Monitoring performance of controllers

A method for monitoring performance of controllers, the method comprising:

• obtaining, from a first controller, a first set of key performance indicators corresponding to the first controller, the first set of the key performance indicators being indicative of performance of the first controller;
• obtaining, from a second controller, a second set of key performance indicators corresponding to the second controller, the first controller and the second controller being configured to control a compressor, the second set of the key performance indicators being indicative of performance of the second controller;
• configuring a first user-defined analysis model based on a first set of user inputs and a second user-defined analysis model based on a second set of user inputs;
• determining a first control quality index (CQI) based on a first plurality of key performance indicators from the first set of key performance indicators using the first user-defined analysis model, the first CQI defining performance of the first controller in terms of utilization of the controller, availability of the controller, and reliability of the controller;
• determining a second CQI based on a second plurality of key performance indicators from the second set of key performance indicators using the second user-defined analysis model, the second CQI defining performance of the second controller in terms of utilization of the controller, availability of the controller, and reliability of the controller;
• comparing the first CQI with a first threshold value in response to the determination of the first CQI using the first user-defined analysis model and the second CQI with a second threshold value using the second user-defined analysis model in response to the determination of the second CQI;
• triggering a first notification indicating that the first CQI is lesser than the first threshold value and generating a first action indicating corrective measures to be taken to improve performance of the first controller if it is ascertained that the first CQI is lesser than the first threshold value;
• and
• triggering a second notification indicating that the second CQI is lesser than the second threshold value and generating a second action indicating corrective measures to be taken to improve performance of the second controller if it is ascertained that the second CQI is lesser than the second threshold value.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for monitoring performance of controllers, the instructions being executable by a processing resource to:

• obtain, from a performance controller, a first set of key performance indicators corresponding to the performance controller, the performance controller being configured to control a compressor, the first set of the key performance indicators being indicative of performance of the performance controller;
• configure a first user-defined analysis model based on a first set of user inputs;
• select, based on the first user-defined analysis model, a first plurality of key performance indicators from the first set of key performance indicators;
• determine a first control quality index (CQI) based on the first plurality of key performance indicators selected from the first set of key performance indicators using the first user-defined analysis model, the first CQI defining performance of the performance controller in terms of utilization of the performance controller, availability of the performance controller, and reliability of the performance controller;
• compare the first CQI with a threshold value using the first user-defined analysis model upon the determination of the first CQI;
• ascertain if the first CQI is lesser than the threshold value based on the comparison;
• trigger a first notification indicating that the first CQI is less than the threshold value and generate a first action indicating corrective measures to be taken to improve performance of the performance controller based on the ascertaining that the first CQI is lesser than the threshold value;
• and
• refrain from triggering the first notification and from generating the first action indicating the corrective measures based on the ascertaining that the first CQI is greater than the threshold value.
