Feed-forward control is a powerful – and often misunderstood – tool. When applied appropriately and implemented correctly, Feed-Forward can dramatically improve disturbance rejection and process stability. When applied indiscriminately or without proper design, however, it can introduce new problems and undermine controller performance.

To help engineers navigate proper Feed-Forward implementation, Control Station provides this simple and practical Feed-Forward Checklist as a field-tested resource for evaluating, designing, and validating Feed-Forward control strategies.
