LOOP-PRO DEVELOPERTM LOOP-PRO DEVELOPERTM comes with our popular ENGINEER software as its core and provides a customizable simulation environment for process control loop designers. DEVELOPER includes visual development tools for you to design and test alternative loop architectures, explore different controller algorithms and test new tuning values.
Use LOOP-PRO DEVELOPER to conduct offline simulations studies using models developed from your plant data. Perform "what-if" studies as you design and test architectures that improve operational performance at minimal expense and with maximum safety. When your development studies are complete, implement your optimal design and obtain a return on investment with payback measured in days. Our award-winning technology enables you to meet goals critical to industrial competitiveness, including: meeting final product specifications, minimizing waste production, minimizing environmental impact, minimizing energy use and maximizing overall production rate. DEVELOPER provides these cutting edge tools using our visual presentation software. This makes them intuitive to use and accessible to users of all backgrounds. Key Features
Design and Test New Architectures in a Few Easy Steps
2) Use LOOP-PRO ENGINEER to fit models to your plant data to create valuable offline simulations. Evaluate and compare your process response data against our library of dynamic process models. While we provide goodness-of-fit measures so you can make analytical comparisons, our visual presentation lets you recognize that if the fit looks like the data, then you have computed a model that represents the character of your process.
3) Program your model(s) using simple entry forms. You can enter model values you have from previous studies or grab them from the model fits of step 2 above. You can choose from an array of models, including linear or nonlinear; self regulating or non-self regulating (also called integrating); and overdamped or underdamped forms. Set the zeros and spans of each variable so your simulation behaves like your observed process behavior.
4) Select and implement a controller algorithm and tuning values. Tuning parameters can be obtained from LOOP-PRO ENGINEER, or entered into the controller form if custom values are desired. Controller options include PID, feed forward, adaptive, cascade, Smith predictor, discrete sampled data, and model predictive DMC. Customize your PID algorithms to explore the benefits and pitfalls of each option, or choose your vendor algorithm if you seek to match your existing plant behavior.
5) With your simulation complete, evaluate your process and controller architecture and assess your design and tuning choices. Perform “what-if” studies and explore the benefits of variations in models, controller architectures and tuning parameters. When you have optimized your design, implement the results in your plant.
