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

Many engineers are taught that tight Set Point tracking is the primary goal of PID control. In practice, however, many industrial processes achieve better performance when controllers are tuned for disturbance rejection.

Join Dr. Chris Christie, Director of Services at Control Station, and Madhur Bedre, President of Atlat PRX, for a practical discussion on how to configure PID loops to maintain stability and minimize the impact of real-world process disturbances.

In this free webinar, you'll learn how to:

✅ Recognize when disturbance rejection—not Set Point tracking—should be the primary control objective
✅ Apply tuning techniques specifically designed for disturbance-focused performance
✅ Configure PID loops in a structured, repeatable way for more stable and reliable operation

Whether you're new to process control or looking to strengthen your understanding of PID tuning fundamentals, this session will provide practical guidance you can apply immediately.

Next week, join Dr. Chris Christie, Director of Services at Control Station and Madhur Bedre, President of Atlat PRX for a live discussion on one of the most important, and often misunderstood—aspects of PID control: disturbance rejection.

Many engineers focus on Set Point tracking, but in operating plants, minimizing the impact of process disturbances is often what matters most.

During this webinar, you'll discover:

• When disturbance rejection should take priority over Set Point tracking
• Practical tuning approaches for handling real-world process variability
• A systematic framework for achieving stable, predictable loop performance

If you're looking to build a stronger foundation in PID tuning or refresh your process control knowledge, this session is designed for you.

Disturbance rejection requires a different tuning philosophy than setpoint tracking.
Aggressive proportional gain improves tracking but can amplify noise and interaction during real disturbances.
Model-based tuning evaluates:
• Process gain sensitivity
• Dead time ratio
• Integrating vs self-regulating dynamics

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.
