PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control has existed for decades and there are many tools available to help implement PID to tune process control systems, thereby making it generally easy to ...

According to process control experts, a detailed and specific set of control valve requirements is more than necessary when it comes to good control loop performance. Feb. 21, 2025 Control valve ...

This new control-loop architecture, usable with both linear and switching regulators, is designed to generate very low noise voltages and the level of noise becomes independent of the set output ...

All power supplies require some type of feedback loop to regulate the output voltage. A simplified diagram of a buck controller is shown in Figure 1 with a pulse ...

Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

As an executive in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, I have seen firsthand how outsourcing has helped businesses to scale up and operate more efficiently. However, with the advancements ...

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 ...
