InterConnecting Automation is proud to reintroduce their advanced PID class to enhance and challenge your knowledge. For this class, ICA's expert instructor Doug Bell teams up with Cecil Smith, an expert with over 50 years experience in PID function. He has over 40 books available on PID on stores like Barnes n Noble. A well known expert in his field.
You will spend three days in an intense class strictly devoted to PID function. This specialty class will give you use of state of the art equipment along with two instructors at your disposal. This PID class will educate you on the short cuts and tools that the experts know and use. In addition, you will learn to setup, tune, troubleshoot and debug PID loops. It won’t stop there - you will experience adjusting the gain, reset, rate, and many other PID parameters, to see how they affect the loop.
If this is a class that you would be interested in attending, please email us your name, address, and phone number, and we will contact you with information on this outstanding, challenging specialty class.
