KCPC-109

PRESSURE CONTROL TRAINER

DESCRIPTION :
The setup consists of a process tank in which compressed air
enters through a Pneumatic control valve. The pressure
transmitter is fitted on the process tank. The air pressure in
process tank is sensed by the transmitter and communicated to
the digital indicating controller. This measured variable is
compared with the Set Point by controller and output is
generated and given to I/P converter, which in turn supply the
3-15 Psig pressure to vary the opening of the Pneumatic control
valve to eliminate the error observed. As the opening of
pneumatic control valve varies, the pressure in the Process Tank gets effected. This process goes on until the Set Point
target is achieved. A ball valve is also provided in the process tank to disturb the system and to observe the effect of
disturbance. These units along with necessary piping are supported in a well-designed housing and are fixed on base
plate.
The present set-up is completely computerized controlled. The Digital Indicating Controller have a facility to interface
the system with computer which enables to change the PID parameters using computer. The educational software and
data-logging package has been developed for unit. The software environment base is of Labview of NATIONAL
INSTRUMENTS, USA. This software is compatible to interfacing unit designed by K. C. Engineers. This software
package provides a comprehensive educational software environment within which the PID investigations can be
performed. This software is capable to tabulate the sample readings according to the requirement of experiment under
study and results obtained can be compared. The real time data acquisition can be done by interfacing the set-up with
computer using software. This software can be used outside the laboratory with the computer to familiarize the students
with the equipment and procedures with the help of Flow Diagrams provided in the software. In flow diagrams Set Point,
Process Variable and Controllers Output are visible on the screen and this data can be transferred in Excel Files for
further calculations, plotting graphs etc. Software allows the user to have control on sampling time, data logging, printing
the stored data.
