Introduction You may have noticed that when a constant load is placed on a weighing system, the reading slowly drifts over time—even though nothing changes physically. This is not a failure or signal instability.It’s called load cell creep—a natural behavior of strain-based transducers. In this article, we explain what creep is, what causes it, how […]

In modern industrial systems, Distributed Control Systems (DCS) are widely used to monitor and control motor operation in real-time. One common issue that often arises during operation is a mismatch between the DCS feedback current and the actual motor current. This discrepancy, if not addressed properly, may result in control errors, false alarms, or even
