Summa Control Solutions - Education

The course was well executed. Great content. No long calculus equations just straight forward practical learning that can be applied to the real world. The use of Scilab/Xcos was a great addition. It’s was first for me and I enjoyed it. It allowed me to see how different parameters and methods reacted. This was different from most courses where a trend is presented. It encourages student participation. I enjoyed the final portion the most. I had never been exposed to the other tuning methods (HATZ, CHATZ, etc). Most entry level courses never mention anything outside of ZN or Lambda. It’s a great base to build on. Experimenting with the methods was interesting. Sigi’s knowledge and real world experience is obvious. I look forward to future courses. The biggest take away from this course is to always understand what you are changing. It looks easy on a simulator or when done by a professional with experience but that experience was earned. Industrial equipment is powerful. One small change is a process loop can ripple throughout a facility and have undesired results.
