Secondary time constant (secondary lag) (sec) is the second largest time constant in the loop. Hopefully it is in the process but it can be in the automation system. This time constant is defined by ...

The point is that one is aware that time constants often are not constant and that one can compensate with just a little effort, using a motion controller and the right control algorithm. When time ...

Learn how to use MATLAB and Simulink to model and simulate control systems with time delays, and how to perform various analyses and operations on your models.

Discover how to maintain precision in control system maintenance, even with time constraints, in our latest article on control engineering essentials.

Smooth motion is key to precision; Here are some tips on how to get it. Precision-positioning systems used for metrology, inspection, printing, DNA assaying, and laser machining are typified by a ...

An execution time that is too slow can degrade control loop performance. An execution time too fast can unnecessarily increase the loading in the distributed control system (DCS) or programmable logic ...

Time constants are commonly found in electrical circuits and control systems and can be used to characterize their transient behavior. This article will guide you through understanding what a time ...

One important factor in power plant control system performance is the response time of the process measurement used in the control system. The response time of boiler steam temperature sensors and ...

In this paper, we propose the Liquid-Graph Time-constant (LGTC) network, a continuous graph neural network (GNN) model for control of multi-agent systems based on the recent Liquid Time Constant (LTC) ...

Because of large fluctuations and strong randomness of active power generated by renewable energy resources, taking into account the constraints such as battery life cycle, a new battery energy ...

In this case, the time constant is crucial, representing the end of the transient response. The scan time should be a fraction of the time constant, but at least as long as the deadtime. Ed Farmer’s ...
