Commissioning Control Systems – Selection of Control Structure

Terry Blevins and Greg McMillan

Most control systems allow the user to pick the components, also known as the structure of the PID algorithm, that will be used in a control application. In some cases, this is done by providing different control blocks for P, PI, or PID. However, some...

Batch vs. Continuous Control and Optimization – Part 2

Terry Blevins and Greg McMillan

Batch and continuous temperature loops can have vastly different responses. Fortunately, temperature loops have a characteristic early in the response that enables a fast identification of the process dynamics. The resulting models can be used for process...
