It is a common situation in electronics to have a control loop, that is some sort of feedback that drives the input to a system such as a motor or a heater based upon a sensor to measure something ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

At the core of any modern industrial process is a control system guaranteeing precision, stability, and efficiency. Perhaps the most commonly used are PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) ...

What is it that derivative is supposed to help accomplish when tuning proportional-integral-derivative (PID) loops? Most of us get by most of the time with simply using the P and I components when ...

Application flexibility and cost concerns are creating a demand for intelligent power-supply designs that support soft configuration in production and external control. These advanced power supplies ...
