The tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loops was an important change at HollyFrontier’s Navajo Refinery in Artesia, N.M. Its hands-on, “mandraulic” culture was no longer cutting ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Machines and processes are controlled using many strategies, from simple ladder logic to custom algorithms for specialized process control, but proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most ...

Simulink Control Design 3.0 is equipped with features that automate the process of tuning proportional PID controllers and new PID controller blocks. Users can quickly create controllers, select PID ...

So-called “advanced loop tuning” produces the same results as traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning, says Dr. George Cheng, co-founder and president of Cybosoft, General ...
