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 ...

Among all power factor correction (PFC) topologies, totem-pole bridgeless PFC provides the best efficiency; therefore, it is widely used in servers and data centers. However, closing the current ...

Driving a light-emitting diode (LED) or LED array is not without its challenges. The LEDs require a well-designed constant-current source for controlled brightness. More specifically, the output ...

In my previous article on loop tuning, I discussed the importance of field data collection and the importance of a methodical approach to PID tuning. I introduced the concept of the bump test and how ...

At the core of any modern industrial process is a control system guaranteeing precision, stability, and efficiency. Perhaps the most commonly used are PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) ...
