Basic control systems :
Introduction

System – An interconnection of elements and devices for a desired purpose.

Control System – An interconnection of components forming a system


configuration that will provide a desired response.

Process – The device, plant, or system


under control. The input and output
relationship represents the cause-and-

Introduction
Open-Loop Control Systems
utilize a controller or control
actuator to obtain the desired
response.

Closed-Loop Control
Systems utilizes feedback
to compare the actual
output to the desired output
response.

Multivariable Control System


History

(b) The driver uses the
difference between the
actual and the desired
direction of travel
to generate a
controlled adjustment
of the steering wheel.
(c) Typical direction-
of-travel response.
