The system generally includes a crosspoint switch in the local data collection system having multiple inputs and multiple outputs including a first input connected to the first sensor and a second input connected to the second sensor. The multiple outputs include a first output and a second output configured to be switchable between a condition in which the first output is configured to switch between delivery of the first sensor signal and the second sensor signal and a condition in which there is simultaneous delivery of the first sensor signal from the first output and the second sensor signal from the second output. Each of multiple inputs is configured to be individually assigned to any of the multiple outputs. Unassigned outputs are configured to be switched off producing a high-impedance state. The local data collection system includes multiple data acquisition units each having an onboard card set configured to store calibration information and maintenance history of a data acquisition unit in which the onboard card set is located. The local data collection system is configured to manage data collection bands.

A system includes a processing device configured to determine a tripping operation to be undertaken. The processing device is configured to also calculate a variable tripping speed for the tripping operation to vary a speed of the tripping operation. The processing device is further generate an output to control the operation of a portion of a continuous tripping system to implement the tripping operation at the variable tripping speed.

The proposed aircraft engine control system includes at least one servo-loop, and at least one state feedback control integrated into the servo-loop. The state feedback control includes a static compensator (M) and a state corrector loop (L) which are parametrized so as to decouple the states constituted by the operating parameters of the engine to be servo-controlled. The mono-variable regulators are then in turn parameterized so as to servo-control the operating parameters on the setpoints.

A controller and related system and method for controlling a choke for choking fluid flow are configured to take into account non-linear behaviors of the choke, to allow more accurate and effective control of the choke. To obtain a desired pressure drop across a choke valve, the controller is configured to monitor the position of a choke actuator coupled to the choke valve and the pressure at the inlet of the choke valve. The controller calculates an adaptive proportional gain coefficient, and optionally adaptive integral and derivative coefficients, based on the choke actuator position, to help mitigate the effects of non-linear behaviors of the choke and, where necessary, based on the inlet pressure, the controller calculates an augmentation correction to address any instability in the choke. The controller then commands the choke actuator accordingly to adjust the flow area through the choke valve.
