Imagine that you just purchased software to help with the tuning of your plant’s control loops. You’re ready to enhance control and to improve production throughput and efficiency, right? With software successfully installed you consider the 100s if not 1000s of PID controllers regulating your facility’s processes. A question now comes into focus: Where do you start?
Read MoreHow to Model a PID Loop
As stated in a previous post, tuning PID controllers is a multi-step process. After you gather your data from your step test, the next step in the process is fitting a model to your Process Data. Fitting a model involves the analysis of bump test data and the calculation of tuning parameters that are specific to both your controller and your control objective. This post highlights some industry best practices for fitting a model to your test data.
