Thanks to new browser-based tuning tools, PlantTriage Version 9 enables an engineer or technician to tune more than 50 control loops per day, says the vendor.
PlantTriage monitors the performance of all plant control loops and
instruments in real-time, providing prioritized, focused advice.
Prioritized tuning recommendations are shown in a standard Web browser
or via automated e-mail. Users can then perform simulations, fine-tune
the controller, select robustness and generate loop documentation. Live
links to detailed dashboards can be used to inspect all aspects of
control-loop performance. Only Microsoft Internet Explorer software is
required on the client computer. “Loop tuning has always been a
time-consuming process, with a lot of waiting. This new approach takes
all the waiting out of the process. Now, engineers and technicians can
confidently tune dozens of control loops a single day,” says George
Buckbee, vice president of product development at the vendor. ExperTune Inc.www.planttriage.com262.369.7711
