This tutorial shows how digital controllers can be created from ananalog (or continuous) model. This is especially useful when aprocessor is used to control an analog system. Many methods areavailable ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Nuclear power plants generate 20% of the nation’s electricity and are the largest clean energy source in the U.S. But to further offset climate change, the nuclear energy sector ...

A digital-control system generally includes a set of system-response specifications (a transfer function), a controlled process, a computational element (CPU), sensors to measure the system's variable ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has approved a license amendment request from Duke Energy Carolinas to replace the analog controls at one of its nuclear power plants with a digital system. The ...

The concept of upgrading systems in nuclear power plants to digital is not new. In the early 1980s, some manufacturers of instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment were already converting to digital ...
