2 The POWER of ExperTune As Easy As... During AutoTune, answer the questions, and your loop is tuned. During AutoTune, you have total control of the tuning process. ExperTune Saves You Time and Increases Your Profitability Optimizes your control loops. Reduces tuning time from hours to minutes per loop. Improves product quality. Reduces waste and rework. Saves energy. Connects With Any Controller: Easy connection via: OPC or DDE Using ExperTune s setup wizards Historical ASCII file - reads plant data from ASCII file Or use ExperTune s A/D Converter - easily gets voltage, current, thermocouple or RTD data into your PC. Controllers Include: Allen-Bradley Bailey Barber Coleman Bristol-Babcock Entivity Emerson Eurotherm Fisher Foxboro GE Gould Hartman & Braun Honeywell Intellution Invensys Johnson Controls Johnson Yokogawa Leeds & Northrup Modicon Moore Omron Opto 22 PLC Direct Partlow Powers RTP Reliance AutoMax Research Inc. Rockwell Siemens Square D Texas Instruments Turnbull Valmet Valtek Westinghouse Wonderware Yokogawa and many more

3 ExperTune Pays For Itself It s All In The Faceplate Click on the faceplate and you are on-line, live. From the faceplate, change setpoint, output, mode and download tunings. Control Performance Choose Optimal, Fast, Slow or Setpoint (Lambda) PID tuning. Test different tunings in simulation before you download to find the best one for your process. Performance Increase Tells you how much better the response will be with the new settings. Advanced Data Editing Graphically zoom on the data you want to use. Clean up the data by averaging or drag the mouse to change the data on the screen. Other Products: PID Tuner/Analyzer Advanced (for DCS systems) PID Tuning and Analysis for all DCS, PLC, and single loop controllers Includes easy-to-use connection wizard to most DCS systems including Bailey, Fisher, Foxboro, Honeywell, Moore, and Yokogawa. Simulation - see the process response off-line before you download tuning. Characterizer - Linearizes for the best response at any production rate Power spectral density - Uncover interactions and cycling Reporting straight into Microsoft Word. Multi-Variable Loop Analysis - Add as many extra variables as you want. Relative Response Time - Decouple interacting loops and cascades. Histogram Plot - Analyze the grouping of your PV, CO, and Errors. PV Filter Analysis - Finds the largest possible filter to reduce valve movement. Valve Wear Analysis - Maximize valve life, reduce valve maintenance costs. Universal Linearizer for ph Loops - ph control with no cycling. Time Line Analysis - Understand time relationships between components. Loop Simulator For Simulation, Training, and Analysis includes: Control loop analysis in time, robustness, and frequency plots Simulation of over 330 different PID controllers Simulates single and cascade/feedforward loops PlantTriage PlantTriage identifies the areas in your plant where the greatest economic gains are possible. PlantTriage Assessor continually watches and analyzes your process for the areas that will make the greatest economic impact. PlantTriage includes PID Tuner/Analyzer Advanced so you can diagnose and repair those loops pinpointed by PlantTriage Assessor. PlantTriage Historian saves for viewing short and long term plant data and all assessments. We were on a very difficult to tune furnace with varying zones near 7.5 million BTU. We got it tuned in 4 hours. It is absolutely flat-lined. Plus or minus 1 degree. It worked real well. Installation and Implementation Manager, Despatch Industries Tune Several Loops At Once View the interactions of a loop on others. Save time tuning and on start-ups by tuning several loops at the same time. Tek-Disk To The Rescue For unusual loop situations - those that defy your best efforts - simply click on Tek-Disk and your loop data is zipped to disk and ed to ExperTune. One of our control engineers will analyze your problem at no cost to you. I've never seen anything work like this before in my life. It's a tough loop. It went like 15 minutes, and it just nailed it. Unbelievable. From cold start up to setpoint in 1.5 minutes. I had to sit back and look. I'm really happy with it. Instrumentation Engineer, Cook Electrical Testing

4 Increased capacity through the system about 30%. Tuning took four days instead of 30. Plus tremendous product savings. Plant Engineer, Blitz Weinhard Brewing Co. Portland, OR Instant Analysis See the you Dow The analysis windows are completely automatic, integrated, and cohesive. I have supported ExperTune since about 1990 and have seen it evolve into a sophisticated tool that I have had great success with in my work. Prince George Pulp and Paper, BC Canada I don't tune any other way. It's great stuff, it really is. It is the best. Process Engineer, Merck You have a really awesome product. It's incredible. I'm impressed, that's why I'm here and want it for the Foxboro system. Arch Chemicals, Lake Charles LA Works great. I didn't even have to open the manual. I tuned a loop within 15 minutes of opening the box, with excellent results. Manager, Application Tech Center, Modicon Click Analysis for Powerful, Instant Windows Into Your Process: Simulation - See the process response off-line before you download tuning. Try what if - Change a PID parameter and instantly see the new response compared to current tuning. Set point or upset response. Modeling - From one chunk of data. Robustness plot - Available only with ExperTune, this quickly shows the tradeoff between tuning and stability. Compares current to new. Frequency response - Shows both actual and model for easy comparison. Change Tuning and ExperTune Instantly Updates Analysis Plots Select different models, change PID selection or enter your own PID values and the simulation and robustness plots update instantly to show you the simulated effect on your loop before you download.

5 Response Before nload Tuning Improve Control by Reducing Hysteresis: ExperTune automatically analyzes loop data and quickly determines if reducing hysteresis will improve loop control. Checks Valve Sizing: ExperTune checks the valve sizing and transmitter span and recommends corrections if they are out of normal range. Improve Control Through Filters: Test different filters on your process variable to see what kind of filter to use. Click OK to a filter design and instantly see the effect on PID tuning. The software is invaluable to the I/E people -- they depend on it. Excellent tool to have standardized on, now everyone uses the same tool for tuning and they get excellent tuning. Process Systems Specialist, Alabama River Pulp You have a fantastic product. That fast plant test, you should advertise that on the front of the box - that solves so many tuning problems it just makes you cry. Process Engineer, Ash Grove Cement Helped us tune a new digital feedwater controls system for BWR #6 nuclear reactor. It was very helpful. Valuable asset because time was a big issue. Instrument and Control Maintenance Specialist, Entergy Corporation By the way, we are really pleased with the training and the product. The class was done very professionally and the software works like a dream. Sr. Project Mgr/Engineer, Weyerhaeuser
