What is Lambda Tuning?

Tuning a PID controller should always start with a clear understanding of both the control objective and the Design Level of Operation (DLO).  Unfortunately a subsequent step (the calculation of tuning parameters) can often put practitioners in a bind relative to achieving the designated objective.

How Do I Perform an Effective Bump Test?

Bumping a process is a standard requirement when tuning a PID controller – whether you tune manually or with the help of software.  And, either way, applying industry best-practices will save you significant time and money.

How Do I Tune a PID Controller?

Techniques for modelling a process’ dynamics and calculating tuning parameters are widely available.  These approaches enable practitioners to tune controllers consistently and with reasonable results.  At Control Station we know a little about this topic as we’ve been sharing these techniques for decades and innovating software-based solutions that deliver even better results.
