Industrial control systems can be categorized in two types: open-loop and closed-loop systems. The open-loop control system is a continuous control system that provides no feedback from its output.

In part because they are closed-loop systems, it can be easy to ignore power plant cooling water systems that support the reliable functioning of everything from stator bars in the generator to ...

Adding automation to a closed-loop circulating system improves information and management capabilities that contribute to greater safety and efficiency in drilling operations. Adding automation to a ...
