Yokogawa csTUNER
Powered by Control Station

GS 33B90A01-01E-A

General
Yokogawa csTUNER collects live process data and
models the dynamics of a process to tune it for
improved performance. Tuning constants are
calculated by csTUNER and can be downloaded
directly the the controller. csTUNER employs a
patent-pending process modeling routine that
enables users to accurately model non-steady
state process data. Tuning parameters produced
by csTUNER can be adjusted by the user to be
more or less aggressive as desired to meet the
users control objectives.

Key Features

Image 1: csTUNER launches directly from Controller Faceplate.

Image 2: Graphics show collected data and model

Fully integrated with the Yokogawa CS 3000

R3.08.x and CENTUM VP.
Runs on HIS and launches from HIS menu on
faceplate or graphic
Collects data from local or remote OPC server
Uses Opmark and Operator Guidance messages to
inform the operator of data collection and tuning
changes

Image 3: Analysis of performance and stability.

Accurately models non-steady state process data

Collects up to 48 hours of process data
User can select subsets of time from within the data
set.
Selectable model action of P-Only, PI, PID, or PID
with Filter
Image 4: Preview of PDF report

Adjustable time constant to tailor PID controller

performance.
Graphical comparison of process response to
existing tuning parameters and to proposed tuning
parameters.
Graphical and statistical analysis of control stability
Creates PDF reports of PV and MV scaling;
process data; model fit; simulated PID response
graphics; tuning analysis, performance statistics,
stability analysis; and proposed tuning parameters.
Easy configuration of plot colors, OPC connection
parameters, and user access.
