摘要: A method includes obtaining data identifying values of one or more controlled variables associated with an industrial process controller. The method also includes identifying periods when at least one of the one or more controlled variables has been moved to an associated limit by the controller. The method further includes, for each identified period, (i) identifying a standard deviation of predicted values for the associated controlled variable and (ii) determining a control giveaway value for the associated controlled variable based on the standard deviation. The control giveaway value is associated with an offset between the associated controlled variable's average value and the associated limit. In addition, the method includes identifying variances in the one or more controlled variables using the control giveaway values and generating a graphical display identifying one or more impacts or causes for at least some of the variances.

摘要: A method includes obtaining data associated with operation of a model-based industrial process controller. The method also includes identifying at least one estimated impact of at least one operational problem of the industrial process controller, where each estimated impact is expressed in terms of a lost opportunity associated with operation of the industrial process controller. The method further includes presenting the at least one estimated impact to a user. The at least one estimated impact could include impacts associated with noise or variance in process variables used by the industrial process controller, misconfiguration of an optimizer in the industrial process controller, one or more limits on one or more process variables, a quality of at least one model used by the industrial process controller, a quality of one or more inferred properties used by the industrial process controller, or one or more process variables being dropped from use by the industrial process controller.

摘要: A field device, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium provide for cost of lost opportunity to operators in real-time using an advance process control. The field device includes a memory and a processor operably connected to the memory. The processor receives current values and average values for controlled variables and manipulated variables; determines costs of lost opportunity for each of controlled variable variance issues, limit issues, model quality issues, inferential quality issues, and variable model issues based on the current values and the average values of the controlled variables; and stores the costs of lost opportunity for the field device.

摘要: A method includes obtaining data associated with operation of an industrial process controller and identifying impacts of operational problems of the industrial process controller. The method also includes generating a graphical display for a user, where the graphical display presents one or more recommended actions to reduce or eliminate at least one of the impacts of at least one of the operational problems. The method further includes triggering at least one of the one or more recommended actions based on input from the user. The method could also include executing one or more analytic algorithms to process the obtained data and identify the operational problems of the industrial process controller. Each of the one or more analytic algorithms could be instantiated as a container, and multiple containers could be instantiated and executed as needed. Results of executing the one or more analytic algorithms could be transformed into a standard format.

摘要: A method includes identifying one or more proxy limit variables to be used to define an operating envelope associated with an industrial process controller. The industrial process controller is associated with a number of process variables including the proxy limit variable(s). The method also includes maximizing and minimizing at least one of the proxy limit variable(s). The method further includes presenting maximum and minimum values of the at least one of the proxy limit variable(s) as the operating envelope in a graphical user interface to at least one user. A single proxy limit variable could be used, and maximum and minimum values of the single proxy limit variable can be presented in a one-dimensional representation of the operating envelope. Multiple proxy limit variables could also be used, and maximum and minimum values of the proxy limit variables can be presented in a multi-dimensional representation of the operating envelope.

摘要: A method includes retrieving process variable values from a multivariable predictive controller. The multivariable predictive controller is executed on an embedded platform and is configured to control an industrial process. The method also includes simulating how the multivariable predictive controller would attempt to control the industrial process based on the process variable values. The method further includes transmitting simulated process variable values to the multivariable predictive controller.
