Controller Performance Monitoring [chapter]

A typical industrial process, as in a petroleum refinery or petrochemical complex, includes thousands of control loops. Instrumentation technicians and engineers maintain and service these loops, but rather infrequently. Routine maintenance of such loops can result in significant savings. Controller performance monitoring (CPM) can identify and diagnose incipient problems. CPM implementations have been successfully deployed in large sites and have substantially improved the performance of control loops.
