This workshop reviews essential functions and features associated with the PlantESP Loop Performance Monitoring solution. Participants learn how to apply PlantESP in the plant-wide analysis of PID controller performance.
This course is specific to the PlantESP application.
Operators, Technicians, and Engineers tasked with using PlantESP in the maintenance and/or optimization of control loop performance.
Learn how to utilize PlantESP in the systematic identification, isolation, and correction of controller-related performance issues.
The presentation of key concepts is followed by demos of real-world examples and hands-on exercises.
Below is the agenda for the Essentials of PlantESP virtual training workshop. The workshop will be delivered in daily segments estimated at four (4) hours in duration. Daily breaks of approximately fifteen (15) minutes will be provided by the instructor at appropriate stages of the workshop.
