Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

Fan control is an important aspect of system architecture. Though often left as a secondary activity, its implementation has significant effects. Customer response can be immediate to factors such as ...

The MathWorks has announced the availability of two new and three upgraded products for engineers developing closed-loop control systems. These tools work within the Simulink environment to expand the ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...

Some people are still leery of closed-loop motion control when both position and pressure control are needed. Hence, they put two different valves on their system, one for position control, and one ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. More than 80% of the motors bought each year continue to be low-cost single-phase ac motors. Because these motors are not very efficient when ...

For injection molding — as well as just about every plastic process — process cooling is very important for cycle time and part quality. Cooling sometimes seems like a last-horizon type of variable ...

Continued innovation in modeling and algorithm development has led to new process control for the Cyberbase/SDI drilling command center. Collaboration between the International Research Institute of ...

Allen Control Systems (ACS), a leader in autonomous precision robotics, today announced the release of Treillis, its next-generation Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test platform purpose-built for ...
