Performance Assessment Of Non-Deadtime Compensated Controllers

US Patent:
6546358, Apr 8, 2003
Filed:
Feb 9, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/501129
Inventors:
Alan Hugo - Danville CA
Assignee:
Alan J. Hugo - Danville CA
International Classification:
G06F 1900
US Classification:
702179, 700 32, 702182
Abstract:
A method for determining the performance of non-deadtime compensated controllers (i. e. , PID) requiring only closed-loop data and an estimate of the process deadtime. A numerical measure is calculated which is a comparison of the actual variation of the process to the variation that would be expected if the process were controlled by an optimal non-deadtime compensated controller.

Performance Assessment Of Controllers Applied To Integrating Processes

US Patent:
6594593, Jul 15, 2003
Filed:
Jun 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/595981
Inventors:
Alan Hugo - Danville CA
Assignee:
Alan J. Hugo - Danville CA
International Classification:
G05B 1302
US Classification:
702 45, 700 32, 702179
Abstract:
A method for determining the performance of controllers applied to integrating processes requiring only closed-loop data and equipment parameters. A numerical measure is calculated which is a comparison of the actual variation of the manipulated variable to the variation that would be expected if a controller which minimized the maximum rate of change of the manipulated variable while keeping the controlled variable within a specified range was used.

Evaluation Of Alarm Settings

US Patent:
6618691, Sep 9, 2003
Filed:
Aug 28, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/649227
Inventors:
Alan Hugo - Danville CA
Assignee:
Alan J Hugo - Danville CA
International Classification:
G05B 1302
US Classification:
702181, 700 30, 700 33
Abstract:
A method for evaluating alarm settings for continuous or semi-continuous processes that gives an indication of the probability that an alarm will occur for values preceding the alarm value, and the probability that the process will continue on to a value following the alarm value. The technique requires only a history of alarm events and process measurements.

Statistical Quality Control Of Alarm Occurrences

US Patent:
7289935, Oct 30, 2007
Filed:
Aug 2, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/497441
Inventors:
Alan J. Hugo - Danville CA, US
International Classification:
G04F 1/00
G06F 17/18
US Classification:
702176, 340506, 702179, 702181
Abstract:
A method for evaluating an alarm system for continuous or semi-continuous processes that gives an indication of the actual loading on the operator. A transformations is applied to a data set consisting of alarms and associated times, resulting in the data being much more amenable to common techniques of statistical quality control. The technique requires only a history of alarm events, and the transformation has a strong intuitive appeal.

Process Controller Output And Alarm Setting Evaluation

US Patent:
2006004, Mar 2, 2006
Filed:
Aug 27, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/928592
Inventors:
Alan Hugo - Danville CA, US
International Classification:
G05B 9/02
US Classification:
700080000, 700081000, 700082000
Abstract:
A method for evaluating alarm settings and controller response time for continuous or semi-continuous processes that gives an indication of the ability of the controller to respond quickly enough to prevent alarms, and an indication of whether the alarm setting is within the normal operating region of the process. The technique requires only a history of alarm events, process measurements, and controller outputs.

Performance Assessment Of Model Predictive Controllers

US Patent:
6459939, Oct 1, 2002
Filed:
Jun 29, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/340531
Inventors:
Alan J. Hugo - Danville CA, 94526
Assignee:
Alan J. Hugo - Danville CA
International Classification:
G05B 1302
US Classification:
700 44, 700 29, 702182
Abstract:
A method for determining the performance of model predictive controllers requiring only closed-loop data and an estimate of the process deadtime. A numerical measure is calculated which is a comparison of the actual variation of the process to the variation that would be expected if the process were controlled by a model predictive controller with no move suppression and no model mismatch. The measure accounts for the fact that the disturbance model employed in the Model Predictive Controller may be different from the actual process disturbance.
