Evolving PID tuning rules
A brief history, starting with the earliest PID controllers to the most recent developments. There is more continuity than you might expect. » more
Regenerative power units save energy
Spindle drives, decanter centrifuges, hoists, cranes, elevators, and torque dynamometer test rigs can save energy from frequent run and stop, deceleration with high inertia load, and overhauling... » more
New approaches for remote I/O installations
New modular I/O technologies increase your options for communication with field instrumentation and devices. These are particularly useful when longer distances are involved. » more
Borrow now to invest, expand, economist says
To prepare for the next five years of growth technology, companies should borrow and invest to become more competitive. See video summary, with more advice included below. » more
