PID tuning soft

Jun 19, 2004 4 Replies

Hy everyone.



I need some good free soft for PID tuning.



Thanks in advance from Spain.


Are you trying to tune something in particular, or do you just want to practice finding optimal gains?

I have to optimize setting of all controlers of a depropanizer column in a refinery. I´m lookin for soft to monitorize step test and sugest better adjust for flow, temp and pressure controlers. Something like Expertune, Bestune... Can you help me?. Thanks

Hello,

The SW should communicate to something. To what? A PLC/DCS/else? What brand?

There are difference ways to tune:

- Kp/Ki/Kd

- Advanced Processs Control

- Model Predictive Control

- Fuzzy Logic

And good PID-tuning software is not for free... it will pay it self back in a short time. Guarantueed.

They have a very strong package for modelling systems in an automized way.

Say hello to Yucai from me if you find it usefull and plan to contact him.
