In this article, as in industry, advanced process control (APC) refers primarily to multi-variable control. Multivariable control means adjusting multiple single-loop controllers in unison, to meet ...

The process control and instrumentation minor emphasizes developing skills and knowledge in theory, software and in the field. Students graduate ready to solve complex control problems in the chemical ...

Successful manufacturing is inextricably linked to process control. If processes are not controlled, the eventual output may not fall within the required parameters. Using baking as an example, when ...

Reinforcement learning (RL) represents a paradigm shift in process control, offering adaptive and data‐driven strategies for the management and optimisation of complex industrial processes. By ...

In process automation, an alarm is defined as an audible and/or visible means of indicating to the operator an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring an operator ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Consider the features and typical applications for industrial controllers to understand what type of controller fits each application. Do you need a programmable logic controller (PLC), programmable ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

Few would argue that LEDs today are ubiquitous devices. For many years, however, LEDs were little more than indicator lights. They were predominantly red, although green and yellow versions later ...
