Abstract: This paper presents a modified cascade control structure using a single sensor applied to the EPC Educational Plant. It maintains the hierarchical design of cascade control, with an ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Abstract: In this paper, we present a new design method for cascade control systems. The proposed (open-loop) identification procedure allows to perform a one stage tuning of the PID controllers, ...

Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...
