Announcing controlguru.com - a blog about automatic process control

formatting link
offers information and discussion about automatic process control. Much of the focus will be on PID control and related architectures such as cascade, feed forward, Smith predictors, multivariable decoupling, and similar traditional and advanced classical strategies. Occasional exploration into newer technologies such as neural networks, dynamic matrix control and such will depend on member interest. Applications focus on processes with streams comprised of gases, liquids, powders, slurries and melts. Final control elements in these applications tend to be valves, variable speed pumps and compressors, and cooling and heating elements. Industries that operate such processes include chemical, biotech, oil and gas, paints and coatings, pharmaceutical, food and beverages, cement and coal, polymers and plastics, metals and materials, pulp and paper, personal care products, and more. While this narrows the control applications world, it will help facilitate more in-depth discussions. Given that, the site will downplay articles about the control of engines, robots, radar, aircraft, machining and other such applications outside the "gases, liquids, powders, slurries and melts" world.
