API RP 550 P1 S5-1985 Manual on Installation of Refinery Instruments and Control Systems - Part I - Process Instrumentation and Control Section 5 - Controllers and Control Systems (Fourth Edition)
This section presents recommendations for the application and installation of automatic controllers and control systems. A brief discussion of programmable controllers is also included. Definitions of control terms are provided@ and controller types are described. A presentation of distributed control systems@ other than user programmable@ is included. Computer-based control systems that are user programmable are covered in RP 550@ Part I@ Section 14. Modes of control most frequently applied in the refining industry are discussed along with an empirical approach to controller tuning. Special control applications@ such as cascade and feed-forward@ are also discussed@ including digital blending systems. Some of the environmental and safety considerations for the location and mounting of controllers are discussed. Guidelines are provided to aid in the design and installation of both pneumatic and electronic control systems. Finally@ some considerations for acceptance testing and check out are reviewed.
