Practical Process Control Monitoring and Diagnostics

🎓 Master Process Control with PiControl Solutions' MON300 Course: Practical Process Control Monitoring and Diagnostics

Course Headline:

Become an expert at monitoring PID controllers and responding quickly to problems.

Course Overview:

The Scale of Control: Chemical plants are complex systems with anywhere from 50 to over 2000 PIDs in large operations. Beyond simple PIDs, these systems include cascades, override controllers, model-based controllers, and multivariable controllers. Over time, even the most finely tuned controllers can degrade, leading to process oscillations or sluggishness that can significantly impact both the monetary and quality outcomes of a plant.

The Solution: This course introduces you to Apromon, a cutting-edge control performance monitoring software that detects underperforming PIDs in real time. With its OPC connectivity, it analyzes various control criteria and generates comprehensive reports on your plant's control quality. The novel TAD (True Amplitude Detection) algorithm pinpoints oscillating or sluggish controllers with precision.

Enhancing Plant Performance: Learn how to maintain and improve your plant's control systems, utilizing Apromon's insights to enhance profitability and stability. The course also covers the implementation of online adaptive control, integrating control quality monitoring software with your DCS/PLC for automated corrective actions.

Course Content:

• Understanding Control Issues:

  • Identify control problems in real-time using advanced monitoring techniques.
  • Implement immediate corrective measures to maintain optimal plant operations.

• Adaptive Control Mastery:

  • Dive into the application of online adaptive control technology with Apromon.
  • Link it with your DCS/PLC for real-world, closed-loop adaptive control schemes.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, attendees will:

• Gain a comprehensive understanding of process control quality monitoring criteria and statistics.
• Be proficient in the application, installation, and use of real-time software products for process control quality monitoring.
• Understand how to implement online adaptive control technology using control quality monitoring software.
• Learn to design DCS/PLC-resident logic for triggering automatic control actions.
• Develop skills to build closed-loop adaptive control schemes within the DCS/PLC utilizing OPC connectivity.
• Achieve a significant improvement in control quality, leading to increased plant profits and fewer abnormal events and shutdowns.
• Experience a reduction in alarms and a decrease in operator interventions.
