Tuning of Industrial Control Systems

Suitable for beginners, this book takes a practical but systematic approach to tuning. The aim is to provide insight into tuning procedures rather than a series of formulas to be memorized. The author gives helpful rules of thumb to speed the learning process during field training. The second edition includes numerous examples of tuning, including the effect of hysteresis in flow control loops, averaging & tight level control, cascade control of a jacketed chemical reactor, feedforward control of a heater & loop interaction & ratio control in a blender. Also included is an introduction to a model reference control & a chemical reactor control example to illustrate it.Corripio, Armando B. is the author of 'Tuning of Industrial Control Systems', published 2000 under ISBN 9781556177132 and ISBN 1556177135.
