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, ...

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 ...

Process instruments consist of two main components: a sensor and a transmitter. The sensor is sometimes part of the instrument assembly, as with some pressure instruments, but is more often separate, ...

ABB has added Ethernet-APL (Advanced Physical Layer) connectivity to its CoriolisMaster mass flowmeter, thus completing the ...

Volumetric flow, flow velocity and temperature measurement – three of the most important variables which help to ensure efficient process control. So, wouldn’t it be convenient if you could measure ...

New process device profiles have been added by ODVA to the EtherNet/IP specification to provide end users with another tool to help optimize plant operations. According to ODVA, the new process device ...
