Controller Type




   Control Technique       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Limit / Set Point Control
 
     Limit control indicates "set points", or limits, that when reached, send a signal to stop or start a process variable.  This "off-on" or "bang-bang" control is a fairly simple type of control.
 
   Linear Control
 
     Linear control is simply matching a variable input signal with a correspondingly variable control signal.  Signal conditioning, filtering, and amplification may occur to produce the proper output control signal.
 
   Feedforward Control
 
     Direct control compensation from the reference signal. This technique does not require a sensor; it may be open-loop or in conjunction with more advanced PID control.
 
   PID Control
 
     Proportional, Integral, and Derivative (PID) control; requires real-time system feedback.  This is a more sophisticated control that monitors the error between desired variable value and the actual, and adjusts control accordingly (proportional).  The derivative and integral can provide further control refinement by incorporating variables like rate of change of error to tune the control signal.  While sophisticated, PID control needs to be tuned to prevent noisy operation and accurate process control.
 
   Fuzzy Logic
 
     Fuzzy logic is a type of logic in which variables can have imprecise values (as in partial truth) rather than a binary status (completely true or completely false). Information and rules can be inexact and calculations can be made on these imprecise values.
 
   Advanced / Nonlinear Control
 
     Unlisted control algorithm such as neural networking, adaptive gain, or emerging algorithms.
 
   Other
 
     Unlisted or specialized control algorithm or technique.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
   PLC Controller
 
     Controller is a programmable logic controller (PLC).
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   PC-Based Controller
 
     Controller is a circuit board that can be installed directly in a personal computer (PC).
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Multi-Function Controller
 
     Has multiple control modes or functions, which may or may not use different inputs & outputs.  Different parameters or machines may be controlled by the same unit.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Accuracy:
 
     Accuracy signifies the closeness of the data to a specified target value.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
