The document discusses various types of controllers used in process control systems. It describes two-position or on-off controllers that have two output states of fully on or fully off. These controllers can exhibit cycling behavior as the process variable oscillates around the setpoint. Multi-position controllers are also covered, which have more than two output levels to help reduce cycling. The document provides examples of how different controller types respond based on the error between the measured process variable and desired setpoint.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Heap sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on Binary Heap data structure. It is similar to the selection sort where we first find the minimum element and place the minimum element at the beginning. Repeat the same process for the remaining elements.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Online aptitude test management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The purpose of on-line aptitude test system is to take online test in an efficient manner and no time wasting for checking the paper. The main objective of on-line aptitude test system is to efficiently evaluate the candidate thoroughly through a fully automated system that not only saves lot of time but also gives fast results. For students they give papers according to their convenience and time and there is no need of using extra thing like paper, pen etc. This can be used in educational institutions as well as in corporate world. Can be used anywhere any time as it is a web based application (user Location doesn’t matter). No restriction that examiner has to be present when the candidate takes the test.
Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.

2. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
• Let us now examine the general properties of the controller
shown in Figure.
To review:
1. Inputs to the controller are a measured indication of both the
controlled variable and a setpoint representing the desired
value of the variable, expressed in the same fashion as the
measurement;
3. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
2. The controller output is a signal representing action to be
taken when the measured value of the controlled variable
deviates from the setpoint.
3. The measured indication of a variable is denoted by b, and
the actual variable is denoted by c. Thus, if a sensor measures
temperature by conversion to resistance, the actual variable is
temperature in degrees Celsius, but the measured indication
is resistance in ohms.
4. Further conversion may be performed by transducers or
transmitters to provide a current in mA, for example. In such
a case, the current becomes the measured indication of the
variable.
4. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Error:
• The deviation or error of the controlled variable from the
setpoint is given by
e = r – b (15.1)
where
r = setpoint of variable (reference)
b = measured indication of variable
e = error
• Equation (15.1) expresses error in an absolute sense, or in
units of the measured analog of the control signal. Thus, if
the setpoint in a 4 to 20 mA range corresponds to 9.9 mA and
the measured value is 10.7 mA, we have an error of – 0.8mA.
5. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
• To describe controller operation in a general way, it is better
to express the error as percent of the measured variable range
(i.e., the span).
• The measured value of a variable can be expressed as percent
of span over a range of measurement by the equation
(15.2)
where cp = measured value as percent of measurement range
c = actual measured value
cmin = minimum of measured value
cmax = maximum of measured value

6. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Cycling:
• One of the most important modes is an oscillation of the
error about zero. This means the variable is cycling above
and below the setpoint value.
• Such cycling may continue indefinitely, in which case we
have steady-state cycling. Here we are interested in both the
peak amplitude of the error and the period of the oscillation.
• If the cycling amplitude decays to zero, however, we have a
cyclic transient error. Here we are interested in the initial
error, the period of the cyclic oscillation, and decay time for
the error to reach zero.
7. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Reverse and Direct Action:
• The error that results from measurement of the controlled
variable may be positive or negative, because the value may
be greater or less than the setpoint.
• How this polarity of the error changes the controller output
can be selected according to the nature of the process.
• A controller operates with direct action when an increasing
value of the controlled variable causes an increasing value of
the controller output. An example would be a level-control
system that outputs a signal to an output valve.
• Clearly, if the level rises (increases), the valve should be
opened (i.e., its drive signal should be increased).
8. Control System Parameters:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Reverse and Direct Action:
• Reverse action is the opposite case, where an increase in a
controlled variable causes a decrease in controller output.
• An example of this would be a simple temperature control
from a heater. If the temperature increases, the drive to the
heater should be decreased.
9. Classification of Controller Modes:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
10. Discontinuous Controller Modes:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Two-Position Mode:
• The most elementary controller mode is the ON/OFF, or two-
position, mode. This is an example of a discontinuous mode.
• It is the simplest and the cheapest. Although an analytic
equation cannot be written, we can, in general, write
• When the measured value is less than the setpoint, full
controller output results. When it is more than the setpoint,
the controller output is zero. A heater is a common example.
If the temperature drops below a setpoint, the heater is turned
ON. If the temperature rises above the setpoint, it turns OFF.

Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Neutral Zone:
• Any practical implementation of the two-position controller,
there is an overlap as increases through zero or decreases
through zero. In this span, no change in controller output
occurs.
• This is best shown in Figure 15.1, which plots p versus ep for
a two-position controller.
Figure 15.1 Two-position controller action with neutral zone
12. Discontinuous Controller Modes:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Neutral Zone:
• We see that until an increasing error changes by ∆ep above
zero, the controller output will not change state.
• In decreasing, it must fall ∆ep below zero before the controller
changes to the 0% rating.
• The range 2∆ep, which is referred to as the neutral zone or
differential gap, is often purposely designed above a certain
minimum quantity to prevent excessive cycling.
• The existence of such a neutral zone is an example of
desirable hysteresis in a system.

Example:
15.1 A liquid-level control system linearly converts a
displacement of 2 to 3 m into a 4 to 20-mA control signal. A
relay serves as the two-position controller to open or close an
inlet valve. The relay closes at 12 mA and opens at 10 mA. Find
(a) the relation between displacement level and current,
(b) the neutral zone or displacement gap in meters.
Solution: The relation between level and a current is a linear
equation such as H = K I + H0
Solving yields: K=0.0625 m/mA, H0=1.75m, HH=2.5m, and
HL=2.375m.
Neutral zone is 2.5 – 2.375 = 0.125m

Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Assignment 2.1:
The temperature of water in a tank is controlled by a two-
position controller. When the heater is off the temperature drops
at 2 K per minute. When the heater is on the temperature rises at
4 K per minute. The setpoint is 323 K and the neutral zone is
±4% of the setpoint. There is a 0.5-min lag at both the on and off
switch points. Find the period of oscillation and plot the water
temperature versus time.
17. Discontinuous Controller Modes:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Multi-Position Mode:
• A logical extension of the previous two-position control
mode is to provide several intermediate, rather than only two,
settings of the controller output.
• This discontinuous control mode is used in an attempt to
reduce the cycling behavior and overshoot and undershoot
inherent in the two-position mode.
• As an example, a three position controller can be
represented as

18. Discontinuous Controller Modes:
Process Instrumentation and Control (ICE 401)
Dr. S.Meenatchisundaram, MIT, Manipal, Aug – Nov 2015
Multi-Position Mode:
• As long as the error is between and of the setpoint, the
controller stays at some nominal setting indicated by a
controller output of 50%.
• If the error exceeds the setpoint by or more, then the output
is increased by 100%. If it is less than the setpoint by or
more, the controller output is reduced to zero.
• Figure 15.4 illustrates this mode graphically. Some small
neutral zone usually exists about the change points, but not
by design; thus, it is not shown. This type of control mode
usually requires a more complicated final control element,
because it must have more than two settings.
