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 ...

An expert’s journey to implementing best process control via instrumentation, control strategies and PID control ...

The process controller’s job is to maintain the process variable at setpoint, regardless of whether the setpoint is constant or has just been changed. The controller contains the “control algorithm,” ...

Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control is one of the most common types of automatic control used in the power industry. A PID controller continuously ...

“Ease-of-use might seem to be a boring [technology] quality,” observes Dennis Nash, chief executive officer and president of Control Station Inc. (www.controlstation.com), Tolland, Conn. Except, that ...
