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.

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 ...

Success is less about memorizing formulas and more about understanding process behavior, valves, operators and controller ...

Advanced MPC systems help food manufacturers optimize complex processes, reduce waste and maintain consistent product quality ...

In the previous article, I showed how to compensate simple first-order systems. As a quick recap, a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is all that is needed for compensating first-order systems ...

Virtual PLCs can automatically recover from hardware failures by restarting on another server, thereby eliminating the downtime and guesswork of physical PLC replacement. Running control logic in ...

A new study published in Engineering introduces a neural-network-based switching output regulation controller (NN-SORC) for high-speed ...
