SIM is a robust, flexible platform in which up to eight high-performance instruments share the same compact mainframe and computer interface. Unlike other modular systems, both front-panel and ...

(Editor's additional note: if you are not familiar with the principles and analysis of PID control: you should be; It is the most important, studied, understandable, and applied closed-loop control ...

A temperature controller is an instrument that controls temperatures, often without extensive operator involvement. In a temperature controller system, the controller accepts a temperature sensor as ...

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 ...

For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...

The well-known and nearly hundred years old "proportional-integral- derivative"(PID) controller is a linear feedback control method which adjusts the input signal by ...

They're different, but by borrowing some digital approaches to design simplification, analog can play nicely with digital in many vendors' portfolios. The gossip: Analog and digital will soon battle ...

Application flexibility and cost concerns are creating a demand for intelligent power-supply designs that support soft configuration in production and external control. These advanced power supplies ...
