Process Control Monitoring and Diagnostics: Act Quickly, Move Towards Optimal Control

Proper process control monitoring and diagnostics is a crucial aspect of ensuring the efficiency, safety, and reliability of industrial processes. This subfield is dedicated to the continuous assessment and performance evaluation of PID control loops, PLC or a DCS-based advanced process controllers (APC), model predictive control (MPC) systems, measuring sensors and final control elements, employing cutting-edge technologies to empower engineers and professionals. Our suite of products, which includes APROMON, PiLogger, and PiLims, play an integral role in optimizing and streamlining the monitoring process.

What are significances of process control monitoring technology?

  1. Optimal Control Loop Performance: Process control monitoring and diagnostics is essential for evaluating the performance of control loops, such as PID and advanced process control (APC) loops, model predictive control (MPC) systems, measuring sensors and final control elements. APROMON, as continuous process control (PID/APC/MPC) performance monitoring and diagnostics technology, is a prime example of a tool that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess the performance of various PID or APC loops. It evaluates single loops, cascade loops, feedforwards, adaptive, and many other control loops, and even measuring signals. By continuous monitoring and diagnostics PID and APC loop performance, engineers can fine-tune and optimize control parameters for perfect process efficiency.
  2. Continuous Assessment: One of the key advantages of process control monitoring and diagnostics is its ability to provide real-time, continuous performance assessment. APROMON, automatically calculate and archive over 30+ performance criteria for every tag, ensuring that any deviations or issues are promptly identified.
  3. Performance Grading: Process control monitoring and diagnostics software, like APROMON, assigns performance grades to controllers and dedicated equipment, making it easy for control engineers to understand their efficiency. A higher grade indicates better performance, while a lower grade prompts attention. These grades offer a quick and effective way to prioritize and address PID/APC/MPC controller issues, enhancing overall plant reliability.
  4. Fast Data Collection and Analysis: In the event of equipment or process-related issues, fast and accurate data collection play a key role. PiLogger plays a pivotal role in accurately collecting high-speed data, helping engineers to analyze them and identify the "First Out" condition accurately. This capability enables rapid troubleshooting and minimizes costly downtime. Also, having frequently collected raw data insured better and more accurate system identification resulting in more efficient process and control optimization.
  5. Data Validation and Transfer: In laboratory and data-entry scenarios, where data input directly into Distributed Control Systems (DCS) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) may not be feasible due to security policies or other reasons, process control monitoring software such as PiLims becomes invaluable. It allows for data entry on a Windows server-based computer and secure transfer into the DCS or PLC, ensuring data accuracy and safety.
  6. Training and Testing: Our products, including PiLogger and PiLims, offer capabilities for testing and training with standard OPC simulation servers. This feature is invaluable for honing the skills of engineers and technicians, ensuring they are well-prepared to manage real-world industrial plant scenarios.
