Control Loop Performance Monitor

Abstract: In this thesis a control loop asset monitor is developed for ABB's automation system 800xA. The asset monitor developed here is based on ABB's Loop Performance Manager, which also is described here as well as the general properties and functions of an asset monitor. The asset monitor is a prototype for the 800xA system and a detailed description of how to implement asset monitors into the system is given. The control loop asset monitor was tested on stored data from real processes as well as on a lab scale process. This asset monitor will be used as a base for further control loop asset monitors and the report will help further asset monitor development in the 800xA system.
