INCA PID Tuner

PID control is still the most widespread control strategy in process industry. An optimally tuned PID controller brings safety, stability and a better performance for your process. This guarantees a more competitive operation of your plant. Optimally tuned PID controllers are also the first step to take if further optimisations of your plant are at stake.

In order to learn to optimally tune your PID controllers IPCOS organises 2 to 3 times a year a 3-day INCA PID Tuner course in our office in Leuven. During this course we will recapitulate all the necessary control theory and teach you the correct strategy to tune your own controllers. During the course many real life examples will be given. We will also teach you how to work with INCA PID Tuner. On demand this INCA PID Tuner course can be organised on site (minimum 5 attendees).
