Control Loop Foundation – eLearning Course
This eLearning course is based on the book
Control Loop Foundation and addresses key
points and workshops included in the book.
All workshops and application examples in the
book are implemented using DeltaV control
capability.
The application section is designed to show how
control techniques may be combined to address
more complex process requirements
The book web site may be accessed to perform
the workshops and to obtain hands-on
experience using application example.
In E9025, the workshop’s modules are accessed
through a web browser.

Ratio Control For many processes such as blending and boiler combustion, a key objective is to
maintain the flow rates of two process streams in some proportion to one another.

Ratio Control Implementation
The Ratio block is used to implement ratio control.
The input to the Ratio block is the measurement or
setpoint of the independent flow input to the
process.
In the Ratio block, this input is multiplied by the
ratio to determine the setpoint of the dependent
flow input to the process.
Workshop – Ratio Control
A blender is used to blend two streams of different concentrations. The percent solids concentration exiting the blender is measured on-line and is the input to a concentration controller.
The concentration controller output adjusts the setpoint of the ratio controller associated with the main flow and blend.
Changes in the concentration controller setpoint cause the inlet flow ratio to change to the value needed to achieve the target outlet concentration.
Workshop – Ratio Control
Open the Ratio Control workshop using your web browser.
Step 1: Change the mode of the Ratio
block to Auto.
Step 2: Change the Ratio SP (setpoint)
over the following range: 0.3, 0.5, and
0.8. Observe the change in the blend
flow and the process outlet
concentration. Then set the Ratio SP
to 0.5 and wait for the concentration
to settle to a steady value
Step 3: Make a step change in the
Main Flow and observe the way the
ratio changes the dependent loop. Did
the concentration change?
Workshop – Ratio Control
Step 4: Change the Ratio block to Cascade mode. Change the setpoint of the analytical loop to 40% and observe the impact on the ratio setpoint. Does the measured concentration reach setpoint?
Step 5: Examine the process simulation module used in this workshop, shown here. Question: What are the advantages of structuring the process simulation as a separate module? What are the disadvantages of this approach?
Web Interface - Workshops
Use your web browser to
access the web site. The
workshops that go with
Control Loop Foundation
are displayed on the
home page.
Individual workshops and
applications are
accessed by clicking the
mouse over the name.
Exercise Information
When a selection is made
from the Workshops or
Applications interface, the web
page will change to give
information on the selected
workshop or application.
For example, if Ratio Control
is selected under Workshops,
then the interface for this
workshop would appear as
shown in this example.
The Exercise tab is shown by
default and duplicates the
book’s directions.
Process Information
To see the process that is
used in a workshop or
application, the Process
tab may be selected.
In response, the bottom
portion of the screen will
change to show a picture
of the process, as
illustrated here.
Workspace –Dynamic Simulation/Control
With the selection of the
Workspace tab, the lower
portion of the screen
changes to show an on-
line view of the function
blocks used in the control
strategy.
Changing Block Parameter Value
To change the value of a parameter,
double-click on the parameter name
in the left pane. In response, a
dialog box is displayed that allows
the parameter value to be changed
In some cases, a module parameter
is used to allow disturbances to be
introduced into the process
simulation.
To modify a parameter contained in
a module, it is only necessary to
double-click on the parameter. In
response, a dialog box is displayed
that may be used to change the
parameter value.
Accessing Chart View
The impact of a change in a block
or module parameter may be
observed by examining the
dynamic values of the block input
and output parameters that are
constantly updated based on the
simulated process.
However, it is often helpful to view
a trend of a parameter to better
judge the impact of a parameter
change. Selecting the Chart tab will
cause a trend of selected
parameters to be displayed in the
lower portion of the screen
Workshop Solution
Selecting the Solution tab opens
a video showing the exercise
solution in the lower portion of
the screen.
In the video, each step of the
exercise is shown and
discussed.
Using the controls provided in
the video area, it is possible to
regulate the sound level and to
start, stop, and replay the video.
