Choosing Controller Process Variables

When controlling a composition or temperature, it is common to choose the PV from a stream. However, this can be problematic if the flow is very low, stopped, or reversed. In such situations the variable will stop responding to the manipulated variable, but the controller may continue to boost its output signal. So be careful what stream is chosen, or try and obtain the variable from a vessel.
