Establishing Order in Multi-Loop Tuning Through Sequencing

In the practice of multi-loop control system tuning, it is essential to maintain a global perspective and a systemic view. Focusing solely on the disturbance rejection of individual control loops, without considering their interactions with other loops, often leads to suboptimal performance. Missteps in cascade control tuning, for instance, often stem from a lack of

Common Faults and Troubleshooting of On-Site Instruments

Instrument failures can be complex and difficult to diagnose immediately. It’s important to stay calm and analyze the situation step by step. The faults can generally be divided into three sections: on-site detection, intermediate transmission, and terminal display. Seasonal factors, such as preventing high temperatures in summer and freezing in winter, should also be considered.
