AMATROL Process Control Level and Flow Learning System (T5552)
This Web Site includes information for the delivery of the Automation Laboratory Final Project.
The Final Project for this subject consists on the characterization of the AMATROL Process Control Level and Flow Learning System (T5552). The precise control of the flow of a liquid is often needed as part of a process; this is accomplished using a valve to restrict the fluid stream. The T5552 Process Control System is a process simulator capable of controlling fluid flow and level using both open and closed loop control.
The Amatrol Process Control Level and Flow Learning System (T5552), which shows two of the most common types of process control systems; flow and liquid level. This process control provides the possibility of practicing both manual and automatic control, as well as study both open-loop and closed-loop systems. This is an example of process control systems that are used to control liquids and gases in a wide variety of industrial applications. The T5552 features industrial components mounted in a loop circuit to control the water flow rate between two tanks or the liquid level in one of them (Process control, n.d).

Additional to the technical knowledge of the process, it is essential to consider that safety is the highest priority in all modern industrial plants. Companies strive to increase the productivity while at the same time ensuring that no one is injured. Since process equipment deals with nearly all types of energy transmission, an operator or a technician should understand how to prevent accidents when using process control equipment. The basic safety attire when working with running machinery is: hard hat, safety glasses, heavy duty boots and rolled sleeves, avoid wearing loose fitting clothes, remove ties, watches, rings and other jewelry. Those rules will help to ensure personal safety when working around process equipment. (Amatrol Introduction to Process Control, 2011).
