The Primary Source of Disagreement in Process Control Tips

The primary reason why there are so many and so different schools of thought about control algorithms and tuning can be traced back to one parameter in the process response. What PID tuning and what PID structure is pronounced as best and even whether PID control should be used is based on an assumed range of values for this parameter. A simple tool can open the mind to relative merits of different solutions and provide the means to see the whole picture eliminating disagreement. Read the full text.
