Performance Monitoring Software stops plant cycling at source.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Dec 05, 2012 Monitoring plant 24/7, PlantTriage software automates engineering analysis, completing Fourier Transform and identifying key periods of oscillation. Software then filters information so only most likely sources of problem will be identified. Pre-configured Problem-Solver report for oscillation analysis can be viewed online, emailed, exported to Excel, or scheduled for email delivery whenever PlantTriage finds significant issue. No programming or SQL skills are required.

NSS Modeling, Tuning Software facilitates level control.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Sep 05, 2012 Accelerating and facilitating level control modeling and tuning, ExperTune includes non-steady-state (NSS) modeling features for integrating control loops. Tools work with all other integrating processes, such as gas tank pressure controls, and users can develop level control models and tuning even when process has not achieved steady-state. Integrating with PlantTriage and PID Loop Optimizer software, tools provide capabilities to tune for both tight control and surge-tank scenarios.

Diagnostic Software reveals invisible plant changes.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Aug 01, 2012 PlantTriage v10.1 and higher comes with CompareMap tool, which lets plant operators see, at-a-glance, how their plant is changing over time. Tool highlights biggest changes and provides drill-down into corrective actions. Comparing plant performance from 2 periods of time, CompareMap instantly highlights performance improvements and deterioration. Plant graphic is based on Tree Map technology, and overall functionality enables 80+ aspects of plant performance to be monitored.

Control Loop Monitoring Software delivers diagnostics in 1 hr.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
May 31, 2012 PlantTriage v11 includes Configuration Wizards that automatically extract DCS controller configuration, with user supplying only basic information. Wizards use knowledge of control system to gather data, including loop configuration information such as engineering units and spans. PlantTriage then has access to up-to-the-second information about controller modes, setpoint, and process variables. In addition to process issues, diagnostics identify faulty instruments, control valves, and tuning.

Software graphically highlights plant interactions.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Dec 23, 2008 Designed to monitor all plant control loops and instruments in real-time, PlantTriage includes browser-based Interaction Hot Spots tool, which graphically highlights plant interactions. Green indicates no interaction, while yellow indicates some interaction, and red indicates strong interaction. Users can click on graphical hot spot to start detailed investigation, displaying real-time process variable trends and process interaction map, and establishing root cause of interaction problem.

Software supervises and promotes system performance.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
May 21, 2007 Used enterprise-wide, PlantTriage v7.0 offers secure connectivity over corporate networks to provide global view of plant performance and process control assets. Shadow Server connections promote further protection for mission-critical control systems, while customizable support for all world languages enables users to see data in their own language and share it with other users, each of whom see that same information in their preferred language.

Software captures control loop performance.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Feb 09, 2006 Using data from existing DSC or PLC systems, PlantTriage(TM) software monitors plant operations 24/7. After analyzing data from control system, PlantTriage(TM) assesses performance of every control loop, and prioritizes plant issues according to economic importance. Loop Performance Snapshot adds graphical representation of loop analysis computations, displaying information such as oscillation detection, comparison of KPIs, linearity, and variability.

Translation Software facilitates PID settings conversion.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Aug 17, 2005 PID Tuning Translator converts PID settings from any DCS, controller, or PLC to any other DCS, controller, or PLC. When migrating from PLC to DCS, PID tuning parameters are converted directly to proper units and time bases for algorithm choice to maintain established dynamic performance of control loop. All loops retain their basis of performance and are converted in hours. In addition to included 490 PID algorithms, users can customize their own combinations.

Software measures profit and performance in real-time.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
May 23, 2005 PlantTriage enables users to develop real-time profit and performance measures from process plant operating data. Integrated Equation Builder makes calculations based on data acquired from anywhere in enterprise. Drawing from library of math functions, calculations range from simplistic to involved, and results are made available by built-in OPC server for archiving or analysis. Assessments can be used to automatically trigger work orders.

Software assesses performance of batch processes.

ExperTune, Inc.    Hartland, WI 53029
Mar 30, 2005 PlantTriage pinpoints areas of batch processes that can be improved, offers specific analysis recommendations, and prioritizes areas for improvement. Equation builder allows assessments of batches to be synchronized to periods within batch when control loops are operating. Software, which automatically performs 46 assessments on every controller on each batch process, connects to automation control systems via OPC or OPC HDA.
