A Self-Study Guide on The Tuning of Industrial Control Systems

A practical, but systematic approach to tuning. This book is designed as a self-study guide for both beginners and experienced practitioner who want to learn more about the tuning of industrial control systems. The book is organized as follows: - Introduction and overview. - Feedback controlers. - Open-loop characterization of process dynamics. - How to tune feedback controlers. - Mode selection and tuning common feedback loops. - Computer feedback control. - Feedforward and ratio control. - Multivariable control systems. - Adaptive and self-tuning control. - Suggested reading and study material. - Solutions to all exercises. I am an Industrial Practitioner of Process Control. I have been working for more than 16 years as an Instrumentation, Automation, and Process Safety and Control Engineer for the Oil & Gas Industry. I have found this book to be a very useful refresher on tuning methods. If you are looking for a more in-depth and broad treatment of process control topics, but still oriented towards practical industrial applications, you might want to consider Bela Liptak's Instruments Engineer's Handbook Volume 2 - Process Control and Optimization. I own both books and I have made extensive use of both of them, proving to be a very effective combination to solve day to day problems in my job.
