LABORATORY EXERCISES

PC-ControLAB is supplied with 24 laboratory and demonstration exercises, ready for immediate use in a process control course or training seminar. Registered users may freely copy these for use in a course, or make adaptations as necessary. These correlate well with chapters in Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Development and Application, written by the program developer.
