Closed-loop fan control provides an ideal way to control fan speed because it drives the fan to a target fan speed by measuring a tachometer signal from the fan.

The control loop requires further assistance to reach a desired steady state. Figure 6: Over Damped Control Loop. With a further bit of ingenuity, we can solve this problem. If too much oscillation ...

Currently, the most popular type of closed-loop control system is the Proportional–Integral–Derivative (PID) controller. These controllers constantly measure and modify the output of a system to meet ...

Tokyo-based Azbil Corporation has launched the model C1A single loop controller for use in the factory automation market.

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

The digital twin concept is really about creating a macro control loop with many subloops covering the entire manufacturing and production operations. The digital twin uses a wide range of inputs and ...

ROHM leverages its LogiCoA technology to control a power-factor-correction stage and flyback DC-DC converter stage at the same time.

Power management ICs are progressing quickly towards more digital control and the so-called digital power supply in all its various forms. The pros and cons of digital versus traditional analog ...

Here are seven tips to start thinking about how to implement human-in-the-loop automation in your business.
