response characteristics, Frequency response of 1st and 2nd order systems, Time
response of higher order systems
6. Study of System Stability. Introduction to stability, Poles and Zeros concept,

PI and PID Controllers), Different PID Controller Tuning method
8. Frequency Design. Introduction to frequency plots, Bode Plots, System
Stability using Bode Plots
Practical/Demonstrations:
1. Calibration of PH sensor and conditioning circuit and to demonstrate manual operation of

the motorized and solenoid valves, also determine their characteristics.
2. Control PH in the process tank by changing the cycle time using a PH sensor and three-
term controller with time proportioned output to the solenoid valve in the reagent line.
3. Demonstrate the operation of a control valve and determine its characteristics. Also
demonstrate on/off control of level in the process tank by changes in rate of in-flow to the
process tank using a level switch to control the inlet and outlet solenoid valves.
4. Demonstrate the characteristics of a proportional and P+I process controller and response
to changes in set point or disturbances.
5. Demonstrate the characteristics of a P+D process controller and use of Square Extractor
and response to changes in set point or disturbances.
6. Demonstrate the effect of proportional band on the controller response during level
control (static and with flow through the vessel).
7. Demonstrate how controllers may be used to give optimum performance using level and
temperature control circuit by varying different parameter.
