What's this for

Automation engineer

As an automation engineer, I want to have a tool for analyzing and diagnosing the condition of PID controllers, as well as for their automated tuning

As a plant manager, I want to receive timely information about the condition of PID controllers, including signs of regulation quality degradation, with the ability to request maintenance and tuning of the control loops

Plant manager
  • Provides monitoring of PID controllers' performance quality;
  • Calculates metrics for evaluation and monitors their compliance with normative values;
  • Visualizes performance metrics in various formats and signals deviations;
  • Implements automated identification of the control object, as well as analysis and evaluation of the quality of the obtained models;
  • Calculates optimal settings for PID controllers, and conducts analysis and evaluation of the quality of the calculated parameters.

Key advantages

  • Diagnostics and identification of fault sources in PID controllers (controller, sensor, actuator);
  • Detection and analysis of dependencies between PID controllers;
  • Pre-configured metrics and user interfaces, with the ability to modify them and create new ones;
  • Object control model identification, a library of identified models for each PID controller, and comparative analysis of models;
  • Adjusting PID controllers and calculating parameters based on the type of control system (Honeywell, Yokogawa, Emerson, etc.). A library of calculated settings for each PID controller and comparative analysis of these settings;
  • Automation of the business process for monitoring and tuning PID controllers (event signaling, message sending, event escalation);
  • Deployment together with other application modules of the iXyber Platform (APC Runner, APC Analyst, AE Analyst, Asset Analyst, etc.);
  • Deployment at the level of the technological installation, enterprise level, and corporate level.
