EUROelectronics is a machine builder that was asked to design a closed-loop hydraulic cylinder control system for a die-casting press machine. The high-speed press moves anywhere from 0 to 10 m/s and ...

Machines and processes are controlled using many strategies, from simple ladder logic to custom algorithms for specialized process control, but proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most ...

A temperature controller is an instrument that controls temperatures, often without extensive operator involvement. In a temperature controller system, the controller accepts a temperature sensor as ...

New ISA technical report distills thousands of pages of PID references for improving process performance. Even though controllers using the proportionalintegral-derivative (PID) algorithm have been ...

Austin, Tex. — National Instruments has released the NI LabVIEW 8.5 Control Design and Simulation Module, an extension of the LabVIEW graphical system design platform that helps engineers analyze open ...

The Real-Time pH Process Modeling and Control Simulation Software is built in National Instruments' LabVIEW platform and includes pH process diagram, a strong-acid-strong-base pH model, a ...

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 ...
