At the core of any modern industrial process is a control system guaranteeing precision, stability, and efficiency. Perhaps the most commonly used are PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) ...

The Dpi32 and CNi32 high accuracy series of 1/32 DIN programmable temperature/process meters and PID controllers feature RS-232 and RS-484 communications. These user friendly, easy to configure units ...

The controller contains the “control algorithm,” or control logic equation. The most common control algorithm is called PID, which stands for Proportional (P)-Integral (I)-Derivative (D). When the ...

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.

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Distillation columns are extensively deployed in the chemical process industries when there is a need for separation of components that have different boiling points. Typically, a mixture of ...

Processes and process automation take many forms. Here’s how to navigate the growing ecosystem of tools for automating everything from simple repetitive tasks to complex custom workflows. In 2015, ...
