In a recent installment of the International Society of Automation’s “Ask the Automation Pros” series, Erik Cornelsen, ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Earth may be on the verge of crossing several climate change tipping points that could have irreversible and devastating consequences. Here's everything you need to know about these "points of no ...

I am writing some tight control loops (modulating the speed/current based on the position of the motor) and while I use sleep and its okay it really should be synchronized to the control loop or pid ...

Analog inputs (e.g., temperature readings) Analog outputs (e.g., modulating commands to control devices such as a chilled water valve) Binary inputs (e.g., fan statuses) Binary outputs (e.g., ...

Recent advances in motion control include high-performance servo drives, AI integration, and enhanced communication protocols like EtherCAT. These advances are designed to improve precision, ...

Magnets aren’t magic, but sometimes you can do things with them to fool the uninitiated — like levitating. [Jonathan Lock] does that with his new maglev desk toy, that looks like at least a level 2 ...

This article introduces overall controller effectiveness (OCE) as a new, intuitive metric for evaluating PID loop performance in process industries. It tells how OCE helps process plant teams ...
