Hydraulics and Pneumatics magazine has chosen me to be the ne technical contributor. I will be replacing Jack Johnson that wants to concentrate on modeling hydraulic pumps.
Jack and I were in synch with much of Jack's work. The main difference between us is that Jack came from the view of an educator whereas I have the perspective of having sold over 100,000+ axes of hydraulic control.
This will be interesting for Hydraulics and Pneumatics magazine and me.
I have my biases. I also feel a little trapped between writing articles that the people will understand and yet not giving away too much information about what makes our hydraulic motion controller so successful. (Trade Secrets)
However, by now most of you should have figured out that I am really a control theory guy and hydraulic controls is just a small part of control theory so I will be able to answer common questions about PID control.
What I don't like is not being provided with all the information to make a statement or contribution. In these cases I will remain silent until the required information is provided. I just don't have time to play 20 questions anymore.
