Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

Control valve selection plays a crucial role in optimizing control loop performance, and engineers must consider factors beyond just cost, leakage class and pressure drop. As explored in a Control ...

In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

As an executive in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, I have seen firsthand how outsourcing has helped businesses to scale up and operate more efficiently. However, with the advancements ...

The long-running Instrumentation & Automation Symposium is positioning itself as a critical forum for passing on the ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...

According to the vendor, NSS modeling enables v5 to handle a broader range of processes than other diagnostic and optimization software tools. Achieving and maintaining steady-state operation in plant ...

Overlay control based on DI metrology of optical targets has been the primary basis for run-to-run process control for many years. In previous work we described a scenario where optical overlay ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...
