Abstract: An auto-tuner is adapted to be used in a distributed process control network having a communications network that communicatively couples a process controller, which executes a process control routine, and one or more process devices used in a process control loop. The auto-tuner includes a first tuning element configured to cause a control entity to force the process loop to undergo an auto-tuning procedure and a tuning data stack operating within one of the process devices to receive and store a tuning signal associated with the control entity along with a time stamp indicating the time the tuning signal was acted on by the device. A measurement data stack is disposed in the same or a different process device and operates to receive and store a response or measurement signal generated by the process device along with a time stamp indicating when the response signal was generated or detected. A second tuning element which may be, for example, in a controller or a workstation, periodically receives data from the tuning data stack and the measurement data stack and determines a tuning parameter to be used in tuning the process loop.

Abstract: Systems and methods for simulating operations of a Fieldbus system (FS). The FS (200) includes a Fieldbus interface module (FIM) coupled to field devices. The methods involve creating a simulation computer model (SCM) of the FS, generating simulation data records (SDRs), and running simulation software (SS). The SS is installed on a computer system (242), FIM (232, 234), or embedded device (222, 226). The SS simulates at least one operation of the FS. The SS uses at least a portion of the SCM and at least one of the SDRs. The SCM includes functional blocks and interconnections between the functional blocks. The functional blocks represent the FIM and/or field devices. The SDRs include data defining the SCM, a control strategy of the FS, and communication links between the FIM and field devices. The SDRs also include data defining the operating characteristics of the FIM and field devices.
