Although PID controllers are a very common type of process controller they have many unique features that make using, selling, or specifying them different from other devices that have simple on/off control such as panel meters and process displays.
This webinar is ideal for the engineer, operator, or salesperson who is familiar with panel meters and other basic process meters and is looking to learn more about what makes PID controllers different.
Using the SuperNova PD500 Series as an example, this webinar will discuss the terms, features, and applications that relate to selling and using PID controllers. Other types of PID controllers beyond the SuperNova series will also be discussed, with the goal that those who attend will be able to understand what PID controllers are, and the key elements for using, specifying, and selling them.
In this webinar, Joe Ryan, VP of Sales and Marketing, will present a high-level view of PID controllers for a target audience that are not PID controller experts. If you cross paths with PID controllers, but have questions about their different sizes, the reason for the multiple display lines, the terminology used, or are not really sure what is and is not a PID application, join us for this webinar!
Takeaways:
- Learn what a PID controller is, and what is and is not a good application for PID controllers
- Become familiar with the terms used in conjunction with PID controllers
- Increase confidence when specifying PID controllers

Webinar Description:
Redundancy in control systems is crucial to ensure a plant is not completely vulnerable to cyber-attacks. For instance, if a control system is compromised, then a local 4-20 mA indicator can serve as a backup local monitoring, control and alarming system.
According to the Associated Press, on February 5th, 2021, a hacker remotely accessed the control system at a water treatment plant in Florida and altered chemical levels. The hacker attempted to increase the amount of lye used to treat the water to dangerous levels. Even though the intrusion was quickly caught and stopped by the operator on site, the incident exposes how vulnerable both industrial and municipal plants can be to cyber-attacks.
Officials said the public was never in danger and plant safeguards would have detected the chemical alteration before water reached consumers. This highlights the importance of redundancy in industrial control systems and how it can help avert a catastrophe.
In this webinar, Joe Ryan, VP of Sales and Marketing, will discuss fail-safe solutions against cyber attacks, including how a local 4-20 mA indictor can serve as a backup local monitoring, control, and alarming system in case of a compromised control system.
Takeaways:
- Understand the threats cyber attacks pose on industrial and municipal plants.
- Learn how industrial control systems can benefit from redundant local display, control, and alarming.
- Discover how Precision Digital can provide fail-safe solutions against cyber attacks using local displays.
