Model Predictive Control (MPC) has emerged as a versatile and robust strategy in modern control engineering, enabling controllers to predict future system behaviour and optimise performance over a ...

Event-based control systems represent a paradigm shift from conventional time-driven sampling methods by updating control actions only when a significant event occurs. This strategy not only reduces ...

The process controller’s job is to maintain the process variable at setpoint, regardless of whether the setpoint is constant or has just been changed. The controller contains the “control algorithm,” ...

Galil Motion Control is announcing its GalilSuite Software Package, their latest generation software for configuring, analyzing and tuning Galil motion control systems. GalilSuite is a replacement for ...

The tuning of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control loops was an important change at HollyFrontier’s Navajo Refinery in Artesia, N.M. Its hands-on, “mandraulic” culture was no longer cutting ...

Power plants–especially coal-fired boilers–pose a set of process control problems unparalleled in other industries. Rapid load ramps, continuous unit demand changes, variable fuel quality and process ...
