CHAPTER 9: PID TUNING
Workshop 1 – Tuning Rules of Thumb
Imagine that you are shipwrecked on an island and that you do not have your textbook or lecture notes! Naturally, you want to tune some PID controllers in a chemical process.
Review the tuning charts and develop some rough guidelines for tuning that you will remember for the rest of your life.
We see that you have been shipwrecked on an island. You want to tune some loops, but you don’t have an internet connection or any other reference material. Have you memorized the tuning charts? Not likely.
To be prepared for this situation, you are asked to develop a simple rule for tuning a proportional-integral (PI) controller.
When you have your answer, please advance to the next slide.
Tropical paradise but no textbook or internet connection.

3. Workshop 3 – Diagnosis Feedback Control Performance
CHAPTER 9: PID TUNING
Workshop 3 – Diagnosis Feedback Control Performance
Diagnose the closed-loop dynamic responses for four different tunings on the same process.
Use the diagnosis tables introduced in this lesson for each of your solutions.
Note: The process dynamics are from Workshop 2.

5. CHAPTER 9: PID TUNING Workshop 5 – Retuning
On Monday, we tuned the three-tank mixer composition controller. On Friday, we anticipate reducing the feed flow rate by slightly more than 50% (from 7.0 to 3.0 m3/min) and keep this flow for the next two weeks. During the next two weeks, should we change the tuning of the controller? If yes, which constants, increase or decrease each constant, and by how much?
