Applications of Self-tuning Control

“Sure I can tune a loop. Who can’t? They’ve even got software that can do it with a single click on a button. Trouble is, we use this facility to make lots of different stuff, so my system’s loop tuning changes day-to-day. Now how am I supposed to keep up with that?”

If you work in a changing environment, there may just be a way to keep your facility properly tuned despite constantly changing working conditions. Today self-tuning controllers have achieved some success in dealing with these types of problems. Editor Vance VanDoren produced an overview of the several opportunities in this area in his piece, “Applications of Self-tuning Control (1.23MB PDF),” in the September 2007 issue of Control Engineering magazine. This article describes how many automation practitioners have successfully used new products like DeltaV Insight software to get a handle on tough and changing process conditions.
