description Actuator, mostly valve, wearing is an important factor of the overall industrial control system operational cost. Actuator operational wear strongly depends on its operation. Highly utilized elements have a tendency to degrade faster. Therefore, the maintenance teams prefer to minimize their moves. In contrary, control engineers need the actuators to actively operate in their control loops to mitigate disturbances and follow the desired trajectories. Higher control performance is often achieved with an active use of actuators. Control loop quality depends on the controller setup and loop auxiliary functionality. Properly designed filtering not only facilitates controller action, but also impacts actuator operational wear. Industrial control templates are built using the blockware that is embedded in the existing control system. Distributed control system (DCS) and programmable logic controller (PLC) have a limited number of control algorithms. An engineer has to design the control structure and the associated sensor noise filtering using available functionality. This paper evaluates and measures the impact of noise filtering on the loop performance and on the actuator weariness. Relations between noise filtering time constant, loop performance and valve travel deliver recommendations for control engineers.

Sensors (Basel) Article Actuator, mostly valve, wearing is an important factor of the overall industrial control system operational cost. Actuator operational wear strongly depends on its operation.
