Loop tuner hits the right note
15 Jan 2000
Available from Sandiford Computer Services, QuickTune is a low cost, compact loop tuning tool for users of Honeywell's TDC 3000 distributed control system. The system automatically tunes any process PID loop configured, communicating directly with the PID control point.
In a typical tuning test, QuickTune will apply a step change to the controller output, monitor the process response to the change and collect data. These data are then employed to compute a dynamic model of the system and generate optimal K, T1 and T2 parameter values, which can then be written by QuickTune directly to the PID controller.
Needing no additional hardware or software, QuickTune is supplied on Bernoulli 20MB or 150MB cartridges or Zip disc.
