Know the function of the pneumatic control unit. Know the function of the data trend recorder. Apply calibration techniques used to verify the functionality of process control equipment.
	INST 10040 - Training System Familiarization 2 1 CR The student will learn how the process workstation functions as a complete unit. This will include understanding and working safely around a combination of electrical systems, pneumatic controls, and pressurized vessels. The student will receive hands-on instructions regarding different open and closed control systems which include linear, proportional, integral, and derivative control loops. Course Learning Outcomes: Understand the function of basic transducer operations. Know the function of the pneumatic control unit. Know the function of the data trend recorder. Apply calibration techniques used to verify the functionality of process control equipment.
