Optimizing
PID Loop Tuning Technology
LOOP-PRO makes it easy to optimize for optimal control loop performance.
OPTIMIZING
Eliminate The Guesswork, Get It Right The First Time
The age of trial-and-error tuning has ended. It’s no longer necessary to adjust tuning coefficients time and time again in order to achieve optimal loop control. LOOP-PRO’s graphic tools and descriptive statistics eliminate the guess work. They provide the insights that you need to get tuning coefficients right the first time around.
LOOP-PRO enables users to graphically simulate the performance of new tuning parameters and to evaluate control improvements based on a core set of key performance indicators. Using the Internal Model Control (IMC) correlations, a controller can be easily adjusted for its unique control objective. With LOOP-PRO’s Closed-Loop Time Constant slider bar, a given controller can be customized for either a more aggressive or a more conservative response. KPIs such as Settling Time and Percent Overshoot assure that LOOP-PRO tunings deliver the appropriate control.
Each license of LOOP-PRO supports multiple concurrent instances and it easily supports the tuning of two or more cascaded loops.
SUCCESS STORIES
What customers and partners are saying about Control Station
3M
"I had a temperature differential that was low and a flow that was high. So high in fact that it required 2 chillers to run. We used LOOP-PRO to tune the process. After tuning 75 loops, the temperature differential was at an industry standard and the flow was lower. It saved us maintenance time, energy, and productivity."
Jason Rumpza
Process Control Engineer
Bigelow Liptak
"Optimizing controller performance was a breeze with LOOP-PRO. A single bump test was all that we needed to accurately model the complex dynamics of each control loop. The software’s graphics made it easy to finely tune parameters for optimal responsiveness and control. It easily reduced the time we budgeted for tuning by over 80%. It’s a truly remarkable product."
