BASIC ELEMENTS OF
CONTROL SYSTEM
A Control System is a device, or a collection of devices that
manage the behavior of other devices.
- is an interconnection of components connected or related in
such a manner as to command, direct, or regulate itself or
another system.
Basic Elements:
- Sensor
- Final Element
- Transmitter
- Controller (Distributed Control System / DCS)

 Manual Control
An operator is required to run the
plant and has to calculate the
manipulated variable manually.
Automatic Control
In an automatic control loop,
a controller compares a measured
value of a process with a desired set
value, and processes the resulting error
signal to change some input to the
process, in such a way that the process
stays at its set point despite
disturbances.

IMPORTANCE OF PROCESS
CONTROL / CONTROL SYSTEMS
Safety
The primary purpose of a Process Control system is safety:
personnel safety, environmental safety and equipment safety. The
safety of plant personnel and the community is the highest priority
in any operation.
Quality
In addition to safety, process control systems are central to
maintaining product quality. In blending and batching operations,
control systems maintain the proper ratio of ingredients to deliver
a consistent product.
Profit
When safety and quality concerns are met, process control
objectives can be focused on profit.
The challenge in process control is to do so safely without
compromising product quality.
Process Optimization, improve system productivity and reliability
