Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

A linear control variable yields a uniform surge margin across the full operating range and simplifies both closed-loop and ...

PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control has existed for decades and there are many tools available to help implement PID to tune process control systems, thereby making it generally easy to ...

While process manufacturers have justified nearly 30 years of automation investments on the observations of one man, today’s control loop performance monitoring technologies are providing new, ...

For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...

Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...

How to define the performance criteria of a digital control feedback system, such as a PID control system. How to define the speed and resolution of the control DAC and the sense ADC by using the ...

Part of the company's open-communication InFusion enterprise control system, this controller supports serial, fieldbus and Ethernet protocols, including EtherNet/IP, making it easy to interface to ...
