For this reason, it is important that the controller can be put into operation as quickly and with as little effort as possible. B&R introduces its new software-based closed-loop temperature control ...

A temperature controller is an instrument that controls temperatures, often without extensive operator involvement. In a temperature controller system, the controller accepts a temperature sensor as ...

Starting with the sensor, measuring and controlling temperature is an essential building block of process industries. Automatic control in continuous processes uses industrial control systems to ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

Sometimes, you need to test a circuit element over temperature, but it's impossible to put the entire application circuit in the temperature chamber. Freeze sprays and hair dryers are convenient for ...

Thermal-liquid temperature control systems offer key benefits over other techniques of cooling and heating. Some benefits are low maintenance, efficiency, lack of cool or hot spots and the total ...

Power plants–especially coal-fired boilers–pose a set of process control problems unparalleled in other industries. Rapid load ramps, continuous unit demand changes, variable fuel quality and process ...

If you wanted to, say, control a temperature you might think you could just turn on a heater until you reach the desired temperature and then turn the heater off. That sort of works, but it is ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...
