Module Introduction
A control system consists of a group of interconnected components that act together to satisfy a process control objective. The physical components that carry out these tasks include instrumentation such as measuring equipment, controllers, and final control elements. This training module is designed to provide you with the tools to understand the fundamentals of process control, common instruments, and control schemes so that you can maximize your input to the operation.
