About The PID Tuning Blueprint

The PID Tuning Blueprint is a guide-book that walks you through a proven method for tuning PID loops that I have picked up and refined over my 12 years as a control systems engineer. I have never found this method in any book or on any website, so I decided to publish it myself online so that engineers had an alternative to the very frustrating and downright sub-standard trial and error methods that every other website seems to teach.

Format Of The PID Tuning Blueprint

The PID Tuning Blueprint is available as an immediate download in PDF format.

It is published as an un-locked PDF file so you are free to have a copy on multiple PCs. You are also able to print the whole book if you prefer.

By purchasing a single licence you are free to use it for your own use only. If you wish to share it with the rest of your team, then please contact us and we will be more than happy to provide you with a price for a site-wide licence. Alternatively you could keep it all to yourself and gain the respect and admiration of your colleagues as the "go-to guy" for tuning PID loops :-)

The PID Tuning Blueprint comes with a logbook which is presented in MS Word, so you can fill it in electronically and also modify it to suit your company's documentation style.

It also comes with a Linearizer Macro that will increase the performance of your loop dramatically if the actuator is non-linear. This needs MS Excel 2003 or higher.
