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

With the ever-increasing complexity of today’s printed circuit boards, the many voltages required to properly power all the integrated circuit loads are now managed by a range of point of load (POL) ...

ABB has introduced the Loop Tuning Accelerator Service, powered by ServicePort, to reduce the time between diagnosing control loop issues and tuning the loops to improve performance. ABB has ...

As a new adaptive control option for the PPC-2000 programmable multi-loop process control system, Tru-Tune is designed to help fine-tune PID control loops and adaptively tunes dynamic systems that ...

On my first project as a combustion control engineer, I was responsible for loop checks and for watching the experts tune the system controls. The first loop I tried to tune solo was the drum level ...

Machines and processes are controlled using many strategies, from simple ladder logic to custom algorithms for specialized process control, but proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most ...

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 ...

There are two types of motion control engineers: Those who are comfortable tuning a servo loop, and those who aren't. The latter basically, have two options. The first is to use a non-servo device ...
