Why CONTROLsuite?

While plants invest significantly in sensors, actuators, control systems, and advanced process control solutions, it is key that the return on these investments is sustained. Today, one third of the process controllers installed operate in manual mode, and on average, one third of the loops in a given facility have equipment problems.

With CONTROLsuite, optimum performance is achievable across all industries and processes. Using CONTROLsuite in a facility will lead to improvement in overall productivity (typically 4 to 8%), in energy consumption (on average 1 to 2%), and in quality of the final product.

CONTROLsuite provides a complete overview of loop performance throughout the entire facility. It identifies and prioritizes the loops that are not performing satisfactorily and identifies the root causes of loop issues. A toolbox for loop tuning is also available.

Correlation Maps

Correlation maps

Easily identify interacting control loops.

Loops that have similar action patterns are exposed by its cross correlation.

More intense color in the chart, will indicate a more significant interaction between two loops.

PID Loop Tuning

Graph Up

Process modeling

Using advanced algorithms, process modeling leverages precise insights into control loop behavior.

This accuracy leads to more consistent and reliable outcomes when implementing your adjustments.

Tune your loop

Traditional loop tuning often requires skilled personnel and testing periods.

By using CONTROLsuite loop tuning tool you can easily optimize your loops in a fraction of the time, saving money and resources.

The tool will enable the tuning process to be standard across organization, preventing the use of different techniques or approaches based on individual engineers.
