Deployed controller technologies

Diverse requirements and challenges in the process industry are encountered by various control technologies. Considering simple processes with stable and linear characteristics, conventional PID controllers pose a cost-effective and efficient choice. Due to their fast and precise reactions these controllers are suitable for a wide range of applications.

Complex and non-linear processes, on the other hand, require more advanced control technologies such as fuzzy logic controllers or neural networks. These technologies are capable of handling complex correlations and changes in the course of the process. Facing processes with slow dynamics and multiple input and output variables, Model Predictive Control (MPC) offers an efficient solution as it predicts and optimizes future states.

However, the accessibility of process data, safety requirements and available resources sets the framework for the selection of the most suitable control technology. Providing examples, adaptive controls achieve best results for processes whose characteristics change over time, whereas predictive algorithms enhance energy efficiency and production quality. Nonetheless, the most reliable and appropriate control algorithms often result from a combination of different technologies.
