hands-on than any competitor. Students can download and install process control software products on their personal laptops for use during our process control training.

The software products are full-blown industrial process control software applications used by the industry. This level of hands-on approach tremendously aids the learning process and mastering process control theory and practicals.

Our instructors have over 30 years of industrial experience and advanced process control training experience. They not only have the technical process control knowledge but also the skills to make sure participants are fully engaged and able to concentrate on the material.

After completion of our full-blown APC200 advanced process control training course, you will get an international diploma as a process control expert in the field of advanced process control, and you will also be able to install our simulation and advanced optimization process control software for the time period of more than one month.

Our APC200 (Industrial Advanced Process Control Design and Optimization) training course is very practical, easy to understand for everyone: engineers, technicians, operators and students – both new and experienced. That is why our customers consider us the best.

The DCS and PLC systems have many powerful features that still remain under-utilized. This course shows you how to tune PIDs and build powerful optimizing controllers inside the DCS or PLC. During the course, we use several industrial process control software products – Pitops, Simcet, Process Control CBT and ACSSI.

The course assumes that attendees have completed PID100 course (PID100 is a prerequisite for this APC200 course).

Attendees use real time-series plant data and identify multivariable closed-loop/open-loop dynamics. Then they build various control schemes all inside Pitops software – cascade, constraint override, maximizing and minimizing constraint controllers, selectors, model-based controllers, dead-time compensators and many others.

This course is designed more for engineers but also will offer tremendous value to operators, technicians and supervisors. PiControl software products used in this course are so very easy to use that the course can be comfortably followed by even new and inexperienced technicians. This course also covers advanced functions of PID controllers in more detail.

If you would like to participate and enroll in more detail and a full-blown course on primary process control, PID tuning, and beyond, please contact PiControl Solutions directly. In our wider training course, you will learn how to use Derivative action and PV filter, how to do more complex system identification, how to do appropriate plant step tests, and also how to design and tune cascade chains and PID loops.

After completion of our wider training course, you will get an international diploma as a process control expert in the field of primary process control and PID tuning, and you will get also possible to install our simulation and optimization process control software for the time period of more than one month.

APC200 is designed primarily for process engineers and process control engineers, but also will offer tremendous value to operators, technicians and supervisors
