This lesson is designed for participants familiar with the basics of instrument control including the proportional, integral, and derivative control modes.
This lesson explains tuning methods and principles behind the three methods of tuning a controller: ultimate, reaction curve, and trial and error. The lesson presents the characteristics of a properly timed process response and relates these to proportional, integral, and derivative control actions. In addition, step-by-step procedures for tuning controllers using each method are demonstrated.
This comprehensive interactive multimedia training program was produced in association with the Instrument Society of America (ISA). This one lesson program trains participants in three methods of controller tuning and Me various steps needed to be taken in each method.
This program is excellent for training technicians, operators, control practitioners and engineers as well as for the multi‑craft training needs of process and manufacturing facilities.
