PITOPS TFI

Powerful and Easy Software for

Transfer Function Process Dynamics Identification (Multivariable and Closed-Loop)
TM

Pitops TFI (Transfer Function Identification)

is a software product that identifies
multivariable process transfer functions using
closed-loop or open-loop plant data.

TM

A unique feature of Pitops TFI is that it can use either

closed-loop or open-loop data. It does not need crisp
step tests conducted in a special manner but can use
historical data from the past (see examples on the left).
TM

Another unique feature is that Pitops TFI identifies

transfer function parameters directly in time domain time constants, dead time and gain. There is no need to
convert from Z or S domain, no need to worry about
poles and zeros because it presents the final values
directly in easy to understand time domain.

Pitops TFI is a multivariable identification product as shown in the slide below, where three transfer
functions are simultaneously identified using closedloop data.
Process dynamics identification can be a rather

complex subject, but now Pitops TFI shows novel,
modern ways of identifying dynamics very easily.

student can easily use PitopsTM TFI and identify
process dynamics using plant data in the control
room or computer simulation data from college
computers for academic research.

De-mystify process dynamics identification

using PitopsTM TFI. Its a must-have tool both in
chemical plant control rooms & colleges.
