Unit Description and General Aims
The subject quickly moves from a review of process control fundamentals to multivariable control
where the student will gain a deep understanding of the key principles ranging from nature of
multivariable systems, process models to interaction analysis, loop pairing and relative gain arrays.
The student is then exposed to a detailed review of digital process control and its application. A
detailed examination is then performed of model predictive control ranging from dynamic matrix
control, model algorithm control to design concepts. An in-depth application of statistical process
control with advanced process control is then undertaken. The course is concluded by a study of
advanced topics in process control with an emphasis on the application of the technologies.
