Which subjects should be included in the curriculum of an undergraduate process control course, and which should not?

Control systems shape the performance of technologies from autonomous vehicles to power plants. With MATLAB and Simulink, you can virtually model, design, and optimize controllers before deploying ...

While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and ...

Motor control ICs deliver higher efficiency, along with AI/ML functionality for improvements in predictive maintenance.

"Windup" occurs when the integral term grows indefinitely while the actuator is saturated (at max limit). Standard PID calculates d(Error)/dt. This library calculates ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Game flow nutmeg control examples, where sharp execution and quick touches create space against defenders. These plays show how awareness, timing, and precision influence possession and open attacking ...

You’ll learn about instrumentation and valves. The article identifies the importance of positioners in fast loops. How first-principle dynamic simulations provide insights into compressor surge, ...

Climate change reports, deleted. DEI initiatives, banned. Local TV and radio stations, defunded. Books, removed from military academies. Names of civil rights leaders, erased from ships. History ...

Abstract: Many industrial processes are multi-input and multi-output. One challenge during controller design is to ensure both performance and robustness of the closed-loop in the presence of coupling ...
