Resistance Temperature Detectors

This 45-minute program provides instrument technicians and engineers with a detailed study of the resistance
61
temperature detector (RTD), including its construction, principles of operation, advantages, and limitations. (Part #B0150WG)
Process Control Systems Problem-solving Software

This interactive self-study training program for the process engineer contains all of the simulations to produce the response curves and tabular data in the latest edition of the classic reference book, Process Control Systems, by F.G. Shinskey. Diagrams from the book are graphically simulated on the computer screen and related directly to the text for effective training. You are given the opportunity to plug in new controller tuning values or change process characteristics. This format allows unlimited exploration of what if scenarios, without tying up actual process equipment or interfering with process operations. (Part #L0121BC)
Mechanical Filled Thermal Systems

This DVD provides an important exploration of the three widely used SAMA classifications: Class I (liquid-expansion), Class II (vapor-pressure), and Class III (gas-pressure). It also covers applications, compensation, installation, and maintenance. (Part #B0150VN)
Shinskey on Relative-Gain Analysis

In this detailed analysis of the mathematical development of a technique to control multiple interacting loops, F.G. Shinskey describes the relative-gain matrix array for two interacting feedback control loops. The technique is particularly useful in distillation control. (Part #B0180BP)
Fundamentals of Automatic Control

This set of six 30-minute DVDs provides an excellent, nonmathematical overview of the basics of feedback control, PDI control modes, tuning and common combinationtypes of control (cascade, ratio, and auto-selector). With this program, you will learn the significance of the basic control loop elements measurement, set point, supply, and load. You will learn how to use reverse and direct acting controllers to produce negative feedback and how to recognize the basic process characteristics (dead time and capacity). You will learn how to tune controllers to produce quarter amplitude measurement response and minimize offset. The program is particularly appropriate for beginning technicians and engineers working on control loops. (Part #B0150US)
Fundamentals of Control Valves

This concise program (viewing time under one hour) introduces maintenance technicians and engineers to the four important types of control valves (globe, Saunders, ball, and butterfly), their functions, and their interactions with the control loop and the entire process. Topics include basic principles of operation, materials, construction features, component parts, rangeability, flow characteristics, and hysteresis. (Part #B0180HQ)
Survey of Instrumentation Electronics

This extensive program (five DVDs, three hours 20 minutes viewing time) explores the principles of basic instrumentation electronics, including Ohms Law, series and parallel circuits, capacitors and RC circuits, semiconductors. (Part #B0150VY)
Principles of Feedforward Control

Applications expert Lew Gordon presents a non-mathematical, but technically detailed, overview of feedforward control in this series of three 30-minute DVDs. Covering the topic from initial consideration to implementation, the DVD reviews basic control problems, principles of feedforward control, mixing of flows, feedback trim, mass and energy balance equations, temperature control, calculation of dynamic compensation, the mathematical model for feedforward control, scaling, and instrumentation. (Part #B0150WM)
Fundamentals of Operational Amplifiers

This 2-1/2 hour program provides an understanding of op amp characteristic and performance, the Five golden rules of Op Amps, and typical applications for a firm basis in op amp circuitry. (Part #B0150VD)
Calibrating Pneumatic Force-Balance Transmitters

For instrument technicians and trainees who need to know calibration procedures for pneumatic force-balance transmitters, this 50-minute program describes the principles and applications of force-balance mechanisms, including measurement range, elevation, and suppression. (Part #B0150WE)
Hierarchical Control (Evaporator, Distillation, and Its Benefits)

In 30 minutes, this DVD provides a good non-mathematical review of the principles of hierarchical control for anyone already familiar with basic process control. Noted expert F.G. Shinskey provides his insights on feedback trim, cascade, and feedforward control modes and dynamic compensation on an evaporator unit. (Part #B0150YK)
