The tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loops was an important change at HollyFrontier’s Navajo Refinery in Artesia, N.M. Its hands-on, “mandraulic” culture was no longer cutting ...

This book is about using both the Raspberry Pi 4 and the Arduino Uno in PID-based automatic control applications. The book starts with basic theory of the control systems and feedback control. Working ...

The reactive controls we discussed in Part 1 are driven entirely by error. This is a bit like driving a car while looking out the back window. Your mistakes may be ...

The purpose of this application note is to describe how a PIC16F684 can be used to implement a positional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback control in an inherently unstable system. An ...

Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc. has announced its new EchoTherm™ Model CO50 Programmable HPLC Column Chiller/Heater. The CO50 has a temperature range from 4.0°C to 100.0°C readable and settable to 0.1°C ...

Unless commissioning protocols are updated, automation control software may become difficult to perform validation testing on as machine learning and AI become more common. One of my more aspirational ...
