Control System Evaluation Guide

How Does Your Control System Compare?Take a few minutes to evaluate your control system. Enter these five numbers on ExperTune’s web site for a free customized report, showing how your control system compares to others.

Choose 20 control loops from one unit operation. Do not choose the 20 most important.

Measure How to Evaluate Your Results

Loops in Manual Number of loops in Manual. _____ out of 20 loops

Loops at LimitNumber of loops with control output saturated (0% or 100%, or hitting an output constraint.)

_____ out of 20 loops

OscillatingNumber of loops with visible oscillation.

_____ out of 20 loops

Poor ControlNumber of loops with poor control. [see note 1]

_____ out of 20 loops

APC On-Time (optional)What is the average on-time for your APC/MPC Controllers?

_____ % On-time

To compare your plant, enter your results at: CompareMyPID.com

Notes:

1. Ask the operator if there are any control problems, such as: a. Loop does not follow setpoint b. Loop does not respond quickly to upsets c. Loop behaves erratically
