Hot glue guns are pretty simple beasts: there’s an on/off switch, a heating element, and a source of current, be it battery or wired. You turn it on, and the heater starts warming up; ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

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 ...

So-called “advanced loop tuning” produces the same results as traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tuning, says Dr. George Cheng, co-founder and president of Cybosoft, General ...

The CN142 Series universal temperature process controllers provide dual LED displays for local indication of process value and setpoint value, and control methods include on/off, PID, auto-tune, and ...
