| This course provides instruction for the I&C technician to convert plant parameters and process control setpoints into current or voltage data required for the various components in process loops. The course presents methods to calculate different loop component setpoints in order to obtain the desired operations from a process loop. The course reviews the equations and mathematics associated with calculations for various components such as bistables, square root extractors, function generators, and multiplier/dividers. The concepts associated with obtaining and measuring lead and lag time constants are also studied. The data used for problems and calculations originates from the Precautions, Limitations and Setpoints document and emphasizes plant systems such as the overtemperature DT and rod control circuits. |
