At the end of February, PICMG (PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group)—the consortium for open hardware specifications—introduced InterEdge, a modular architecture for process control systems ...

I recently surveyed the on-site development of the control system for a large concentrated solar power station. This “first of a kind” facility offered many control challenges, such as balancing heat ...

AI buzz is everywhere. Take a look at how you can begin to prepare for the future of process-control AI by following these ...

ISA recently published the third edition of Basic and Advanced Regulatory Control: System Design and Application by Harold L. Wade, Ph.D., PE. In this Q&A feature, Dr. Wade highlights the focus, ...

Develop a foundation of analytical mechanics and multiphysics modeling. Use individual and team exercises to build skills for a dynamic systems approach. Engineered systems increasingly must exploit ...

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 ...

Safety, reliability, and productivity in the nuclear industry result from a systematic consideration of human performance. A plant or other facility consists of both the engineered system and the ...

With the continued need for shrinking pattern dimensions, semiconductor manufacturers continue to implement more complex patterning techniques, such as advanced multi-patterning, for the 10nm design ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...
