Abstract:
A web making machine (108) is monitored to identify at least one cross-machi ne direction (CD) actuator (126) that is developing local mapping problems. The identified CD actuator and a segment of surrounding actuators are probed to determine a performance curve (227) for the actuator. The center of an insensitivity region of the performance curve is selected as an optimal mapping alignment setting for the identified actuator with the setting for t he actuator being updated. Global smoothing may also be accomplished by probing a global smoothness factor to generate a corresponding performance curve that is then similarly used to select an optimal value for the smoothness factor.
Abstract:
A method is provided for analyzing and diagnosing a large scale process automation control system having a plurality of control loops. Assessments for predefined key performance indicators (KPIs) are automatically generated for control, process and signal sections of each control loop. The automatically generated assessments of the pre-defined KPIs may be displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a computer. A user may change the automatically generated assessments of the pre-defined KPIs. Different data views may also be displayed in the GUI. The data views include time series trends for measured process variable, controller output, controller set point and error, as well as controller parameter clustering views in two-dimensional and three-dimensional plots.
Abstract:
Ein Verfahren wird bereitgestellt zum Analysieren und Diagnostizieren eines Großprozessautomatisierungs-Regelsystems mit einer Vielzahl von Regelschleifen. Bewertungen für vordefinierte Leistungskennzahlen (KPIs) werden automatisch für Regelungs-, Prozess- und Signalabschnitte jeder Regelschleife erzeugt. Die automatisch erzeugten Bewertungen der vordefinierten KPIs können in einer graphischen Benutzerschnittstelle (GUI) eines Computers angezeigt werden. Ein Benutzer kann die automatisch erzeugten Bewertungen der vordefinierten KPIs ändern. Unterschiedliche Datenansichten können auch in der GUI angezeigt werden. Die Datenansichten enthalten Zeitreihentrends für eine gemessene Prozessvariable, eine Conrollerausgabe, einen Controllersollwert und einen Fehler, als auch Controllerparameter-Gruppierungsansichten in zweidimensionalen und dreidimensionalen Diagrammen.
