The Air Temperature Control Trainer is the system, which outlines the basics of Closed Loop Air Temperature Control and various aspects related to it.

KEY WORDS:

1. Feedback AIR TEMPERATURE Control.
2. OPEN/CLOSE loop response.
3. MANUAL/AUTO tuning of controller
4. SCADA Based AIR TEMPERATURE Control
5. Ability to hook up with DCS (Distributed Control System Trainer)
6. P, P I, P I D Controller Action.
7. ON-OFF & PID control.
8. TRANSIENT response analysis study.
9. USB / RS232 / RS 485/ Ethernet/ Modbus Communication.

Range of experiments:

1. Study of single loop proportional, integral and derivative control.
2. Study of stability of single loop Temperature control.
3. Configure micro controller based PID to give manual output, change controller modes (Manual or Auto), give ONOFF, proportional, integral, derivative PI and PID Control, change local set point, configure and run a set point ramp, configure measured values to either percentage or temperature.
4. Demonstrate the use of RTD (or a transmitter) for the measurement of temperature of AIR. Show the operation of a thyristor to control the energy input of an electrical heater.
5. Study of operation and calibration of sensors/transmitter.

Features

1. Compact Ergonomic Design.
2. User Friendly, Self Explanatory Systems.
3. Training Manual, mimic Charts for Operation Ease.
4. Electrical control panel.
5. Enhanced Electrical Safety Considerations.
6. Inbuilt Safety Measures to avoid improper usage.
7. Computer Interface & SCADA software connectivity for analysis of Temperature Control System Trainer (Optional).
