Simulation of process control can ensure productive automation projects. But how much effort should be allocated to ...
A loop that was never real is what happens when the system was never capable of catching anything in the first place.
Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm to determine PID controller tuning regions that guarantee the stability of closed-loop control systems using the pole placement method, assigning a known ...
An AC/DC power supply with input power greater than 75 W requires power factor correction (PFC) to: Take the universal AC input (90 V to 264 V) and rectify that input to a DC voltage. Maintain the ...
You’ll learn about instrumentation and valves. The article identifies the importance of positioners in fast loops. How first-principle dynamic simulations provide insights into compressor surge, ...
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 ...
In the latest post of the Ask the Automation Pros blog series, the pros explore how to deal with interacting PID loops. I kept thinking “what aren’t the sources?!” A plant is full to the brim with ...
Abstract: The control of pneumatic soft robotics is challenging due to nonlinearites arising from many factors including pneumatic system components and material properties of the soft actuator.
