Software helps reduces valve wear

Hubertus, Wis.— A new version of ExperTune software calculates process variable filtering and PID values to help eliminate unnecessary valve travel and reversals for less valve wear. From process analysis data ExperTune compares predictions of valve travel and reversals in the presence of noise and develops a “valve travel index” that is used to suggest first order, second order, butter worth, or averaging filter values users can enter into their control system tuning parameters.
