Description:

Optimization by tuning regulatory (PID) controllers remains one of the simplest and most cost effective means of managing and reducing variability in nearly every process today. Yet few sites have anything resembling a systematic maintenance-like approach to this, despite methodology that has been known for decades. The reason is that this decades-old methodology is time consuming, requires expert knowledge, and most often entails risky open-loop testing that few are willing to undertake. This paper will show that Tai Ji PID, software migrated from the Tai Ji model identification methodology used for MPC applications, can perform closed loop analysis, often with normal operating data. For the first time, it is now possible to optimally tune every PID loop in a plant with minimal time and risk.
