Now that Rockwell Automation no longer offers RSTune and RSLoop Optimizer, customers have a compelling option through the company’s partner program.

The Rockwell Automation Encompass’s Product Partner program offers a dynamic solution for Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) loop control tuning software through its partner company Control Station, Inc. As of September 30, 2011, Rockwell Automation has discontinued the sale of RSTune® and RSLoop Optimizer. The company will honor existing support contracts, and advises its customers to seek migration elsewhere.
