Communication

INTUNE can communicate via DDE (dynamic data exchange) or OPC (OLE for Process Control) to any control system which includes a DDE or OPC server.

INTUNE also supports direct communication drivers (developed by ControlSoft) to Allen-Bradley, Modicon and Siemens-TI family of PLC’s.

Auto Tuning

PID Auto Tuning. . . involves conducting a step tuning test on your PID loops in either open-loop or closed-loop mode.

Auto-tuning tests can be completely automated to trigger on a click of a button or run in a semi-automated mode.

INTUNE collects process data, analyzes and identifies a model representing the true process dynamics.

1-7

This is an example of an output step test in manual mode (open-loop) for a non-integrating process.

A first order model is developed using deadtime, response time and gain.

Upon completion of a test, the software opens a separate analysis window presenting the results.

The model parameters are presented with correlation statistics.

The optimum PID values are generated based on user defined tuning priorities.

This trend compares the software generated process dynamic model versus the measured data.

Online Diagnostics

Control Loop Diagnostics

Watch PID control loops run in automatic mode and detect tuning problems.

Logs and reports vital process information to maintenance personnel.

1-10

How do the process loops track the setpoint? The bar graph displays the error distribution.

Do you get the benefit of automatic control? Was the process designed properly? Process Variable and Control Output statistics show whether your process and control loops are well designed and functioning properly.

What events happened to your process over the past week? All process events are logged in easy-to-read format.

1-11

Adaptive Tuning

Adaptive Tuning (and intelligent Self-Tuning)…passively monitors the process in normal operations.

Recommends changes in PID tuning based on loop diagnostics report – Advisory Mode

Automatically download recommended PID changes – Automatic Mode or Self-Tuning Mode

The software behaves like an expert control system operator tweaking PID values to continuously keep a loop fine tuned.

Safety nets are provided for mission critical applications through user defined

constraints.

In Adaptive Tuning modeThe process comes under control.

The recommendations and changes are logged.

The quality of control improves.
