2 Days

Using actual low voltage control circuits, controllers, and computer logging/graphing programs, participants will learn to identify the components and sub-circuits of a control system. Learn to deploy the “Ten Step Troubleshooting Process” (TSTP) for efficient fault finding.

Participants will also learn to list sources of signal “noise”, explain error correction techniques, and adjust PID control parameters.

The course is 70% hands-on work with plenty of time to experiment, to increase comfort levels with closed loop controls.
