We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "PID Control",
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 PAC controller handles complex systems from
SolutionsPT, which we summarised at the time by saying "HardwarePT, a division within SolutionsPT Limited has released it is now marketing and providing full technical support for Advantech's latest generation of PAC controllers - designated
ADAM-5550KW".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Controller handles varied signals from
Eurotherm: "The Mini8 controller has four plug-in I/O slots and can cater for a variety of signals such as thermocouple and RTD inputs and relay, logic and analogue outputs".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Heraeus Noblelight
concerning its Heraeus IR systems
- take a look at IR system improves hoods
which says: "A 42kW fast response medium-wave IR system was installed at Bentley's plant, with 14 independent zones to ensure accurate and reliable control".
Take a look also at the news release from Eurotherm, Controllers improve razor quality,
as well as Hardware and software automate extrusion from Gefran SIEI UK,
and Output module designed for controller from Red Lion Controls.
