Closed-loop control troubleshooting By Jacques Smuts, PhD, PE Automation Basics Summary By Jacques Smuts, PhD, PE Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not ...

The Control Loop Don Morgan Tuning a PID controller is pretty straightforward, once you know how to start and what steps to follow. In this series on motion control, we have already discussed ...

PID control loops are widely utilized in many aspects of everyday life and industrial automation, including gyroscopes in self-navigating cars and smartphones, flow controllers in pipes, ovens that ...

(Click on Image to Enlarge) Figure 1: A system with negative feedback The closed loop transfer function is: When 1 + G (s)H (s) = 0. the system is clearly unstable. Therefore the condition G (s)H (s) ...

The digital twin concept is really about creating a macro control loop with many subloops covering the entire manufacturing and production operations. The digital twin uses a wide range of inputs and ...

The control loop must have sufficient gain and bandwidth to quickly adjust the duty cycle up or down as the FET transitions on and off. The output voltage swings between 10.5 volts and below 0.1 volt, ...

The non-invasive stability assessment is a method that uses an output impedance measurement to accurately determine stability without access to the control loop. The non-invasive stability assessment, ...
