Most often, a proportional-integral-derivative or PID control algorithm can do the job. The output from the PID is applied through the digital to analog converter (DAC) to the amplifier and the motor.

Traditional PID is difficult to be applied in large inertial system. It is determined by a large number of engineering experiments, which brings great limitations to the practical application of PID; ...

Tuning a PID controller is pretty straightforward, once you know how to start and what steps to follow. In this series on motion control, we have already discussed permanent magnet brushed and ...

The induction motors has been widely used in various industries due to its robustness maintenance free operation, better efficiency and lower cost. In different industries, wide range of speed control ...

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 ...

A few weeks ago, I installed an automatic water heater switch to my bathroom, but it was a crude device. What I really want to do is design a universal heater driver. That basic idea can be adapted to ...
