Loop signature 22: How cyclical disturbances affect a control loop
April 2024, Editor's Choice, Michael Brown Control Engineering
When tuning noisy loops, we recommend in our courses that one should eliminate the noise by editing it out, so the tuning will be done only on the true process response, free of any noise. The controller is controlling the process, and is not controlling the noise.
