AspenWatch issue - some numbers don't look right

Translate This Thread From English to



Dear All,

I was hoping to use AspenWatch data for the companies DMC controllers to
give me some help in understanding how good our DMC controllers are
performing.  However after a couple of re-installs of the model and CCF
files and a good clearout of the old AspenWatch data files for the
controller all I get is something like the following...

NAME    LSTRBD  ACTDSTD ACTFFWD ACTPRDD ACTCTLD ACTOPTD SSRESTD
CV01    -2.186  0       0.003   100     100     99.951  58.611
CV02    0       0       0.001   100     100     96.811  77.989
CV03    0       0       6.097   100     100     35.385  100
CV04    22.453  0       3.362   100     100     23.008  100
CV05    6.421   0       0.859   100     100     99.977  100
CV06    -0.285  0       4.722   100     100     99.981  100
CV07    79.206  0       11.244  100     100     3.672   100
CV08    0       0       8.254   100     100     101.985 100
CV09    0       0       1000    100     100     100     100
CV10    0       0       0       100     100     69.566  100
CV11    -5.009  0       0.001   100     100     98.382  27.271
CV12    -0.577  0       0       100     100     57.444  64.316
CV13    -0.056  0       0       100     100     88.098  50.972  

This is an improvement of what I originaly had (I think!).  Now the
ACTFFD, ACTOPTD and SSRESTD figures look sensible but ACTDSTD is exactly
0 for all CVs and does not change and ACTPRDD & ACTCTLD are 100 exactly
and again never change.  I cannot believe that the model is 100% correct
for all CV predictions all the time!

I have read the manuals which were a bit of help and I have talked to
colleagues but non-of them seem to have had much success with their
AspenWatch figures either although for different reasons to mine.

Any ideas where to look?

Its an old-ish version of AspenWatch (version 6).

Thanks in advance,

Mark Evans
