Good building mechanical design requires a firm grasp of the mechanical engineering fundamentals (thermodynamics, psychrometrics, the fan laws, etc.). The same can be said about the BAS design needed ...
Control loops incorporating proportional, integral, and differential (P, I, and D) factors have become standard functions of motion controllers. Many of the latest controllers also offer feed-forward ...
Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) is the most common industrial technology for closed-loop control. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller can be used to control temperature, ...
The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...
In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...
How brushless DC motors use electronic commutation to maximize efficiency and ensure smooth and stable motion. Compare trapezoidal, sinusoidal, and sensorless commutation techniques, including key ...
