A fitting definition of a modern performance car might just be one that has superior control over every system. EFI offers outstanding digital mastery over fuel and spark and it could be said that ...

Over the years, control relays of various types have been used by the hundreds — even thousands — to control nearly every function in commercial and industrial processes. Today, many of those ...

For the lowest power consumption, MCUs are still preferred, and for high performance, MPUs are dominant. But that’s changing.

Two Drexel Engineering professors have authored a textbook that will acquaint students with the basic tenets of control systems. A control system is a system that controls or regulates the behavior of ...

Back in the “good old days,” controls were all analog and mechanical, which simply means that they acted in a directly connected and variable manner based on a change in force. Both pneumatic (air ...

Most engineers are quite familiar with typical low-power-indicator LEDs, whether they be surface-mount or the classical through-hole packages. All that's needed to use them is a voltage source and a ...

Electromechanical actuators are mechanical actuators where the control knob or handle has been replaced by an electric motor. The rotary motion of the motor is converted into linear displacement. The ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

In this article learn about options for measuring current in motor control applications, the strengths and challenges of these options, and how using precision current measurement can optimize the ...

Standpipes are a critical tool that require preplanning on first responding apparatus in order to be used effectively. The initial approval process for these systems is critical and the fire ...

At the Veeva Commercial Summit in Spain, Veeva Systems announced that more than 100 biotechs at over 60 companies have adopted its Veeva Basics solution, with two new applications, Veeva LIMS Basics ...
