What is the best strategy to get the best rate of change in the PID for a manipulated variable, or is there a more elegant solution within the control strategy itself? Answer includes example ...

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 ...

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 ...

Singapore-based AI startup Sapient Intelligence has developed a new AI architecture that can match, and in some cases vastly outperform, large language models (LLMs) on complex reasoning tasks, all ...

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

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 ...

If you took a shower this morning, you probably didn’t immediately jump into the water. It might have been intuitive to turn on hot and cold water, jump into cold water, open hot water more, continue ...

“Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn’t one today!” proclaims Phil Connors (Bill Murray) in “Groundhog Day.” This moment of existential crisis marks Phil’s turning point as he realizes that ...
