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 ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is one of the most common types of automatic control used in the power industry. A PID controller continuously ...

Since the early 1900s, PID compensators have been one of the most widely used closed loop controllers in industrial applications. However, the tuning of such controllers is widely considered a ...

A temperature controller is an instrument that controls temperatures, often without extensive operator involvement. In a temperature controller system, the controller accepts a temperature sensor as ...

Quite a few of you thought the Naze32 was left out of last column’s flight controller roundup. I hear you loud and clear! I’ll add the Naze to the controllers which will be tested on The Hackaday ...

PID loop control capability (up to 8 loops simultaneously) has been added to the CLICK® Series of stackable, Ethernet-capable micro brick PLCs. CLICK PID control is streamlined with only the features ...

The concept of autonomous operations in manufacturing is not built on wholly new technologies. In fact, it can be seen as part of the continuing development of closed loop feedback systems. Looking ...

CS series process control modules enable PID loop control of any process without using a PLC. A variety of modules are available for temperature, flow, or pressure control. Single- and dual-loop ...
