Tips for New Process Automation Folks: Many Objectives, Many Worlds of Process Control

Gregory K McMillan

The post, Many Objectives, Many Worlds of Process Control first appeared on ControlGlobal.com's Control Talk blog. In many publications on process control, the common metric you see is integrated absolute error for a step disturbance on the process output. In many tests for tuning, setpoint changes are made and the most important criteria becomes overshoot of setpoint. Increasingly, oscillations of any type are looked…
