Top Control Engineering<\/a> <\/em>articles this week covered topics including PLC programming languages, Engineering Leaders Under 40 winners and closed loop tuning.<\/p>\n

1. Do you know what PLC programming language to use?<\/a><\/h2>\n

Next-generation PLC programming tips and benefits are available in this article and from the instructors of a detailed one-hour Sept. 10 webcast, archived for a year.<\/p>\n

2. Rising to the Challenge: Engineering Leaders Under 40, Class of 2024<\/a><\/h2>\n

Discover how these 35 engineering professionals are making a significant impact in automation, controls, and beyond.<\/p>\n

3. PID spotlight, part 8: Closed-loop tuning for self-limiting processes<\/a><\/h2>\n

Closed-loop tuning can be used to tune a PID loop. How is it done? What data do I collect? What calculations are required? How well will it work? What problems might I run into? See \u201cHow to execute a closed-loop test in four steps\u201d and two warnings.<\/p>\n

4. PID spotlight, part 7: Open-loop tuning of a self-limiting process<\/a><\/h2>\n

Tuning a new PID controller begins with an open loop step test. What are the steps? What data do I collect? What calculations are required? How well will it work? What problems might I run into? Also see three tips and two limits.<\/p>\n

5. Generative AI benefits for asset lifecycle management<\/a><\/h2>\n

Generative AI is driving rapid improvements in asset lifecycle management, building on previous AI enhancements and unlocking new possibilities for operational efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
