What is Pitops?

Pitops emerges as the exclusive software solution that can perform authentic closed-loop system identification with PID controllers in Auto mode or with secondary PID controllers in Cascade mode, all without the need to disrupt the cascade chain or engage in additional, time-consuming plant step tests. This positions Pitops as unmatched in the market, as no other competing software can accurately identify transfer functions using data gleaned from PID controllers operating in Cascade mode. Moreover, Pitops carries out transfer function identification purely in the time domain, setting it apart from other tools that depend on the more complex Laplace (S) or Discrete (Z) domains. The software is also equipped with an extraordinary ability to handle multiple inputs and simultaneously identify various transfer functions. By employing a cutting-edge proprietary algorithm, Pitops enables closed-loop transfer function system identification in the time domain with multiple inputs, vastly outpacing traditional techniques such as ARX/ARMAX/Box and Jenkins that are utilized by rival tools. This innovative methodology not only simplifies the identification process but also significantly improves both accuracy and efficiency, solidifying Pitops as the industry's premier choice. As a result, users can expect a more streamlined and effective approach to system identification that enhances overall performance.

What is COLUMBO?

A universal multivariable optimizer, designed for closed-loop systems, aims to improve the performance and quality of Model Predictive Control (MPC) systems. This optimizer harnesses data from Excel files derived from Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) by Aspen Tech, Robust Model Predictive Control Technology (RMPCT) from Honeywell, or Predict Pro from Emerson, facilitating the development and fine-tuning of precise models for various multivariable-controller variable (MV-CV) pairs. This cutting-edge optimization solution does away with the need for step tests that are usually required by Aspen Tech and Honeywell, functioning entirely in the time domain to maintain user-friendliness, compactness, and efficiency. As Model Predictive Controls (MPC) often involve numerous dynamic models—sometimes tens or even hundreds—there is a significant risk of utilizing incorrect models. Inaccurate dynamic models in MPCs can introduce bias, which appears as model prediction errors, leading to inconsistencies between expected signals and actual sensor measurements. COLUMBO emerges as a robust tool to bolster the precision of Model Predictive Control (MPC) models, effectively leveraging either open-loop or fully closed-loop data to guarantee peak performance. By tackling the risks associated with errors in dynamic models, COLUMBO not only enhances the reliability of the control system but also contributes to a more efficient operational framework. Ultimately, its implementation is expected to yield substantial advancements in control system effectiveness across various applications.
