Control Engineering magazine tested 5 vendors' autotunes in their
January 2009 issue. 80% didn't work at all. So even if your
controller has the auto-tune feature, you will need this PID Tuning
Blueprint.

- Servo control
You won't find complete, step-by-step, paint-by-numbers approach
in textbooks, like you will find in this PID Tuning Blueprint. If
you have the patience and can decipher the highly academic style of
writing, you could dig up the formulas we use, but that would only
be 10% of what the PID Tuning Blueprint does for you. The PID Tuning
Blueprint walks you through a step-by-step check of all the process
fundamentals before the tuning begins. PID tuning tips learnt from
over a decade in the game, that you won't find in any text books.
You do not need a PhD in math to understand our PID Tuning
Blueprint. You don't need to plough through pages of dry text books
trying to separate the academic theory from the practical techniques
that you can actually use in the real world.
The PID Tuning Blueprint gives you all the tools
and training you need to confidently tune almost any PID loop.
JUST SAY NO!
- No more wild guessing hoping to stumble across the exact
combination of P, I and D that will deliver the fastest, most
stable response.
- No more using the Ziegler Nichols technique that forces you
to send your system unstable before suggesting tuning constants
that leave your loop always teetering on instability.
- No more searching and studying for hours websites and
textbooks full of complex Calculus equations.
- No more tuning your PID loop in "closed loop" or "Auto
mode", that masks critical process characteristics that are
essential for robust tuning.
- No more spending countless hours (days) trying to tune a PID
loop only to later find something else in the process was wrong.
- No more trial and error, the PID Tuning Blueprint will give
you the best settings first time, every time.
- No more being left with raw tuning constants and no means of
converting them to the specific units and algorithm of your
particular controller.
- No expensive equipment or software costing thousands of
dollars required, all you need is your process data and our
spreadsheet software.
- No more need for $10,000-$30,000 in PID Tuning Software.
Finn Peacock has used the same PID Tuning methods assembled from
lots of different sources over his 12 years as a control engineer
working with some of the best Control Engineers in the world. He
used these very same technique to tune PID loops from nuclear power
plants to chocolate factories. The PID Tuning Blueprint takes you by
the hand and guides you through the process of identifying how
YOUR controller works and what units it uses. You
then get all the tools you need to translate your freshly calculated
tuning constants into your controller's language.

Comments by customers on this product :
"Applicable and Real World.
Direct translation to real world problems."
Ian Cameron -WA, Australia
"I thought that the blue print layout was excellent,
each step was clear and concise.
The clear text and diagrams demonstrate the theory very
well.
It is nice to deal with a company that stands by their
product and passes on any upgrades improvements at no
charge.
Well done on a great product."
William Rufus -

"Easy to use and to follow. This is probably is the
best down-to-earth material for tuning PIDs that I have
ever seen.
Really,.. it is Idiot Proof. It is like you just follow
the lines painted on the floor and you will arrive
safely at your destination.
Using your Blueprint, my process was tuned with just PI.
PID was not necessary after it was so well tuned."
Francisco Lopez -

"In implementing the PID Tuning Blueprint, I was
able to uncover instability in the glycol cooling loop.
The company was impressed by how the PID Tuning
Blueprint was able to be used as such an effective tool
in identifying deficiencies in the glycol control loop,
at a fraction of the cost of software such as RSTune."

PID Tuning Blueprint: Guidebook
- You'll get this step-by-step guide explaining the
unique PID Tuning technique, and how to apply it to your
specific process. It's 65 pages filled with only what you need
to know, so it shouldn't take you more than an hour to work your
way through. You can begin implementing the steps immediately.
(sample)
-
PID Tuning Cheat Sheet
- Once you've used the Blueprint to tune your first loop, you
can progress to using this 2 sided cheat-sheet to quickly tune
subsequent loops. The cheat sheet is a super condensed guide to
the tuning process that you can easily refer to out on the
plant, to ensure that your loops get tuned as efficiently as
possible.
-
PID Tuning Logbook
- You will be asked how you got that process working so
sweetly. And if you fill in the blanks in a fresh copy of this
logbook as you tune each loop, you will have a record that will
show exactly what you did to improve the process -- and
crucially how much you improved it by (always useful when
negotiating your next rate or pay rise!) (sample)

PID Tuning Simulator and PID Tuning Calculator for MS Excel
-
The best PID tuners in the business are those who try out
their newly calculated tuning parameters on a 'fit for purpose'
simulation before investing in both the effort and downtime
required to implement them on their physical process. This
sophisticated spreadsheet actually simulates your process and
controller right inside the familiar environment of MS Excel.
Here's how it fits into your PID loop tuning process:
(sample)
a)You follow steps 1-7 as per the Blueprint (despite
what some software vendors may claim - these essential steps
cannot be automated).
b)You go through each configurable cell on the main
worksheet and dial in your process, controller and desired
performance characteristics.
c)The algorithms in the spreadsheet automatically
calculate your optimum tuning constants (using the exact same
rules as described in the Blueprint). The spreadsheet also
automates the process of converting the raw tuning constants to
values that your specific controller type can use.
d)The simulator shows you how your simulated process
will respond to those tuning parameters based on setpoint and/or
load changes.
e)You spot any mistakes in your tuning well before you
touch your plant, and gain confidence in the tuning technique
that you have just learned.
This is also a great learning tool for playing with the
controller setup and seeing how the different parameters affect
the process performance. This is written this in Excel so that
you have complete access to all the algorithms that drive the
simulation and the tuning. If you want to understand exactly why
something is happening in the simulation or the calculator -
simply unprotect the sheet (no password required) and the
workings are there for you to see.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to the PID Algorithms
-
This guide to the PID algorithm and the mathematical concepts
that underpin it - is written so that anyone can get an
intuitive understanding of how the algorithm works and why. This
crash course uses the analogy of a car on a freeway changing
lanes to represent the process under control and walks you
through easy to visualize "thought experiments" to cement the
concepts in your mind. If Integrals, Differentials and the inner
working of the PID algorithm are a mystery to you - this
"Idiot's Guide" will give you the A-HA! moment as everything
finally makes sense. (sample)
