This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Low-code and modular programming environments are transforming PLC programming, with vendors providing pre-packaged libraries and objects that eliminate traditional IEC-61131-3 style coding, allowing ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a Arduino based Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) temperature control system using an Arduino UNO, R-type thermocouple, and solid-state relay (SSR ...

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

Delta Electronics announces the launch of the DTDM Series of high-precision modular temperature controllers. Designed to meet the stringent demands particularly in the semiconductor industry, the DTDM ...

After criticizing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) upon his return to office, President Donald Trump took steps to slash jobs at the agency — but his administration now appears to be changing ...

In a previous article by the authors, “Deadtime compensation opportunities and realities,” evidence showed how simple implementation of deadtime compensation improves loop performance over and above ...

Abstract: This research paper focuses on the integration of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technology with traditional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers to improve temperature ...
