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 ...

PID controllers are named after the Proportional, Integral and Derivative control modes they have. IT's basically a control loop feedback mechanism. As the name suggests, PID algorithm consists of ...

Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; eventually you ...

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

Abstract: This paper presents a reinforcement learning (RL)-based approach for dynamically adjusting the gains of a proposed PID controller using an actor-critic framework. To enhance computational ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a novel adaptive path tracking controller that integrates the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm with a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control ...

K = float(np.random.uniform(low=1.0, high=5.0, size=1)[0]) # needed to calculate tau_us Kd = float(np.random.uniform(low=0.2, high=0.8, size=1)[0]) # needed to ...

It is a running gag around here that whenever a project posts, someone will inevitably point out that it could have been done ...

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

ARTIFICIAL intelligence is advancing rapidly. But adoption in process industries will be slower – and for good reason.

Sweden is globally recognized for its industry-leading standards in minimizing Campylobacter prevalence throughout the production chain. This achievement reflects more than three decades of systematic ...

Researchers at the University of Oxford developed matrix-assisted room-temperature (MART) drying to stabilize proteins at room temperature on cellulose matrices. Published in Engineering, it removes ...
