Driving a light-emitting diode (LED) or LED array is not without its challenges. The LEDs require a well-designed constant-current source for controlled brightness. More specifically, the output ...

According to process control experts, a detailed and specific set of control valve requirements is more than necessary when it comes to good control loop performance. Feb. 21, 2025 Control valve ...

What is the role of a control loop? Three approaches to selecting compensation components for switching regulators. 1. An LTC3311 switching regulator IC with an ITH pin for adjustment of control-loop ...

PID control algorithms do not exist in a vacuum. That’s why it’s important to consider numerous operational factors before tuning a control loop. PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control has ...

is now a function of time for both constant ζ and for ζ (t): . How ζ (t) varies over time depends on the ACL dynamics. The problem can be approached generally, without regard to oscillator type, by ...

Control loop performance-monitoring software can help to improve loop performance at electric power plants by automatically collecting data, assessing several aspects of loop performance, and ...

Most multi-rotor aircraft are about as aerodynamic as a brick. Unless all its motors are turning and the control electronics are doing their thing, most UAVs are quickly destined to become UGVs, and ...

On my first project as a combustion control engineer, I was responsible for loop checks and for watching the experts tune the system controls. The first loop I tried to tune solo was the drum level ...
