Override and Reset Feedback

Override controllers are for safety or switching to auxiliary variables.  The non-selected controller needs to prevent becoming wound up.

Pole Placement for the Inverted Pendulum on a Cart [Control Bootcamp]

Here we use the 'place' command in Matlab to design full-state feedback gains to specify the eigenvalues of the closed-loop system. This is demonstrated on the inverted pendulum on a cart.

Interpreting Lines on PFDs and P&IDs

Lines on a process flow diagram (PFD) indicate material flow.  In contrast, on a piping and instrument diagram (P&ID), the control overlay for the PFD, the lines represent information flow. ...
