In a recent installment of the International Society of Automation’s “Ask the Automation Pros” series, Erik Cornelsen, ...

Calibrates IMU (offset averaging at setup) Reads sensor data (combining high/low bytes) Runs sensor fusion (accelerometer + gyro adjustments) Maintains finite-state loop, accepts commands from ground ...

Abstract: The stochastic behaviour of wind speed and the turbulence that develops between turbines are common factors that induce stress in wind turbines. PID controllers are widely used as a speed ...

"Windup" occurs when the integral term grows indefinitely while the actuator is saturated (at max limit). Standard PID calculates d(Error)/dt. This library calculates ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a gain-scheduling PID controller design strategy for hydroturbine frequency control mode. This scheme first uses real data to learn the nonlinear dynamics of the ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

You’ll learn about instrumentation and valves. The article identifies the importance of positioners in fast loops. How first-principle dynamic simulations provide insights into compressor surge, ...

They look, move and even smell like the kind of furry Everglades marsh rabbit a Burmese python would love to eat. But these bunnies are robots meant to lure the giant invasive snakes out of their ...

Introducing the 10502B Pellet Grill - the latest addition to our 1000 series family, featuring a host of remarkable upgrades for an elevated grilling experience. The biggest myth about Trump’s base ...

Florida’s Burmese python problem isn’t going away anytime soon. The researchers, snake trackers, and other conservationists working to remove the giant snakes will be the first to tell you that ...
