Short Educational Video on Transfer Function Identification: Software identification of Zero-Order Transfer Function Parameters

Watch the video →

Welcome to the new video from PiControl Solutions on practical industrial system identification and process control as we continue with a series of short, practical, and useful educational videos.

In this video we elaborate how to easily identify zero-order transfer function parameters using system identification software. Zero-order (integrating) processes occur in approximately 15% of industrial cases. These processes are impacted with large noise and unmeasured disturbances therefore, it’s not expected to be easily visually identified. We will show you how system identification of zero-order transfer function parameters can be easily and accurately done, by usage of PITOPS software. SIMCET software is used for realistic process simulation and data generation.

PiControl multivariable closed-loop system identification software called PITOPS can easily identify zero (integrating), first-order, and second-order transfer function parameters using historical plant data. It is also the only software product that performs truly closed-loop system identification with the secondary (cascade/slave) PID controllers while they are kept in Cascade (Remote) mode. No other competitor tool can do successful transfer function identification using data with PID controllers in Cascade modes.

PiControl real-time process control simulation software for training and education called SIMCET can simulate the real-time behavior of all transfer function models, even when they are impacted by large noise and continuous disturbances.
