Control Station Inc.

Control Station Inc. Control Station’s growing portfolio of software-based solutions solve difficult control-related challenges that face process manufacturers every day.

We’re making optimization easy. Control Station was founded on the campus of the University of Connecticut in 1988 by Dr. Douglas Cooper. The company was among the first to introduce software simulations to the Chemical Engineering curriculum, immersing students in a dynamic and more intuitive learning experience. Since its introduction the company’s software-based training solution has been licen

sed to 100s of colleges and universities worldwide, and it remains the cornerstone of a training and skills development offering for academics and industry practitioners alike. We lead the industry in PID controller tuning solutions. The design of our tuning products are intuitive and have been recognized with awards for their ease-of-use. Equally important, they’re innovative. In 2006 we eliminated the steady-state requirement which previously forced practitioners to steady their processes before software could be used to tune a PID control loop. With introduction of our Non-Steady-State (NSS) Modeling Innovation, we made it possible to accurately model the noisy, oscillatory process conditions that are typical of industrial applications. Control Station’s tuning solutions remain the only suite of products capable of tuning NSS conditions whether the loop is operated in open- or closed-loop as well as with either integrating or non-integrating process. Our contributions to performance monitoring and process analytics are equally notable. Control Station was among the first to introduce tools for the continuous assessment of control loop performance. Our initial foray into monitoring was in 2004. Utilizing innovations in OPC connectivity, the tool equipped users with real-time trending and statistical analysis of individual controllers. In 2009 we launched a platform technology for proactively monitoring all loops within one or more production facilities. With innovative approaches to data capture, metrics, forensics and analysis, our platform technology stands apart. Today, Control Station is the leading independent vendor of control loop performance monitoring solutions. For over thirty years the company has harnessed the creative energies of its surroundings, producing an array of best-in-class technologies for improving production efficiency and throughput. Unique capabilities combined with ease-of-use enable customers to finally achieve their process optimization objectives.

Most engineers are taught to tune PID loops for tighter Set Point tracking. But in many real-world processes, the bigger challenge is disturbance rejection.

That shift in thinking can make a major difference in loop stability, process reliability, and overall performance.

In this upcoming webinar, we’ll walk through practical strategies for tuning PID loops specifically to handle disturbances more effectively—using structured, repeatable methods that engineers can apply in day-to-day operations.

In this session, you’ll learn:
• When disturbance rejection should take priority over Set Point tracking
• Practical tuning techniques designed specifically for disturbance-heavy processes
• How to configure PID loops in a structured, repeatable way for more stable operation

Designed for engineers newer to process control—or anyone looking for a practical refresher, this session focuses on application, not theory alone.

Tomorrow’s session is your chance to step away from trial-and-error tuning.

If you’ve ever spent hours adjusting a loop only to get inconsistent results, this webinar will feel familiar—and useful. We’ll walk through how IMC compares to traditional methods like Ziegler–Nichols, and where it provides a more direct, reliable path to tuning.

In one hour, you’ll get a clearer way to:
• Reduce guesswork and avoid repeated tuning cycles
• Minimize disruption to production while optimizing loops
• Match tuning parameters to real control objectives like tracking and disturbance rejection

It’s a practical session built for engineers who need results they can apply immediately.

Controller performance often degrades gradually, not suddenly.
Small shifts in process gain, dead time, or valve behavior can erode disturbance rejection long before alarms appear.
- LOOP-PRO Tuner models process dynamics to maintain tuning aligned with real behavior.
- PlantESP tracks variability, interaction, and constraint performance over time.
- Digital Lifecycle Solutions connect these insights to prioritized improvement actions.
