Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...

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

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 ...

The C2 proportional system controller works with high-speed, high-accuracy proportional pneumatic valves. The device can control nonpneumatic devices such as voice-coil actuators and linear electric ...

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 ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

ARM Automation’s SplashBotix division has developed a compact, low-voltage submersible proportional valve intended for continuous underwater use in environments such as swimming pools and ocean water.
