PID spotlight, part 7: Open-loop tuning of a self-limiting process

August 14, 2024

Figure 2: This classic image shows a flow controller with a bad control valve. The PV draws a square wave and the OP draws a peaked wave. This is typical for a valve without a positioner. Positioners tremendously reduce the number of problem valves, but when they go bad, they create their own kind of fun. If you do not install positioners on many or most control valves, you may see a lot of this.
