ABSTRACT:
A self-tuning deadtime controller for adaptively adjusting one or several controller parameters during process control activities. The controller tunes, for example, the controller deadtime and the proportional band to optimize deadtime controller performance. The high performance of a deadtime controller is maintained even though the controller is incorrectly pretuned or if the process is subject to loads which change its characteristics.
