Control Loops & PID Basics

How a feedback control loop holds a process at setpoint: the measure-compare-compute-actuate cycle, what proportional, integral and derivative action each contribute, the symptoms of poor tuning, cascade and feedforward strategies, and how to monitor loop performance. For operators, instrument technicians and engineers in process plants.

Чему вы научитесь

  • Describe the elements of a feedback control loop and the order in which they act
  • Explain in plain language what proportional, integral and derivative action each contribute
  • Recognise the symptoms of poor tuning, including sluggish response, oscillation, hunting and sustained offset
  • Explain how loops interact and why cascade and feedforward strategies are used
  • Decide when a loop should be switched to manual and how to do so safely
  • Apply basic loop performance monitoring to identify and prioritise the worst-performing loops
