Controls engineering

The process engineering estabhshes so-called requirements specijication for the control engineers which contain the verbal description of the control steps the process requires. The descriptions of the requirements specification correspond more or less to explanations regarding the P I-typicals in section 4.4, Piping and instrumentation diagram . The adaptation of the requirements specifications to a concrete control system is provided by the performance specifications for the system supplier. 

The control program has to contain aU additional workflows for the operation of the plant. This includes not only normal, start-up and close-down operation as well as automatic and manual operation, but also the entire plant protection, such

The development of fiber optics technology, user-friendly displays, and enhanced data presentation capabihties have made on-line analysis acceptable within the plant manufactuting environment. However, it is apparent that a barrier stiU exists to some extent within many organizations between the process control engineers, the plant operations department, and the analytical function, and proper sampling is stiU the key to successful process analytical chemistry. The ultimate goal is not to handle the sample at ah. 

Material property specifications must be written by design and material engineers to control engineering requirements and to control incoming raw material quahty. Material property requirements depend on various ia-use functional needs ia terms of electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, optical, and magnetic properties. 

This representation is easily understandable by those knowledgeable about the process technology and is a convenient mechanism for conveying the process requirements to the control engineers responsible for implementing the batch logic. 

The primary impact of unfavorable measurement dynamics is on the performance of closed loop control systems. This explains why most control engineers are very concerned with measurement dynamics. The goal to improve the dynamic characteristics of measurement devices is made difficult because the discussion regarding measurement dynamics is often subjective. 

Limited Data First, plant data are limited. Unfortunately, those easiest to obtain are not necessarily the most useful. In many cases, the measurements that are absolutely required for accurate model development are unavailable. For those that are available, the sensitivity of the parameter estimate, model evaluation, and/or subsequent conclusion to a particiilar measurement may be very low. Design or control engineers seldom look at model development as the primaiy reason for placing sensors. Further, because equipment is frequently not operated in the intended region, the sensitive locations in space and time have shifted. Finally, because the cost-effectiveness of measurements can be difficult to justify, many plants are underinstru-mented. 

The critical role of analysts introduces a potential for bias that overrides all others—the an ysts evaluation of the plant information. Analysts must recognize that the operators methods, designers models, and control engineers models have merit but must so beware they can be misleading. If the analysts are not familiar with the unit, the explanations are seductive, particiilarly since there is the motivation to avoid antagonizing the operators and other engineers.

In control engineering, the way in which the system outputs respond in changes to the system inputs (i.e. the system response) is very important. The control system design engineer will attempt to evaluate the system response by determining a mathematical model for the system. Knowledge of the system inputs, together with the mathematical model, will allow the system outputs to be calculated.
