: I've been working with MVC for several years. However, I've never come up with a good solution to keeping Operator skills from atrophying when Multivariable control is ON.

: I've heard some folks turn OFF multivarible controllers periodically to allow the operator to keep current on operating the process with the advanced controls off. Others never turn the Advanced Controls off because they lose too much money when they do.

: Does anyone have any perspectives on this dilemma?

: Thanks

We use a concept called APC Offday , when APC is switched off for maintenance and operators are subjected to use control skills. You are right it is very difficult to keep skills upright after a long period of time , when APC is on
