Welcome to the latest video from PiControl Solutions on practical Industrial System Identification and Process Control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos. We have seen that it is not possible to completely identify all parameters of the second-order transfer function by just visual inspection, therefore, software identification is […]
Welcome to the new video from PiControl Solutions on practical industrial system identification and process control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos. In this video we elaborate how to easily identify zero-order transfer function parameters using system identification software. Zero-order (integrating) processes occur in approximately 15% of industrial […]
Welcome to the fifth video from PiControl Solutions on practical Industrial System Identification and Process Control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos. Even though we can visually identify First-Order Transfer Function parameters, we need to understand that it is sometimes not that simple to identify them as accurate […]
Welcome to the fourth video from PiControl Solutions on practical Industrial System Identification and Process Control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos. Second-order processes on step tests react in two very original shapes: S-shape and a Wavy shape. But it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish it from […]
CNRL continues to use PiControl’s PITOPS PID tuning software for entire plant-wide application. PITOPS PID tuning software is integrated with APC design (advanced process control design) and MPC implementation techniques (model predictive control). The model improvement functionality uses the new and improved GRG optimization technique (generalized reduced gradient method of optimization) that proves to be […]
Welcome to the first educational video from PiControl Solutions on practical Industrial System Identification andProcess Control. Identification of process models is often needed inindustrial process control field. It is very important to understand and implement knowledge of process modeling. This knowledge gives ability to mathematically tune PID control loops, design and calculate PLC/DCS-based Advanced Process […]
Welcome to the third video from PiControl Solutions on practical Industrial System Identification and Process Control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos. In the first two videos, we have seen the identification of zero and first-order transfer functions. There was a difference in positive and negative process gain. […]
In recent times, most olefins plants crack ethane that is more readily available than a few decades ago. Olefins plants built during the 1970s to 1990s were often more complex. The olefins plants were equipped with more complex furnace configuration than today. The older olefins plant furnaces were designed for a lot of flexibility; they […]
Welcome to our second video from PiControl Solutions on practical Industrial System Identification and Process Control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos. In this video we continue with Transfer Function models. We will show you how to visually identify Zero-Order Transfer Function parameters with a delay, and like […]
