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 ...

Abstract: Cascade control loops are widely used in industrial automation systems to enhance performance by improving disturbance rejection and dynamic response. However, tuning the ...

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 ...

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 ...
