OverviewThe Enhanced Loop Tuning workshop provides delegates with basic revision of the PID algorithm and its
digital implementation (e.g. PLC or DCS) and progresses through an examination
of all the common industrial processes. There is a section on measurement and
control hardware and the effects of poorly designed or maintained equipment
when trying to optimize a control system. Building on this knowledge the
delegates will learn all the skills to analyse and tune the majority of control
loops in their own plants.
Learning EnvironmentThis workshop is held within a
computer lab where each participant is given dedicated use of a computer for
the duration of the course. The course is comprised of presentations, examples,
demonstrations and hands-on exercises. Participants are encouraged to discuss
current alarm and event issues they face.
