Problem Solution
Basically three parameters are controlled in this reactor. Temperature, Flow and Level of the tank.
Temperature controlling is best done by PID Temperature controller, so in many industries, controlling of
Temperature is assigned to PID control loop as shown in the diagram above.
Continuous level measurement is required. To do this, capacitance level measurement technique is used
because the tank may be Open or Close depending upon the process application. Capacitance Measurement
method works for both Open and Closed tanks.
Capacitance Level Measurement sensor comes along with Transmitter
to convert level output into
equivalent standard current signal 4-20mA. If level sensor does not have a transmitter, calibration has to be
done in order to achieve 4mA for Low level and 20mA for High level.
Analog I/O Modules are used to deal with analog input signals and analog output final control elements.
To process data, necessary conversions are made on the basis of desired output requirement.
