The document discusses an introductory tutorial on feedback control of a chemical process. It explores tuning a single-loop PID controller to control the product composition of a process by manipulating the heating medium. The tutorial examines the process dynamics through reaction curve experiments, introduces concepts like gain, time constant and dead time, and investigates how changing the PID parameters affects closed-loop performance and stability. Configuration menus are provided to modify process models, disturbances, and controller tuning for simulation.

An Introductory Experience with Feedback Control
Observations from the experiment. An increase in valve opening increases the concentration. The process gain is positive.
Time to steady-state is about 25 minutes.
Dead time is about 6 minutes and time constant is about 6 minutes.
The process is stable and overdamped.
The measurement has noise
An Introductory Experience with Feedback Control
The computer has a defined algorithm using the feedback measurement to determine the next value of the manipulated variable
Calculations are done every 1/3 second
The engineer enters the appropriate parameters

An Introductory Experience with Feedback Control Mole fraction
Observations from the samples of feedback performance. Feedback that is too weak takes a long time to compensate a disturbance Feedback that is too strong gives poor behavior and can result in instability Feedback can result in underdamped behavior for a process that is overdamped.
The process dynamics have the dominant effect on control performance.
An Introductory Experience with Feedback Control
Observations from the samples of feedback performance. Even the best behavior is not perfect. The process must be upset before feedback takes action. The valve must be moved to a different steadystate to compensate for a disturbance. We move the disturbance from the important controlled variable to the less important manipulated variable.
