Self-regulating systems with feedback loops, i.e., the routing back of the output of a system to its input, have existed since antiquity and have since become an integral part of modern technology.

More engineers are turning to reinforcement learning to incorporate adaptive and self-tuning control into industrial systems. It aims to strike a balance between traditional ...

Previous chapters have brought us to the point where, given a system design, we can look at it every which way, analyze and specify its performance, and communicate its structure and behavior. This ...

Consider the features and typical applications for industrial controllers to understand what type of controller fits each application. Do you need a programmable logic controller (PLC), programmable ...
