9. After the overall diagram of the plant has opened, the controller of LIC21 was double
clicked to open the faceplate.
10. The Process History View was clicked to see the trend of the process.
11. The process need to be stabilized in manual.
12. The initial value of MV was recorded and the step change of 10% was taken.
13. After the response has reached the steady state, the response graph was printed
and calculation for obtaining the RR, td and tc.
14. The calculated value of PI controller was obtained by using Ziegler-Nichols method.
Closed Loop Test for LIC11
10. The controller was set to auto mode.
11. The detail icon was clicked at the faceplate in order to set the controller setting.
12. The calculated value of Gain, Kc and Reset, I was entered in the detail.
13. After the response has reached the steady state, the value of the optimum PI
controller was recorded.
14. Load disturbance test was done by turn the process into Manual mode and make a
step change of MV by 10% for three second and change into Auto mode again.
15. After the process has stabilized, the process response after changed the MV was
observed.
16. The set point test was done by adding the previous set point with 10% from total
value which is 0.6m3/h.

Discussion
This project was tittle controllability of level control using various tuning rule .
The objective of this project is to compare the value of the level control calculation by
using a method of:
Tuning Rules by Ziegler Nichols
In this project equipment LIC 21 is used to control the level. From the method,
the value of dead time (
td
, time control (
Kc
tc
PID mode is to fast process response and noisy processes like flow, pressure and
liquid level control.
This project is start with open loop test. First, the manipulated variable (MV) is at
30% at level 500 mm. Then, we set the controller to manual mode and increase the
MV by 15%. Ensure that the process has stabilize, at 638 mm the controller is set to
auto back. The step is repeated four more times at MV of 10%, 10%, 20% and
15%. After that, the value of response rate (RR), dead time (T d), time control (
tc
is calculated from the graph we obtained. The value of P and is the calculated. The
tabulated data is as follows :

Next, the calculation of Gain(Kc ) and Reset can be calculated from the
average values of the result based on the graph which concludes the open loop test
and will be used to proceed for the closed loop test.
After that, we proceed to next step which is set point test by using the method of
tuning rule stated above. For this set point test, we calculate using 2 difference
modes which are P and PI. These 2 modes consist of different type of calculations.
After that we wait until the graph become stable then repeat the same step for load
disturbance test. There will be 4 different graphs because of using 4 different
calculations.
In order to stabilize the graph, we need to increase the value PB and I and also
decrease the value of KC. When the value of PB increasing, the controller action
become slower which in turn slows down the process response and shift the graph to
the right. An increasing I value, the controller action will also become slower and
lower the peak of the graph. The value of K C should be decrease because
decreasing the KC value will increase the PB value. PB value is inversely proportional
to KC value.
