Intuitively, given a set of parameters Kp, Ti and Td , the adoption of
a set-point weight β < 1 allows the reduction of the overshoot in the
set-point response, since the effect of the proportional action is
reduced.

It appears that the improvement in the cascade control performance
is more significant when disturbances act in the inner loop and when
the secondary sensor is placed in order to separate as far as possible
the fast dynamics of the process from the slow dynamics
(Krishnaswami et al., 1990).

Additional advantage: The nonlinearities of the process in the inner

Override Control: There are two modes of operation
Normal operation: One process variable is the controlling variable.
Abnormal operation: Some other process variable becomes the
controlling variable to prevent it from exceeding a process or
equipment limit.
The limiting controller is said to override the normal process
controller.

Override Control:

The FC50 is a reverse-acting controller, while the LC50 is a

The low selector (LS50) selects the lower signal to manipulate the
pump speed.

Override Control:
Reset Feedback (RFB) or external reset feedback:
This capability allows the controller not selected to override the
controller selected at the very moment it is necessary.
When FC50 is being selected, its integration is working, but not that
of LC50 (its integration is being forced equal to the output of LS50).

Selective Control:
The high selector in this scheme selects the transmitter with the
highest output, and in so doing the controlled variable is always the
highest, or closest to the highest, temperature.

Split range:
A very common control scheme is split range control in which the output
of a controller is split to two or more control valves. For example:
Controller output 0% Valve A is fully open and Valve B fully closed.
Controller output 25% Valve A is 75% open and Valve B 25% open.
Controller output 50% Both valves are 50% open.
Controller output 75% Valve A is 25% open and Valve B 75% open.
Controller output 100% Valve A is fully closed and Valve B fully open.

Split range:
Different arrangements are possible. For example, the split can be
configured as follows:
Controller output 0% Both valves are closed.
Controller output 25% Valve A is 50% open and Valve B still closed.
Controller output 50% Valve A is fully open and Valve B closed.
Controller output 75% Valve A is fully open and Valve B 50% open.
Controller output 100% Both valves are fully open.

Split range:
In this application, the flare valve will need to open quickly in
response to high pressures, but the compressor suction valve will need
to move much more slowly to prevent instability in the compressors.
The main problem with split range control is that the controller only
has one set of tuning parameters.

The main problem with split range control is that the controller only
has one set of tuning parameters.
The solution is to replace the split range controller with two
independent controllers, both reading the same pressure transmitter,
but one controlling the flare valve and the other the suction valve.
