DeltaV Tune for Fieldbus PID Support in DeltaV v7.2 and v7.3

Implementation Options with Fieldbus Where will PID be Assigned?? DeltaV allows all elements of the control loop to be assigned to fieldbus The loop PID may be assigned to the transmitter or the valve. Portions of the control loop, such as the PID, may be assigned to the DeltaV controller and the remaining functions such as AI and AO done in fieldbus devices.

Control Performance Achieve Using Fieldbus Function block execution, maximum response time for compel data and slot time ( dependent of the device technology/design – specific to manufacturer) - see ISA2002 Fieldbus Tutorial Whether control is done in the field or in the control system (customer decision) Scheduling of block execution and communications on the FF segment.

Minimum Execution Time With Only One(1) Control Loop on an H1 Segment AI PID XFR AO 20ms 25ms 30ms 60ms 30ms Macrocycle = 165 ms Assumptions: 3rd Generation Transmitter, AI&PID executed in Transmitter, Second generation Valve executes AO

Impact of Splitting Control Between Fieldbus and Control System DeltaV module execution is not synchronized with function block execution on fieldbus segments. Lack of synchronization introduces a variable delay into the control loop as great as the segment macrocycle e.g. 1/2 sec loop may have up to 1/2 sec of added variable delay when control is split between fieldbus device and the DeltaV controller. Added delay will impact control loop tuning and result in increase variability in fast control loop.

Recommendation on Splitting Control Between Fieldbus and Control System Execute control loops in Fieldbus for better performance when the process dynamics are fast e.g. liquid pressure or flow. If target loop execution is ½ sec or faster, then implement the control in fieldbus and limit the number of control loops to no more than two(2) per segment.

Original DeltaV Tune Capability Only supported PID/ Fuzzy Blocks in DeltaV Controller Dynamics are captured by a (hidden) Autotuner Modifier so no error is introduced by communications delay/jitter.

DeltaV v7.2 Tuning Support for all Manufacturer’s FF Devices Shadow PID with Autotune Modifier DeltaV Tune appears and operates the same. The PID mode changing to Man (rather than LO) during the Test phase Tuning of fast loops may be conservative because of deadtime introduced by fieldbus communications. Patent pending.

Launching DeltaV Tune The DeltaV Tune application may be launched in context by right clicking on the module or fieldbus block

Testing the Process When “test” is selected, the PID Autotune modifier changes the PID output by the amount specified and captures the process response.

Select Tuning Rule The default ( “normal” user ) tuning rules be used with fieldbus PID. The “normal” rules apply to all process dynamics

DeltaV v7.3 Tuning Support for Emerson Fieldbus Devices All new Emerson fieldbus devices will include the Autotune modifier as part of the PID. Initially available on 3244, 3051, 3144 DeltaV Tune looks and operates the same. No communications delay or jitter in identifed dynamics. Patent pending In Emerson fieldbus devices

Conclusion Tuning of PID in any fieldbus devices is supported in v7.2. Conservative tuning will be obtained for fast loops. An improved tuning capabilty is provided in v7.3 for Emerson fieldbus devices. Even the fastest loop may be accurately tuned. DeltaV Tune support of fieldbus devices enables utilizing control in the field. This can lead to reduced control variability for fast process dynamics.
