The process shown in the demo is a gravity drained tank, being filled by a pump. The level control loop is tuned using a three step process: 1. Record - Real process data is recorded. The control variable (CV) is pump speed, and the process variable (PV) is level. Pump speed is bumped, so the level response can be recorded. 2. Model - The system is modeled using a First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) process model. 3. Tune - Level control is simulated with PID tuning values, and the best values are selected!

PID Tuning Dashboard configuration using the pidbot module for Ignition by Inductive Automation® with the P_PIDE AOI from Rockwell Automation's PlantPAx® library. Basic properties of the Tuning Dashbord component are bound to a P_PIDE tag in the Ignition Designer. After the binding is complete, the Tuning Dashbord component is ready to use for PID tuning. https://jlbcontrols.com/pidbot Subscribe for more pidbot videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnlNNvLkhhZwPkBuDdTChyA?view_as=subscriber?sub_confirmation=1   Thanks for watching!

A First Order Plus Dead Time (FOPDT) process, and an Integrating Plus Dead Time (IPDT) process are demonstrated, using two tank level control systems. The gravity drained tank can be modeled as an FOPDT process and the pumped tank can be modeled as an IPDT process. The differences are discussed, and how to select the appropriate model for PID tuning. https://www.jlbcontrols.com/pidbot Subscribe for more pidbot videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnlNNvLkhhZwPkBuDdTChyA?view_as=subscriber?sub_confirmation=1   Thanks for watching!

Step by step PID tuning instructions for a cascade using the pidbot module for Ignition SCADA. The example cascade is used to control the product exit temperature of a jacketed reactor, by adjusting the steam flow to the jacket. The primary loop of the cascade is the product temperature, and the secondary loop is the steam flow rate. https://www.jlbcontrols.com/pidbot Subscribe for more pidbot videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnlNNvLkhhZwPkBuDdTChyA?view_as=subscriber?sub_confirmation=1 Thanks for watching!

PID tuning demo with pidbot, using process data generated with the PID controller in Automatic mode. Tips: -Only use the Setpoint bump test method if your PID controller already has reasonable tuning values, and you would like to improve them. -Never use "reactive" data, captured in response to a disturbance. Make sure there is a clear PV response generated as a result of stepping the SP.
