CONTROL PRINCIPLE - EXAMPLE 1

1.         A Proportional Controller is used for controlling temperature in melting process. Temperature set point is750°C and temperature measuring tool range is 0 - 1000°C .  Proportional space is set  at 15%.  Pressure output range from controller is 20 –100 kN/m2 and pressure output rises when temperature increases.  If pressure output is set at 60 kN/m2 for temperature set
            point, find
            i)          Temperature for pressure output at 20 kN/m2
            ii)         Temperature for pressure output at  100 kN/m2   

SOLUTION:
 i)          Temperature for pressure output at 20 kN/m2


ii)         Temperature for pressure output at  100 kN/m2   


2.     In a process, a Proportional Controller is used to control the liquid level in the boiler. The   
          level is set at 8 meters and the level range is 1 to 14 meters. Proportional band is at 
          20%.  The output current has a range of  5 – 20mA. Determine:-

          i.                    The output level when current is 5 mA.
         ii.                  The output current at a level of 10 meters.

SOLUTION:



3.     An air to open valve on the inflow controls level in a tank. When the process is at the set point the valve opening is 50%. An increase in outflow results in the valve  opening increasing to a new steady state value of 80%. What is the resulting offset if the controller PB is:
i)                    80%
ii)                   40%.

SOLUTION:



4.   A temperature controller has the following characteristic curve below:

 

  
      The controller has a range of 100 0C to 400 0C. The setpoint is 250 0C. Calculate:
                                                                                                                    
                                i.            The controller Proportional Band
                                                                                                                    
                               ii.            The controller Proportional Gain

SOLUTION:
