The Olympics has given us plenty of jaw-dropping gymnastics moments. Few were as shocking as the “D*** Loop,” a ...

Success is less about memorizing formulas and more about understanding process behavior, valves, operators and controller ...

AI agents are now being weaponized through prompt injection, exposing why model guardrails are not enough to protect ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Large language models don’t fail because they lack intelligence. They fail because they lack anchoring. Context Anchored Generation (CAG) introduces a control-based approach: All outputs must remain ...

Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across various domains, including code generation and problem solving. However, their application in robotic ...

An AC/DC power supply with input power greater than 75 W requires power factor correction (PFC) to: Take the universal AC input (90 V to 264 V) and rectify that input to a DC voltage. Maintain the ...

How to define the performance criteria of a digital control feedback system, such as a PID control system. How to define the speed and resolution of the control DAC and the sense ADC by using the ...

Negative feedback can create a control system where the output of a process is used to counteract any deviations from a desired set point, effectively “correcting” the system, bringing it back to ...

In the latest post of the Ask the Automation Pros blog series, the pros explore how to deal with interacting PID loops. I kept thinking “what aren’t the sources?!” A plant is full to the brim with ...
