The design strategy leverages the company's PLC, CNC, operator interface, and software strengths into a unified, general-purpose motion control system. The InTune 4.0 Loop Tuning Software package helps users tune their PID loops manually. It also allows users to review each loop's historical performance, update the loop's tuning parameters automatically when performance degrades, and simulate the loop's future behavior with updated parameters. Software package is designed to handle the most complex, multivariable, constrained processes imaginable, from catalytic crackers to paper machines. It guides the user through every step of design, using terms and concepts familiar to the average unit operator.
Mathematical details remain transparent to the user, and no programming is required.
A 486 processor, or better, is recommended. The VIA Schematic 4.0 Software works with AutoCAD to automate the drafting process for electrical controls design. The software draws common schematic elements automatically. These elements can be selected, defined, and their position indicated in the drawing by mouse clikc. VIA Schematic creates a drawing from automated circuit routines and over 250 predefined electric symbols.
