This tutorial shows how digital controllers can be created from ananalog (or continuous) model. This is especially useful when aprocessor is used to control an analog system. Many methods areavailable ...

Digital fieldbus technologies, including Foundation fieldbus and Profibus, are increasingly being used with success in the nuclear and fossil fuel power industries. This article compares a ...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved a license amendment request from Duke Energy Carolinas to replace the analog controls at one of its nuclear power plants with a digital system. The ...

A digital-control system generally includes a set of system-response specifications (a transfer function), a controlled process, a computational element (CPU), sensors to measure the system's variable ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...

Learn to apply control systems in automotive, energy, aerospace, robotics, and manufacturing sectors. Apply feedback control laws to stabilize systems and achieve performance goals. Control systems ...

Testing digital designs usually requires one or more digital signals, some of which can be very difficult to generate. Pattern generators are specifically designed to address this problem. Whatever ...
