We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital Controllers",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Cutting the cost of digital temperature control from
Under Control Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Low-cost digital controllers can be used as replacements for normal capillary thermostats".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Slim motor offers high acceleration from
Copley Controls Corp: "Copley Motion Systems' STB11 motors provide ten times the speed and ten times the life of ballscrew actuators".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Copley Controls Corp
concerning its STB11 linear motor
- take a look at Linear motor offers superior control stiffness
which says: "STB11's combination of simplicity, reliability and dynamic performance enable fast-response digital servos to replace complex, wear-prone electromechanical assemblies".
Take a look also at the news release from Copley Controls Corp, Slim actuator delivers superior force,
as well as Digital controllers offer simple setup from Macro Sensors,
and Valves automate sand filtration system from Waters Equipment.
