The device’s enhanced peripheral functions, including analog and timer capabilities, are ideal for motor control, power supply control, and lighting control.

Key Points: 
  • The device’s enhanced peripheral functions, including analog and timer capabilities, are ideal for motor control, power supply control, and lighting control.
  • In particular, by using the FAA, the device can distribute tasks such as inverter control, encryption, sensing, and arithmetic operations efficiently and independently of the CPU, thus substantially boosting processing speed.
  • “With the FAA capability that comes with the RL78/G24, we were able to divide the communication processing for the CPU and power control as with the FAA.
  • Evaluation kits for motor applications and power/lighting applications are also available, which are ideal for initial evaluation of individual applications.

AACHEN, Germany, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New Elektor Book: Arduino and Raspberry Pi based PID Controllers

Key Points: 
  • AACHEN, Germany, Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- New Elektor Book: Arduino and Raspberry Pi based PID Controllers
    PID controlis the most commonly used control algorithm, used extensively in industrial, process, and commercial applications and has been universally accepted as the easiest and perhaps the best control algorithm, resulting in precision control of a plant.
  • As the name suggests, the PID algorithm consists of three basic coefficients; proportional, integral and derivative which are varied to get an optimal response.
  • The new book, PID-Based Practical Digital Control with Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno , is about using the Raspberry Pi 4 and Arduino Uno in PID-based automatic control applications.
  • Working and fully tested projects are given for controlling real systems using PID controller algorithms.
