PROFIBUS – Easy to Use, Meet the Experts

On 18 November 2009, the PROFIBUS user organization hosts the Meet the Experts event in cooperation with other member companies at the BayArena in Leverkusen (Germany). On 19 November, this event will take place in Basel (Switzerland). It includes 3 workshops covering the following topics: Installation of PROFIBUS PA segments, fieldbus segments in explosive areas, advantages of PROFIBUS PA during commissioning and in operation. Presentations by users round off this event. There are also booths for information and discussion with the experts.

Free Download of Configuring Example for PID Control

The example comprises a PID control with parameter control independent of the operating point (Gain Scheduling) and PID tuning. The objective of the example is the precise and fast control of processes that require various controller parameters due to their non-linear response at varying operating points.
The example deals with the following main topics:

Creation of instance and parameterization of measuring point

Determination of process model and controller parameters

Example simulation with/without gain scheduling to illustrate potential benefit

Migration to SIMATIC PCS 7 for S5 Controller Systems

Within our TIA concept, we are offering a new brochure that describes various methods of migrating S5 controllers to SIMATIC PCS 7. Depending on the application, a migration to process control technology can be useful. Expanding an existing installation with PCS 7 components is also possible. Our customers profit from more sophisticated process control functions and increased productivity of their plants. The migration brochure is available as PDF in German and English.

Configuring Example: PID Control with Dynamic Disturbance Compensation

Configuring example: PID control with dynamic feedforward control

The configuring example is intended for precise and fast control of processes subject to strong interference. The interference must be known to the user and must be measured. An example project is used to illustrate implementation and potential for improvement in comparison with a basic PID controller.
The example deals with the following main topics:

Creating an instance of the measuring point

Determining the measured data required for the model draft

Identification using the MPC configurator

Example simulation with/without feedforward control to demonstrate the potential benefit
