Neural networks in process control: Neural network training, implementation

Inside Process: Neural network technology has been applied in a number of fields with great success. With proper training to demystify the technology, it can be more widely applied to solve some of the most nagging process control problems. “Part 1: Neural networks in process control” focused on neural network architecture, control space, model range, data types, and dataset selection. Part 2 of this 2-part series covers preparing the dataset for training, neural network model training and validation, implementing a neural network model on a control platform, and human-machine interface (HMI) requirements.
