Control Engineering’s top 5 pieces of content over the past week includes PIDs, industrial controls, control loops and more.
1. PID spotlight, part 2: Know these 13 terms, interactions
Learning proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller tuning begins with the basics: Definition of terms, the PID equation (multiple forms) and seeing how each of the PID terms functions independently from each other and separated from a process.
2. See the future: Four benefits of software-defined industrial controls
Modern automation solutions are already untethering the control system from its hardware constraints, enabling operations teams to drive more flexible projects and operations. See four benefits of software-defined control systems.
3. Three reasons to tune control loops: Safety, profit, energy efficiency
PID controller tuning is a keystone skill for control practitioners that is often given short shrift. What is the justification for investing in this critical skill? Why tune control loops?
4. Automation creates a better world; SCADA helps nearly 100 ways
At the 2024 ScadaFest conference keynote session, Trihedral executives, part of the Delta Group, touted the power of advanced supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) software.
