A manufacturer of thermal system components has introduced an integrated control loop to the market. With its EZ-Zone ST, Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. (St. Louis) is touting its claim as ...

Steve Sandler explains what every engineer should know about ‘non-invasive’ stability assessments. The non-invasive stability assessment is a method that uses an output impedance measurement to ...

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 ...

Control loop performance-monitoring software can help to improve loop performance at electric power plants by automatically collecting data, assessing several aspects of loop performance, and ...

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 various ...

In the electronic field, an oscillator is a circuit capable of producing a self-sustained sinusoidal signal. In a lot of configurations, cranking up the oscillator involves the noise level inherent to ...
