  • Accelerating the Process Automation Learning Curve

    Jim Cahill
    We continue to hear stories of an increasing experience shortage in the process industries due to the retiring “baby boom” generation. This shortage manifests itself in numerous job openings for process manufacturers and automation suppliers including...

  • Robustness-Based Tuning

    Terry Blevins
    Before tuning calculations are applied in a control loop, it is good to consider how much the process gain and deadtime can change before the loop becomes unstable. In the DeltaV control system, this information is provided using a robustness plot that shows gain margin and phase margin as illustrated below. Information on this type … Continue reading » Read the full text.

  • New DeltaV Workstation Operating System Licensing Whitepaper

  • Commissioning PI Control – Integrating Process

    Terry Blevins
    When the control objective is to maintain the controlled parameter of an integrating process at setpoint under all operating conditions, then using PI (proportional-integral or proportional plus reset) controller, it is possible to automatically compensate for changes in disturbance inputs and maintain the controlled parameter at setpoint. However, the application of PI control to an … Continue reading » Read the full…

  • Surge Tank Control

    Terry Blevins
    Intermediate liquid storage tanks (surge tanks) are commonly installed between processing areas of the plant. Under normal operating conditions, these storage buffers allow each process area to be operated independently of the other process areas. Any imbalance in the area production rates within a plant will be reflected by a change in level of the … Continue reading » Read the full text.

  • Updated DeltaV SIS Logic Solver Product Data Sheet

    Larry Griffin

  • Easy to Apply Tuning Rules

    Terry Blevins
    Older control systems may not include tools that allow the PID tuning to be automatically established. In such cases, the following procedure outlined in Chapter 12 of Control Loop Foundation – Batch and Continuous Processes may be quickly applied to determine the tuning of a self-regulating process for PI control. In Chapter 4 of Advanced … Continue reading » Read the full text.

  • On-demand Tuning Example

    Terry Blevins
    Control system manufacturers have adopted different technologies to implement on-demand tuning. Because these tools are designed to work in a noisy process measurement environment, the tuning results are usually better than those achieved through manual tuning techniques. To illustrate the features that may be included in on-demand tuning capability, the on-demand tuning capability of the … Continue reading » Read the…

  • Selecting Control Response

    Terry Blevins
    After the process characteristics are identified, the information is then used to calculate the recommended loop tuning. The tuning rules used to derive controller parameters from process characteristics can be chosen as appropriate for the specific process and the desired speed of response. As addressed in Chapter 4 of Advanced Control Foundtion – Tools, Techniques, … Continue reading » Read the full text.
