Engineered Systems NEWS High-Performance Buildings & Automation Back To BASics — Control Loops When it comes to mechanical system design, don’t be thrown for a ‘loop.’ ...

CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS FOR D.C. DRIVES The most common arrangement, which is used with only minor variations from small drives of say 0.5 kW up to the largest industrial drives of several megawatts, is ...

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 ...

There are many control functions to be implemented for each axis of motion. First, a position profile , which is a sequence of position commands versus time, must be generated. Second, a position loop ...

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 ...

Today on Hackaday Dictionary, we’re going to talk about the two basic types of control systems: open-loop and closed-loop. We’ll describe the differences between them and explore the va… ...

Targeting thermoelectric cooling/heating subsystems based on the Peltier effect, the LTM4663 module provides the functions and features needed to implement a temperature-control loop for precise ...
