Fundamentals of automatic
process control
• Process:
• As a set of different sub processes and activities
between them
• Control variable: the parameter which we want to
control is called control variable
• manipulated variable : The variable which is
manipulated to correct the control variable is called
manipulated variable or controlled variable
•
• In water heating system , we have to control the temp.
of the water coming out. This can be controlled by
varying the steam flow rate . Asume that the temp.
of the steam is constant. Out put temp. can be
varied by steam flow rate.Here the tem.of the water
which we want to control s called control variable
• Temp is controlled by
manipulating steam flow rate .so
steam flow rate is called
manipulated variable or
controlled variable
• Other factors that affect the
output temp. are temp. of the
incoming water , atmospheric
temp etc. These are called load
variables
