The purpose of this application note is to describe how a PIC16F684 can be used to implement a positional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback control in an inherently unstable system. An ...

As I said in my first column in December 2012, proportional/integral/derivative (PID) solutions seem to require an expertise that is in the hands of a few. But here I ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Aim: To demonstrate the potential of in-line nanoparticle size measurements using the NanoFlowSizer (NFS) as a PAT method. To achieve real-time process control by establishing automated regulation of ...

A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...
