20220350324 · 2022-11-03 · ·

Parameter settings and operational data are received from machines for a current predefined time interval. For each machine, a corresponding health metric value is calculated based on the received operational data and machine health data, and stored in association with the received corresponding parameter settings. Associated unknown health metric values are estimated for machines associated with combinations of parameter settings different from the received parameter settings having at least one of the combinations of parameter settings with an associated previously determined health metric value, and at least one other of the combinations of parameter settings with the associated unknown health metric value, based on the corresponding calculated health metric value and the corresponding previously determined health metric value. Associated parameter settings for at least one healthiest machine and at least one least healthy machine are determined based on the stored health metric values and are automatically adjusted.

Process model identification in a process control system

A method of controlling and managing a process control system having a plurality of control loops includes implementing a plurality of control routines to control operation of the plurality of control loops, respectively, wherein the control routines may include at least one non-adaptive control routine. The method then collects operating condition data in connection with the operation of each control loop, and identifies a respective process model for each control loop from the respective operating condition data collected for each control loop. The identification of the respective process models may be automatic as a result of a detected process change or may be on-demand as a result of an injected parameter change. The process models are then analyzed to measure or determine the operation of the process control loops.
