A Message from the President:

The whole world, not just ISA Will DuPage, has been working through this Covid Lockdown. We have been unable to conduct live, in-person events since our Table-Top Show in March of 2020. We were able to get this show in ‘just-under-the-wire’.

Since then, we have been conducting live Section Meetings, virtually. If you think this is an inconvenience, or a pain, then you don’t need to complain to me…I am in total agreement with you. I am a big fan of discussing technical topics over a beer or two. I am eagerly awaiting the day when we can do this again.

Our virtual, technical meetings are the best we can do and have been well attended. We are announcing these meetings on our website. Please keep an eye on this site as we’ve got some interesting topics coming up after Christmas.

I will be glad to answer any specific questions you may have. Feel free to contact me at your
convenience.

Loop tuning basics: Integrating processes

Jun 3, 2016

The two most common categories of process responses in industrial manufacturing processes are self-regulating and integrating. A self-regulating process response to a step input change is characterized by a change of the process variable, which moves to and stabilizes (or self-regulates) at a new value.

What Our Members Are Saying
I value the network of professional contacts that I’ve developed through ISA. If there is a subject matter of which I need to know more about, either someone that I know is an SME on that topic, or someone that I know knows an SME on that topic. It’s an advantage for one’s career in many ways. I’ve also made friends through ISA volunteer work whom I know I can trust if I ever find myself in a position of being their customer at some point, and that’s a reassuring position to be in.

The ISA Will-DuPage Tabletop Show is a valuable event that provides terrific hands-on experiences with innovative technology. Although I live a few hours away, the drive is well worth it.

Attending ISA tabletop every year is a necessary experience for every automation professional, not only to keep up-to-date with cutting-edge solutions but also to network with colleagues in order to share experiences and find solutions quickly and enjoyably.

Sr. Electrical Engineer, Miniat

I am fascinated with the industry of automation whether it be food & beverage, robotics, oil & gas, water/wastewater, building automation, and others. ISA gives me an opportunity to network with workers in those fields and learn more about their industry. I believe in continuing education which the ISA monthly Technical Meetings are a good way to stay current in the industry. Lastly, the yearly golf outing is a great way to go out with like minded people and have some fun.
Eric Brand

Automation Controls Engineer, DuPage County PW

I look forward to attending the monthly technical presentations to gain knowledge on the most current automation practices, as well as networking with my peers in a fun setting.
