Another topic that is often overlooked when tuning PID controllers is the concept of resonance. When a PID controller is used on a process that has dead time (and all have some!), the closed-loop ...

The previous sections of this chapter have dealt with the tuning of controllers for self-regulating processes such as temperature and flow. Liquid-level control, however, has characteristics ...

The desired aggressiveness of the loop tuning should be based on the interaction of the control loop with other loops and the consequences of movement of the controller output. A tuning methodology ...
