Slide 9 - 1 Override Control
Basis - Override Control
Æ Override control is used to
regulate a process input to
maintain one process
Max Value output at target without
violating a constraint on
Override another output.
Controller
Æ Two controllers and a
< Information Needed control selector (Low or
to Tune Controllers High) are required for
Controller override control.
Æ The selector output is fed
back to both controller for
Manipulated Process the purpose of preventing
controller reset windup
when the controller is not
selected.

Slide 9 - 2 Override Control
Example – Clarifier Control
Æ Flow of lime mud
from the clarifier is
normally maintained
DIC
109
at the setpoint of
FIC White FIC110.
109
Liquor
FY
109 Clarifier Æ If the pumpout
<
DT SC
density falls below
109 FT
109
109 the setpoint of
DIC109, the density
overrides flow
control and the
pumpout is reduced.

Slide 9 - 3 Override Control
Example – Compressor Control
Æ Flow through the
compressor is normally
regulated to maintain the
pressure setpoint of
PC
PIC90.
1-1
IC Æ If the motor current
1-1
exceeds the setpoint of
PY IT
90 90
IC89, then the flow is
< PT
90 reduced - allowing
FT
90 pressure to drop below
setpoint to avoid damage
to the motor.

Slide 9 - 4 Override Control
Over -ride Control in DeltaV
Over-ride
Æ The control
selector block is
designed
specifically to
support override
applications
Æ External reset
should be
enabled on both
PID’s for best
performance
Æ The PID
BKCAL_IN status
indicates if it has
been overrriden

Slide 9 - 6 Override Control
Tuning Override Control Loop
Æ The two PID’s used in an override strategy must
be individually tuned,
Æ The dynamic response of the controlled
parameter will in general be different for a
change in the manipulated parameter.
Æ Tune the PID that is in control making sure the
override loop is in Manual with an output value
that will not be selected. Repeat the process for
the other PID

Slide 9 - 7 Override Control
Over -ride Control Workshop
Over-ride

Æ Step 1. Open the EXAMPLE_F module and go to on-line operation

in Control Studio. Place the two PID’s in Auto and observe
the response when you set both setpoints to 50.
Æ Step 2. Change the setpoint of PID1 to 60 and observe the reaction
of PID2. Change the setpont of PID1 to 45 and observe the
response.
Æ Step 3. Change the disturbance input to 30 and observe the
response of the override loop and the process
response.
