PROCESS CONTROL LOOP ANALYSIS SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method which allow a user to retrieve data (125) from various process control loops and organize that data in a dynamic manner to allow for multiple types of data analysis. A user may associate individual process control loops into groups and analyze the data and impact of select process control loops in those groups (145). Since the associations of process control loops into groups can be done dynamically (125, 145), the user is able to easily reconfigure groups (i.e. add or remove process control loops) and redo the analysis. Another feature is the storage of both the data retrieved and the results of the analysis so that comparisons can be performed and reports can be generated.
