In the nearly 40 years since electronic control systems first became common features of industrial machines, controls theory has necessarily evolved to keep pace with machine design. Early on, systems ...

A8 from Yokogawa Corporation of America are Linux-based embedded controllers built on Ubuntu 24.04 with real-time patches, ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Recent advances in motion control include high-performance servo drives, AI integration, and enhanced communication protocols like EtherCAT. These advances are designed to improve precision, ...

Disturbance rejection, like command tracking, is usually expressed graphically. The graphs, called disturbance rejection plots, show the effect of PIV gains on disturbance torque applied to the shaft ...

The PID Tuning Translator converts PID tuning from one industrial PID controller to another. It converts PID values from any of more than 490 different industrial PID controllers to the new system.

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 ...
