Equipment Control using Embedded Internet

1 May, 2008 (17:25) | Process Control | No comments

I will give a simple example for the purpose of understanding and assimilation of the concept.
Consider the Toaster shown in the right, Build a Embedded Internet Interface into the toaster. Then make it Wireless Networking capable. The gadget can also get connected thru Mains Carrier Communication.
Now you build a Webware service, create API’s, Ready [...]

Moving beyond PID
Tuning a Proportional Controller
Tuning a PI Controller

Reading the excellent articles above, i was reminded of an incident….Proportional Controllers not only save energy, they can give a controlled finish or treatment to a job. An on-off controller or thermostat limit protection has to be used in series, this is to [...]

Future of Industrial Automation and Process Control

30 August, 2007 (14:01) | Process Control | No comments

Automation and Control is the predecessor of Robotics. A Jump Start, Practical and standard reference for Process Control is at at Omega Technical Reference.A Control system is made of Sensors sending acquired data to a Controller which operates Actuators to manage the process in Real Time. Starting from a Bimetal Thermostat to a SCADA, the [...]

Electronic Sensor Circuits and Projects

12 January, 2007 (18:47) | Process Control | No comments

Electronic Sensor Circuits and Projects By Forrest M., III Mims Electronic sensor circuits convert light, temperature, sound, and other signals into a form that can be processed by electronic circuits. Learn about solar cells, photoresistors, thermistors, and magnet switches. Then build circuits that respond to heat, pressure, light, and more. This Engineer’s Mini Notebook [...]

RTD PT100 Transmitter

10 November, 2006 (23:23) | Process Control | No comments

This is a RTD Pt-100 Transmitter, It can Convert Thermocouple mV or RTD mV to 4-20 mA Current Transmitter. The part numbers on Circuit and silk screen may not match. But the PCB may be usable. The output is a current source and not a current sink. It goes to a 4-20mA Mux with a [...]
