How Can I Correct for Noise Using External Filters?

Choices, choices. In the realm of process control practitioners are regularly forced to choose between competing options. Consider a PID control loop: Should it be tuned for faster disturbance rejection

How Can I Correct for Noise Using Internal Filters?

Noise is inevitable. To one degree or another it’s evident in the data of most every production process. Sure it can be absent in academic settings and similar lab environments

What is Feed-Forward Control?

In a previous post cascade control was introduced as an effective means of limiting the lag between an upset and the associated PID control loop's correction. As practitioners know: The

What Sample Rate is Needed When Tuning PID Controllers?

Practitioners often apply simple guidelines when it comes to data collection requirements and controller tuning. These "rules of thumb" assure that sufficient data resolution exists when a given PID control

What is Model-Predictive Control?

Model-Predictive Control (MPC) is advanced technology that optimizes the control and performance of business-critical production processes. So is Control Loop Performance Monitoring (CLPM) software. But if both help practitioners to
