PID loop interactions and process disturbances are a leading source of process variability and instability. The advanced techniques to deal with these (decoupling and feedforward control) have existed for decades, yet are seldom used or used incorrectly. This is because these techniques rely on 'textbook' methods to obtain the needed process models.
This tutorial webcast will show you how to employ new tools to easily obtain the effects of interaction and disturbances on your process (the models) and how to use these to break or eliminate loop interactions and the effects of disturbances. A highly interactive process with a common disturbance will be used to illustrate the solution with before and after results shown.
