PID Training

InterConnecting Automation is proud to announce the start of their new PID class to enhance and challenge your knowledge. This class as with the PLC class will include the expert instruction of Doug Bell. He will team up with Cecil Smith a 30 years plus expert in PID function. You will spend three days in an intense class strictly devoted to PID function. This specialty class will give you use of state of the art equipment along with two instructors at your disposal.

This PID class will educate you on the short cuts and tools that the experts know & use. In addition, you will learn to setup, tune, troubleshoot and debug PID loops. It won't stop there, you will experience adjusting the gain, reset, rate, and many other PID parameters, to see how they affect the loop.

If this is a class that you would be interested in attending please email us your name, address, and phone number. InterConnecting Automation will then contact you with information on this outstanding, challenging specialty class.
