Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

Continuing last month’s fundamentals-based theme, I’d like to address the devices that make closed-loop control work. As discussed, control loop algorithms are implemented by software within a BAS ...

Implementing I-P-O into your current projects can be a fast and visual way of understanding workflow. While it can seem ...

Let’s take a look at sensors, actuators and annunciators separately. There are a variety of RFID transponders on the market with integrated temperature, moisture, radiation and motion sensors built ...
