The Positioning of Control Valves in Digital Control Systems

The Positioning of Control Valves in Digital Control Systems

The history of valve positioning systems on process control loops is reviewed. The advent of single loop micro-processor based controllers makes possible an improved functional layout for such systems, which has previously found application on direct digital control systems. If this new layout shoul...
