Distributed control systems (DCS) are almost in every plant now. In smaller plants there are programmable logic controllers (PLC). With mounting pressures due to global competition and increasing importance of running plants and factories more efficiently, companies are looking for ideas and recommendations.
Advanced process control (APC) can give 2 to 10% increase in production rates or profit margins. A lot of advanced process control (APC) can be done effectively and well inside an existing DCS or even a PLC. Many though do not use this attractive functionality available in any DCS or PLC. This is because do implement advanced process control (APC), the ability to identify dynamic models is required. Colleges teach the complex and not so practical Laplace domain theory, or frequency domain analysis or discrete domain theory. None of which help practical implementation of advanced process control (APC) in the practical control room environment.
PiControl Solutions technology is new, revolutionary and breakthrough and surpasses and can beat MathWorks, Honeywell, Emerson or any control company. PiControl Solutions has developed amazing new technology and algorithms that work entirely in the time domain.
PiControl Solutions process control, PID tuning, control loop monitoring, closed-loop system identification software packages can handle SISO / MISO and MIMO systems and can even use complete closed-loop data without any step tests with slave PID control loops in automatic or even cascade modes. Other technologies mostly require manual step tests, some setpoint changes in automatic mode but no one can process data in complete cascade mode with no step tests at all.
The ability to create dynamic models using PiControl Solutions technology provides the capability to design, develop and implement advanced process control (APC) all inside an existing DCS or PLC. Such design does not require external software and hardware, thus eliminating cyber security problems and vulnerabilities. The end design is robust, cheaper, better requiring less maintenance in the long term and producing superior results helping plants, factories and manufacturing sites to maximize their profits and key performance indicators.
