Definition and structure of a loop controller

At a Glance

"Loop controller" is a generic term used to designate a processor control channel. Any loop controller may consist of several control loops.

Example: a master loop and a slave loop.

A loop controller therefore consists of several control loops, themselves including:

branches or blocks (process value processing, etc.) consisting of:
- calculating functions (gain, filtering, square root, etc.) which are defined by any number of parameters.

The Control Expert Configuration screen allows the user to define the appropriate hierarchical structure.

Illustration

This figure represents a configuration screen, which allows this hierarchical breakdown, as well as the configuration of process control channels.
