PID Fundamentals, Instrumentation & Process Dynamics
Core concepts of process control, instrumentation basics, process dynamics and filtering as the foundation for stable and responsive control loops.

Practical PID Tuning & Loop Performance
Systematic PID tuning methods from structured trial-and-error to computer-based tuning, with a focus on flows, pressures, temperatures and levels in real DCS environments. 

Level, Cascade & Loop Monitoring Strategies
Design and tuning of level and cascade control schemes, plus control loop monitoring and computer-based performance assessment to build a robust basic control layer. 

Advanced Regulatory Control (ARC) Techniques
Implementation of feedforward control, furnace control, handling non-linearities with adaptive control, deadtime compensation, decoupling and other ARC schemes to improve key process variables. 

Constraint & Multivariable Control Foundations
Relative gain analysis, constraint and override control, and an introduction to multivariable predictive control as a bridge from advanced regulatory control to full APC projects.
