MPC700: Basic Implementation and design of Model Predictive Control

This course trains on the use of MPC (model predictive control) software. It starts from the fundamentals: the history behind MPC, the need for MPC, how MPC is superior when used right and where other control methodologies could be more appropriate.

The course covers how to conduct step tests and identify MPC models, design and build the MPC controller, startup, and commissioning. The course also covers MPC maintenance, and how to modify and improve MPC models after years of operation or after significant process changes. It covers automated step testing, PRBS, and other new techniques.

Our MPC700 (Basic Implementation and design of Model Predictive Control) training course is very practical, and easy to understand for everyone: engineers, technicians, operators, and students – both new and experienced. That is why our customers consider us the best.

This training course covers the use of MPC (model predictive control) software. It starts from the fundamentals: the history behind MPC, and the need for MPC. The course covers how to conduct step tests and identify MPC models, design and build the MPC controller, and startup and commissioning, all in the time domain. Our course is more hands-on than any competitor. Students can download and install process control software products on their personal laptops for use during our process control training. The software products are full-blown industrial process control software applications used by the industry. This level of hands-on approach tremendously aids the learning process and mastering process control theory and practicals.

Our instructors have over 30 years of industrial experience and process control training experience. They not only have the technical process control knowledge but also skills to make sure participants are fully engaged and able to concentrate on the material.

As part of the MPC700 training course you will only get the possibility to install the following powerful software product on your own computer (7-day free training license):

• COLUMBO – Closed-Loop Universal Multivariable Optimizer for Model Predictive Control

After competition of our full-blown MPC700 training course, you will get an international diploma as a process control expert in the field of Basic implementation and design of model predictive control, and you will get also the possibility to install our multivariable system identification process control software for the time period of more than one month.

• Process Control Engineers, DCS Technicians and Supervisor

• Knowledge of primary process control is required.

• A few months of plant experience especially on a DCS is preferable.
