Read MoreHow Do I Tune a Temperature Loop?
Temperature is one of the more common types of self-regulating – also known as non-integrating – processes used in industry. Like other self-regulating loops, temperature loops tend to naturally settle at a new operating state when adjustments are made to the corresponding Controller Output. What’s more, temperature loops are nonlinear in their behavior and process dynamics can vary considerably from one range of operation to the next.
Read MoreHow Do I Tune a Level Controller?
Level controllers present challenges that are different from others. Although their presence is significant they lag behind Flow controllers in their overall share of the typical production facility’s process control landscape. Unlike other processes such as Temperature, Pressure and Flow, Level control loops demonstrate different dynamics, they don’t play by the same rules as the non-integrating (also known as self-regulating) types. And although best-practices for modeling and tuning Level loops are similar they involve nuances that can hamper a less experienced practitioner.
