For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...

Well designed conventional PID controllers using Ziegler-Nichols method are having large overshoot and settling time. Significant research work has been carried out to improve the performance of ...

Over the past decade, the functionality of different control systems has been merging. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) now have capabilities once found only in distributed control systems (DCSs) ...

Sous vide cookers aren’t anything new, but [Phil] wanted to build the first sous vide using the osPID, an open source PID controller just released in the last month. The build uses the osPID Open ...

The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing adoption of computer control systems in various industries. Input and output devices are ...
