Compared to the conventional PID controller, the adaptive controller ADCO is the better alternative, especially for processes that are difficult to control. This has the following advantages:

• About 10 to 20% time savings in the commissioning phase due to the fast and rugged controller setting
• Significantly better control quality for difficult processes
• Very good adaptability, especially where there are changes to the process characteristics
• Significant reductions in transmission times for status transitions in batch processes (e.g. heating a product from temperature level A to level B)
