Configuring a Process Control Loop
(Original Document)
At a Glance
A process control loop is configured according to a precise method that ensures nothing is overlooked.
Procedure
Observe the following steps for each process control loop to implement.
Step
Action
1
Give an exact definition of the process control structure to be used (single loop, process loop, cascade loop, self-selective loop).
2
Define the algorithm of the various processing branches (process value, setpoint, loop controller, etc.).
3
Select the various functions and parameters for each processing branch.
4
Enter the input and output interfaces.
5
Fix the initial values of the adjustment parameters.
6
Associate an IODDT to the selected loop.
7
If necessary, configure the exchanges for level 2 (for example: supervision).
8
Confirm the global configuration.
