Process steps

Complex process flows arise when many process parameters change simultaneously. It therefore makes sense to break the overall process down into individual steps.

Process flows can be highly complex. This is particularly true when many process parameters change simultaneously. In such cases, a complex model of interactions and actions emerges, involving numerous interdependencies.

To manage this complexity, the overall process is divided into individual steps wherever possible. Each process step can then be considered and described separately. This allows suitable control loops to be defined.

The controlled variables are monitored within the control loops. Based on these controlled variables, the manipulated variables are adjusted to correct deviations. In this way, disturbances can be detected and compensated for. This ensures that process control is structured and reproducible. Dividing the process into individual steps also facilitates automation.
