ExperTune setup wizards make it easy to connect your DCS to powerful loop analysis software

ExperTune Setup Wizards
Using OPC and DDE Servers

These wizards make connecting to the following controllers a snap. Your controller not in the list? The first time you connect, ExperTune software creates a wizard for you (patent pending).

The wizards are included in both PlantTriage, Advanced PID Optimizer and PID Tuner. The connection is through an OPC (or DDE) server. (PlantTriage supports OPC only).

The wizards connect to your controller using your OPC server. OPC is OLE for Process Control. There are OPC servers for virtually all modern digital controllers. DDE is also supported.
