Poor control costs process manufacturers millions every year. Those losses come in the form of increased energy consumption and excessive use of production inputs. They hit your top-line in the form of reduced throughput as well as erode your bottom-line in the guise of production-related defects. But what about process dynamics and your facility’s workhorse — the all-important PID controller?

This quiz presents an opportunity to test the knowledge about PID control. It may highlight information you apply on a regular or even on a daily basis. It might also expose some details that have slipped with the passage of time![/fusion_text][/three_fourth][one_full last=”yes” spacing=”yes” center_content=”no” hide_on_mobile=”no” background_color=”” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” background_position=”left top” border_size=”0px” border_color=”” border_style=”” padding=”” margin_top=”” margin_bottom=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”” animation_speed=”0.1″ class=”” id=””][fusion_code]PCEtLSBTaGFycFNwcmluZyBGb3JtIGZvciBQcm9jZXNzIENvbnRyb2wgMTAxOiBQdXQgWW91ciBLbm93bGVkZ2UgdG8gdGhlIFRlc3QgIC0tPg0KPHNjcmlwdCB0eXBlPSJ0ZXh0L2phdmFzY3JpcHQiPg0KICAgIHZhciBzc19mb3JtID0geydhY2NvdW50JzogJ016WXdOekt3TUxRMEJRQScsICdmb3JtSUQnOiAnTTB4TE5VcXhNRFhUVFVrMVQ5UTFNVWt6MWswME1UUFVUVXRKTkRBMVNFeEpTYkswQUFBJ307DQogICAgc3NfZm9ybS53aWR0aCA9ICcxMDAlJzsNCiAgICBzc19mb3JtLmhlaWdodCA9ICcxMDAwJzsNCiAgICBzc19mb3JtLmRvbWFpbiA9ICdhcHAtM1EzTFg3NTAyUS5tYXJrZXRpbmdhdXRvbWF0aW9uLnNlcnZpY2VzJzsNCiAgICAvLyBzc19mb3JtLmhpZGRlbiA9IHsnQ29tcGFueSc6ICdBbm9uJ307IC8vIE1vZGlmeSB0aGlzIGZvciBzZW5kaW5nIGhpZGRlbiB2YXJpYWJsZXMsIG9yIG92ZXJyaWRpbmcgdmFsdWVzDQo8L3NjcmlwdD4NCjxzY3JpcHQgdHlwZT0idGV4dC9qYXZhc2NyaXB0IiBzcmM9Imh0dHBzOi8va29pLTNRM0xYNzUwMlEubWFya2V0aW5nYXV0b21hdGlvbi5zZXJ2aWNlcy9jbGllbnQvZm9ybS5qcz92ZXI9MS4xLjEiPjwvc2NyaXB0Pg0K[/fusion_code][/one_full][/fullwidth]
