Read MoreHow Often Should PID Control Loops be Tuned?
When it comes to PID control loops and the right time for tuning practitioners generally fall into one of two camps. There is the group that adheres to a philosophy whereby PID control loops should be tuned more or less every year. That’s that. No debate. And there is another group that believes the answer for control loop tuning isn’t so cut and dried. From their perspective, it depends on the loop. It varies based on conditions. There is wisdom in both of these viewpoints.
Read MoreHow Should Control Loop Performance Issues Be Prioritized?
There are many paths to Heaven or so the saying goes. With a growing array of automation technologies, such a philosophical expression can be applied to process control and plant-wide optimization. Whether the goal is focused on uptime, throughput, or quality, control loop monitoring and diagnostic solutions provide meaningful insight into a facility’s performance. The insights gained from these technologies enable practitioners to proactively address bothersome issues before they become costly problems, and lead somewhere other than Heaven.

Model-Predictive Control (MPC) is advanced technology that optimizes the control and performance of business-critical production processes. So is Control Loop Performance Monitoring (CLPM) software. But if both help practitioners to optimize control loop performance, then what’s the difference?
