Practice

Objective

 Configure a Control Module

 Use las convenciones de nomenclatura para el Módulo de control y los bloques
de funciones dentro del módulo de control
 Configurar un módulo de control con un solo lazo PID

Prerequisites

 Experion PKS Server or Client machine loaded with Experion PKS Engineering
Tools
 Gráfico de Debutanizer_123 cargado en el servidor (esto se requerirá más
adelante para verificar la filosofía de control).
 Control Builder ejecutándose con dos ventanas de árbol abiertas

Introduction

El Heavy Feed Flow FC01 está construido en este laboratorio. Este bucle PID
requiere una transferencia automática y manual sin interrupciones con alarmas,
grupos e historización habilitados.

El bucle PID se construirá, cargará y activará. Los módulos de control restantes, de un

tipo similar, se importan al proyecto.

Para crear una estrategia de control, se debe construir un Módulo de control 11_FC01 y
se deben insertar y conectar bloques de funciones. Una vez que los módulos de control
están construidos o importados, puede probarlos con la simulación.

En esta práctica de laboratorio, creará un módulo de control para un bucle PID simple
11_FC01 para la alimentación pesada a la torre del debutanizador T-100.
