E-2's main propulsion system consists of two DC motors directly driving contra-rotating propellers. An underwater vehicle with a single propeller is subject to undesirable torque forces, especially if ...

In this chapter, I will present a few useful “cookbook” applications for real-time control circuits designed to perform some specific low-level task and interface with a master controller for ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

“Cyber-physical systems” are the next generation of closely integrated physical and cyber systems. Several critical systems such as the power grid, autonomous transportation systems, and process ...

Process control is moving forward as quickly as data collection and processing can carry it, and a recent research effort demonstrated how fast and flexible, and adaptive, machining operations can be.

How self-tuning can support an adaptive control strategy. How Model Reference Adaptive Control can improve adaptability. The different types of MRAC. A certain amount of flexibility is always good to ...

Oscillation detection in process control systems remains of paramount importance in ensuring operational efficiency and maintaining product quality. The ability to accurately identify and characterise ...

New features in Version 8.0 of Simatic PCS 7 process control system range from improved data exchange, an easier engineering workflow and redundancy-related and fault-tolerant functions to new ...
