Suitable for beginners, this book takes a practical but systematic
approach to tuning. The aim is to provide insight into tuning
procedures rather than a series of formulas to be memorized. The
author gives helpful rules of thumb to speed the learning process
during field training. The text begins with a discussion of common
techniques for measuring the dynamic response of a process and
choosing appropriate performance criteria. Later chapters cover
selection and tuning of feedback control modes, including computer-
and microprocessor-based controllers, and advanced modes. The
second edition includes numerous examples of tuning, including the
effect of hysteresis in flow control loops, averaging and tight
level control, cascade control of a jacketed chemical reactor,
feedforward control of a heater, and loop interaction and ratio
control in a blender. Also included is an introduction to a model
reference control and a chemical reactor control example to
illustrate it. Contents: Feedback Controllers Open-Loop
Characterization of Process Dynamics How to Select Feedback
Controller Modes How to Tune Feedback Controllers Computer Feedback
Control Tuning Cascade Control Systems Feedforward, Ratio,
Multivariable, Adaptive, and Self Tuning Control and more.
