Summary

The tuning of a control loop is an important part of maintaining an efficient process. However, loop performance and the loop tuning process may be compromised by various nonlinearities and anomalies in a loop. Nonlinearities may be an inherent property of the process, or may be inadvertently introduced during the design process, equipment specification, the installation process, or even due to improper maintenance.
