TaiJi-PID 3.0 MIMO, Cascade, Feedforward and Interactions!

 

TaiJi-PID models interactive processes and tune interactive loops.  

Hank Brittain from Top Control presents a webcast to demonstrate how this tool is used to tune interactive loops including cascade and feedforward. Attend this webcast and see how the tests are done while the process is running normally with all controls on.

This webcast on September 21 will demonstrate how TaiJi is powerful, simple and intuitive.

Webcast(free)

Do external disturbances drive your process away from target? Do you constantly have to deal with PID controllers that interact and fight one another, causing process oscillations?

Join Top Control and Matrikon experts as they show you how to easily measure the effects of disturbances and implement an effective feed-forward control strategy and how to identify and cancel interactions between PID loops, using Matrikon TaiJi 3.0.

This webcast which will explain theory, practice and results, will include:

1.      Example Process and Control Objective

a.      Tuning objectives and procedure

2.      Decoupling Control

a.      Measuring interaction between loops

b.      De-tuning interacting loops (a quick fix)

c.      Implementing decoupling to cancel loop interaction

3.      Feedforward Control

a.      Measuring the effect of the disturbance

b.      Implementing feedforward to cancel the disturbance

4.      Conclusions
