One segment of a process control system. An open-loop control process requires human intervention, whereas a closed-loop system is entirely automated (see PID). See process control. THIS ...

Every plant in the process industry most likely has several control loops that do not perform well. Although there are many factors that may negatively affect control loop performance, a few of these ...

In order to design, analyze, or commission a process control system, one must be familiar with the characteristics of the process itself. Although it is highly beneficial for the control engineer to ...

Different programmable logic controllers (PLCs) handle PID control loops in different ways. Some loops need to be set manually, while others can use an autotune process embedded in the PLC's software.

Control loops are said to interact when movement of the final control element of one loop affects not only its own process variable but the process variable of one or more additional control loops as ...
