In the previous article, I showed how to compensate simple first-order systems. As a quick recap, a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is all that is needed for compensating first-order systems ...

A second-order system is one which can be described by a second-order differential equation. The files listed below are a combination of PDF tutorial documents, MATLAB Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) ...

Controlling hydraulic motion with precision involves understanding the fundamental difference between servo motors and hydraulic actuators. Electric motors generally respond linearly to control inputs ...

The control systems world is changing. Historically, process control systems—which include all industrial control, process control, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), distributed ...
