Introduction to Control and Instrumentation
This engineering online PDH course will establish, through slides and discussions, the basic principles of control systems, including systems such as loops control, elements, types of controls and control circuit diagrams. Additionally, it will present diagrams of basic instruments to illustrate how the instrument functions.
The Introduction to Instrumentation and Controls presents the elements that make a control system and the most common instrumentation used in industry. It describes basics of control loops, configuration, including control loop and its elements. It also describes instrumentation for pressure, flow, level and temperature, explaining their physical principles, and common applications. Introduction to motor controls is included in the last section of the course. Basic motor control schematics for simple motor starters are explained. Finally, basic description of a of modern motor control center is presented.
The 4 PDH online course is intended for electrical, chemical, and mechanical engineers, as well as project managers in industry, who are interested either in learning more about control systems and instrumentation or wish to refresh basic control and instrumentation concepts.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Identifying system elements and components
- Understanding the basics of controls such as loop and open controls and their respective elements
- Learning about the methods and principles of instrumentations
- Familiarizing with the Basics of motor control elements
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, "Introduction of Control and Instrumentation" by Manuel Gooding.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty five (25) questions to earn 4 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.) For your convenience, we will also email it to you. Please note that you can log in to your account at any time to access and print your Certificate of Completion.
