Course Description
Instrumentation plays a critical role in the measurement and control of modern process plant operation. Instruments are used to measure and control the condition of process streams as they pass through a plant and to automatically stop or shut down the process if the parameters exceed certain limits. This module provides fundamental knowledge & understanding of Process Control Systems and Elements and Electronic Control Instrumentation.
