Course 9032 - EnTech Modern Loop Tuning
MLT is a 4-day course that introduces participants to
effective methods for determining optimal tuning parameters
for regulation of process.
The non-oscillatory EnTech tuning techiques, based on
Lambda concepts, are taught with a focus on minimizing
process variability. Effectiveness is gained by the
implementation of a tuning strategy that matches control
element dynamics to process operating requirements.
Participants learn how to recognize
acceptable/unacceptable control loop performance and to
identify the most common source of problems. Fundamental
tuning concepts, including the PID controller, process
dynamics, valve motion characteristics (backlash and
stiction), setpoint tracking and regulation, minimum
variance, integrating processes, and level control are
reviewed/demonstrated using case study expamples.
