Tuning a PID controller is pretty straightforward, once you know how to start and what steps to follow. In this series on motion control, we have already discussed permanent magnet brushed and ...

Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...

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 ...

Take a look at mechatronics' applications in diverse industries, such as automotive engine systems, hard-disk drives and Web-transport systems, and you'll find a growing emphasis on "sensorless ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

A new software product promises to boost the bandwidth of a servo drive’s current control loop, opening up new possibilities in industrial motion control applications. Fast Current Loop software is ...
