MECH 2440 - Process Control Technologies

4 sem hrs cr

(3 hours lecture-2 hours lab)

This course is a study of the Process Control technologies associated with a complex mechatronics system. Topics covered will include the Closed Loop Control; interaction between controllers, sensors and actuators; controller operating parameters; PID controllers; ON/OFF and PID controllers; and the differences between controllers typically used in mechatronic systems. The analysis of plant documentation and manuals, the creation and interpretation of charts with diagrams for time-based changes of measured values will also be covered. Prerequisite: MECH 1310 ; and MATH 1710  or MATH 1720  or MATH 1730  or MATH 1910 , with a grade of “C” or better

In rare and unusual circumstances, a course prerequisite can be overridden with the permission of the Department Lead for the discipline. Corequisite: MECH 1330
