Control systems integrate elements whose function is to maintain a process variable at a desired level or within a desired range of values.  Instrumentation provides the various indications used to operate a nuclear facility. In some cases, operators record these indications for use in day-to-day operation of the facility. The information recorded helps the operator evaluate the current condition of the system and take actions if the conditions are not as expected.

This 2-hour interactive online course is the second in a series on Instrumentation and Control, which focuses on process controls used to maintain process variables in nuclear facilities.  Topics include classifications and functions of control systems and control system components, in addition to controllers and valve actuators necessary for the proper function of a control system.
