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 ...

Levels change slowly in tanks that are usually geographically dispersed, making them ideal candidates for wireless sensor networks with minimal impact on control performance. Digital and wireless ...

PID loops are a central component of modulating boiler control systems with applications ranging from basic steam header pressure control to cascading 3-element drum level control. A modern ...

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 ...

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 ...
