As shown in Figure 2, most CAPM programs, such as Matrikon's ProcessDoctor, will convert real-time measurements of controller operating mode, present value, set point and output into daily indicators such as variance index, oscillation index, valve stiction index, utilization index, economic performance index, etc. In particular, if contamination reaches roller guide tracks and the capstan shaft, stiction can occur during load and unload, causing the media to jam up in the drive. RPI CAT will develop and provide robotic and automation expertise; UTD, nanoscale fabrication technologies; and UNT, surface science for friction and stiction control. |
