Slide 9 - 1 Override Control Basis - Override Control Æ Override control is used to regulate a process input to maintain one process Max Value output at target without violating a constraint on Override another output. Controller Æ Two controllers and a < Information Needed control selector (Low or to Tune Controllers High) are required for Controller override control. Æ The selector output is fed back to both controller for Manipulated Process the purpose of preventing controller reset windup when the controller is not selected.
Slide 9 - 2 Override Control Example – Clarifier Control Æ Flow of lime mud from the clarifier is normally maintained DIC 109 at the setpoint of FIC White FIC110. 109 Liquor FY 109 Clarifier Æ If the pumpout < DT SC density falls below 109 FT 109 109 the setpoint of DIC109, the density overrides flow control and the pumpout is reduced.
Slide 9 - 3 Override Control Example – Compressor Control Æ Flow through the compressor is normally regulated to maintain the pressure setpoint of PC PIC90. 1-1 IC Æ If the motor current 1-1 exceeds the setpoint of PY IT 90 90 IC89, then the flow is < PT 90 reduced - allowing FT 90 pressure to drop below setpoint to avoid damage to the motor.
Slide 9 - 4 Override Control Over -ride Control in DeltaV Over-ride Æ The control selector block is designed specifically to support override applications Æ External reset should be enabled on both PID’s for best performance Æ The PID BKCAL_IN status indicates if it has been overrriden
Slide 9 - 6 Override Control Tuning Override Control Loop Æ The two PID’s used in an override strategy must be individually tuned, Æ The dynamic response of the controlled parameter will in general be different for a change in the manipulated parameter. Æ Tune the PID that is in control making sure the override loop is in Manual with an output value that will not be selected. Repeat the process for the other PID
Slide 9 - 7 Override Control Over -ride Control Workshop Over-ride
Æ Step 1. Open the EXAMPLE_F module and go to on-line operation
in Control Studio. Place the two PID’s in Auto and observe the response when you set both setpoints to 50. Æ Step 2. Change the setpoint of PID1 to 60 and observe the reaction of PID2. Change the setpont of PID1 to 45 and observe the response. Æ Step 3. Change the disturbance input to 30 and observe the response of the override loop and the process response.
