Switching power supplies rely on feedback control loops to ensure that the required voltage and current are maintained under varying load conditions. Design of the feedback control loop influences ...

Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

All motion control systems aim to maneuver loads down paths with a predefined motion. If this intended motion is achieved by comparing actual load motion to desired motion and then making corrections, ...

The State Feedback Pinch Valve is ideal for smart automation, medical and analytical instrumentation, process control systems and high-cycle OEM applications. Clippard’s new valve delivers intelligent ...

Festo introduces the DHOP closed-loop pipette head for high-speed robotic pipetting applications requiring consistent volumes over a wide range of liquid viscosities. The DHOP pipette head provides ...

The Microchip PIC16F1578 microcontroller features an enhanced mid-range core with flash program memory, self-read/write capability, and extraordinary flash endurance and speed (100,000 writes per ...

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 ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...
