This reference design describes a cost-effective, low-power liquid-level measurement data acquisition system (DAS) that use a compensated silicon pressure sensor and a high-precision delta-sigma ADC.

Hydrostatic pressure produced by the water column at the bottom of the controlled liquid reservoir uses the trapped air in the measurement tube to produce the same amount of pressure on the sensor. At ...

One producer tamed a difficult level control task, improving test separator performance. Anyone who has ever worked in the Canadian Athabasca oil sands production fields knows that the term “tar sands ...

On my first project as a combustion control engineer, I was responsible for loop checks and for watching the experts tune the system controls. The first loop I tried to tune solo was the drum level ...

Control systems play a major role in how industrial operations manage costs and long-term performance. By regulating important variables like flow rates, pressure, temperature, and inputs, the right ...

Industrial simulation and emulation are powerful but still underemployed techniques for designing, developing, and testing better automation solutions and machines. When used as a central part of a ...
