2.  Instrumentation is defined as the art and
science of measurement and control of
process variables within a production or
manufacturing area.

3. In the Process plant Instrumentation involves following basic elements
 Sensing & Measuring:- Measuring of process variable, Such as Flow,
Temperature, Pressure and Level is done by measuring device like
Orifice, RTD, Thermocouple,Pressure Gauge, Temperature gauge and
Transmitters.
 Transmitting :- Measuring the process variable at the accuracy
required and transmitting the controller for further manipulation.
 Controller:- Device that controls output for final control element
based on input and set point requirement.
 Final Control :- Done by final control element such as control valves
motor. Final control element restrict or allows the process as per the
output of the controller

4.  Process Value/Variable(PV):- The measured
value of the Process system.
 Set Value/Variable(SV):- The desired value
of the controlled variable(required process
value).
 Manipulated Value/Variable(MV) :-The
process variable being adjusted by the
controller to maintain the controlled
variable at the set point.

5.  Transmitters are devices which sense the
mechanical value converts it into electrical
value and transmit it to control station and
also it display the process value locally for
operators.
 A Transmitter is a device that produces an
output signal, often in the form of a 4–
20 mA electrical current signal
 Transmitter =
Sensor+Convertor(Transducer)+Display

6.  In Process industry transmitters are
categories broadly in 4 Part
 Pressure transmitter (PT)
 Flow Transmitter (FT)
 Level transmitter (LT)
 Temperature Transmitter (TT)

7.  A Pressure transmitter is a device which sense
the process pressure with help of diaphragm
and convert mechanical effect into electrical
signal with the help of transducer and then
transmit in 4-20 ma analog signal to
controller.

8.  A Flow transmitter is a device which sense the
process flow with help of flow measuring
devices and convert mechanical effect into
electrical signal with the help of transducer
and then transmit in 4-20 ma analog signal
to controller.

9.  A Level transmitter is a device which sense
the process level in a closed or open vessels
with help of level measuring devices and
convert mechanical effect into electrical
signal with the help of transducer and then
transmit in 4-20 ma analog signal to
controller.

10.  A Temperature transmitter is a device which
sense the process temperature with help of
temperature measuring devices and convert
the temperature effect into electrical signal
with the help of transducer and then transmit
in 4-20 ma analog signal to controller.
