Applying the principles of closed loop PID control to your system fan requirements will eliminate many problems down the road. Darrin Vallis is a principal field applications engineer at Cypress ...

The test results for a typical second-order system (which includes most linear regulators, voltage references, opamps and input filters) is an exact solution. Therefore, the non-invasive test can ...

Today on Hackaday Dictionary, we’re going to talk about the two basic types of control systems: open-loop and closed-loop. We’ll describe the differences between them and explore the various ...

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 ...

A manufacturer of thermal system components has introduced an integrated control loop to the market. With its EZ-Zone ST, Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co. (St. Louis) is touting its claim as ...

Practically speaking, in a control loop system, it means that the correction signal no longer opposes the output but returns in phase with the exact same amplitude as the excitation signal.

The inherent 90 degree phase lag, combined with the lag in the plant and feedback systems can cause the system to be unstable, if the gain and frequency are high enough. PI control Proportional ...
