On September 2, 2025, Zhongkong Technology officially launched its time-series large model TPT2 (Time-series Pre-trained ...

Closed-loop control troubleshooting By Jacques Smuts, PhD, PE Automation Basics Summary By Jacques Smuts, PhD, PE Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not ...

Poor control loop performance often makes itself evident as excessively large deviations between the process variable and its set point. An operator may notice the deviations on his process trend ...

One segment of a process control system. An open-loop control process requires human intervention, whereas a closed-loop system is entirely automated (see PID). See process control.

A better understanding of closed-loop control, and how to tune it, can be found by looking at the individual parts of the PID equation and the effect of each on the controlled output By Bill Dehner ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but ...

Closed-loop control has been used successfully for many years in other process industries. “The frightening part for the pharmaceutical industry is moving from manual control with people making ...

The control process, therefore, is only affected by the system’s input . Traditionally, electrical control systems were mostly open-loop and required human operators to regulate the process variables ...

Control loop performance-monitoring software can help to improve loop performance at electric power plants by automatically collecting data, assessing several aspects of loop performance, and ...
