Control Station
Control Station (Manchester, CT) announced Loop-Pro software developed for tuning industrial control loops — even under noisy, oscillatory and non-steady state conditions.
Features:
- Accepts live or historical process data
- Supports the PID algorithms of all major DCS and PLC systems, including control systems from Emerson, Honeywell, Rockwell Automation, Siemens and Yokogawa
- Accurately models highly variable data typical of manufacturing plants
- Graphically simulates a control loop's performance
- Allows users to adjust tuning parameters for optimal responsiveness
- Allows users to evaluate alternative controller configurations, including P-Only, PI, PID and PID with filter
- Lists a select set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), including settling time and percent overshoot
- Loop-Pro accurately models data collected in open and closed-loop
- Supports integrating and non-integrating processes
- Automatically generates a report of each session that documents key tuning details and that also supports internal communications
