This report basically discusses the research done and basic understanding of the chosen topic, which is Implementation of PID Controller in Cascade Mode For Two Tank System. The objective of the project is to improve the efficiency of the process control on the Mobile Flowmeter Calibration Trainer through implementation of PID controller in cascade mode. Whereas in the existing system, the controller used to control the flow of the plant is working in single mode which is less efficient. This pilot plant is equipped with three different flowmeter which are Coriolis Flowmeter, Vortex Flowmeter and Orifice Flowmeter. The Coriolis Flowmeter is used as the master flowmeter and two others flowmeter can be connected in series with master flowmeter. In addition this project will also include the installation of two channel flat bed recorder on the pilot plant. This project will begin with numerous researches either by journal references or seeking internet information that accomplished based on the project title. In order to seek out for significant information, the next action to be taken is consulting certain problem regarding to the process control with expert technician. Several experiments will also be conducted as the introduction to have basic knowledge towards the plant. The scheduled experiments are Comparative Study of different Flowmeter and Flow Control and Controller Tuning. Then, fine tuning method for optimum controller technique and MATLAB simulation will be conducted. The performance of PID controller in single mode operation and cascade control will be compared. At the end of this project it is hope that the efficiency of process control for Mobile Flowmeter Calibration Trainer can be improved.
