Good Tuning: A Pocket Guide

ISBN: 9781941546437

Every practicing instrument, process control and processengineer will want to have this practical and to-the-point pocketguide on good tuning. Good Tuning, A Pocket Guide, Fourth Editionis a portable, concise summary of all the practical considerationsfor tuning loops. It includes step-by-step descriptions of thethree best field-proven tuning procedures, a table of typicaltuning settings, a summary of valve performance problems, logicdiagrams for trouble-shooting, and more than 70 “rule of thumb.”The PID controller has an incredible number of options andparameters besides tuning settings. Most of the power of the PIDremains untapped. This fourth edition provides the means to addressdifficult situations, meet different objectives, deal with a windowof allowable controller gains, achieve more robustness, and thebasis to get the most out of today’s more powerful software toolsfor auto-tuning and adaptive control. The understanding of theinterrelationship between the process, tuning, performance, and PIDfeatures enables automation and process engineers to work togetherto improve process efficiency and capacity.
