Prozesssteuerungs

Prozesssteuerung, also known as process control, is a core concept in industrial automation and manufacturing. It focuses on monitoring, regulating, and adjusting process variables—including temperature, pressure, flow rate, or composition—to maintain system stability, optimize performance, and ensure product quality. The foundation of Prozesssteuerung is closed-loop control systems, which combine sensors (for data acquisition), controllers (to process signals and generate control actions), and actuators (to adjust process variables). Common control strategies include PID (proportional-integral-derivative) control, where feedback mechanisms continuously compare measured outputs with setpoints to minimize deviations. Prozesssteuerung is widely used across industries like chemical engineering, mechanical manufacturing, and energy production, enabling increased efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced safety. As a cornerstone of modern automation, it ensures continuous and reliable production by adapting to dynamic conditions through real-time adjustments.
