Overview

We are pleased to invite you to join us for a course on fundamentals of control loop tuning. In this course, you will learn practical loop tuning methods through hands-on lab exercises developed in DeltaV.

Topics

  • Introduction
  • How to Model a Process for Control?
  • What is a PID controller?
  • Lambda Tuning Method
  • Signal Filtering and Its Impact on Control
  • Valve Characteristics and Its Impact on Control
  • Cascade Control
  • Advanced Topics
 

Hands on Labs in DeltaV Environment

  • Lab 1 - Model a Flow Loop
