11.2 Checking the optimisation
Start-up
procedure
The optimum adjustment of the controller to the process can be checked by
recording the start-up with the control loop closed. The diagrams below indi-
cate possible maladjustments and how these can be corrected.
Control
response
The control response of a third-order control loop of a PID controller is shown
as an example. However, the procedure for adjusting the controller parameters
can also be applied to other control loops.
