Process Control Block Diagrams

Process Control Block Diagrams

The home heating system for this discussion uses a home furnace that can only be either ON or OFF.

• Develop a home heating control loop block diagram clearly showing all the key elements.
• Discuss the organization and operation of this home heating control loop.
• Define the control objective, the measured process variable, and  the system disturbances and explain how your stated control objective  is achieved.

 The first step in learning process control is to develop a clear  understanding of its jargon. In this discussion activity we introduce  some basic jargon through a discussion of a control system for heating a  home. A home heating system is easily understood and, thus, it provides  a convenient platform for introducing the relevant terminology.
