CONTROL ENGINEERING LAB REPORT

Theoretical Background:
Control Systems:
Controls engineering is a branch of engineering that focuses on designing, implementing, and
maintaining systems to control and regulate the behavior of machines, processes, or systems. It
involves the use of various techniques and technologies, such as sensors, actuators, and control
algorithms, to ensure that a system operates efficiently, safely, and in accordance with desired
specifications.
There are four primary uses for control systems:
• Power Intensification
• Controller
• Comfort of information structure
• Pay for aggravations
The key components of control systems are:
1. System:
A control system is a specialized engineering system designed to manage and regulate the
behavior or output of another system or process. It consists of various components and
mechanisms that work together to maintain desired performance.
2. Controllers:
A controller is a device or software component that is responsible for making decisions
and generating control signals to regulate the behavior of a system or process.
3. Sensors:
Sensors are devices or components that detect and measure physical properties or
conditions in the surrounding environment or a system. They convert these measurements
into electrical signals or other forms of data that can be easily processed and used for
various purposes.
4. Actuators:
Actuators are devices or components within a system that are responsible for converting
control signals or electrical input into physical action or movement.
5. Feedback:
Control Engineering Lab

Feedback, in the context of control systems and engineering, refers to the process of
collecting information about the output or performance of a system or process and then
using that information to make adjustments or corrections to maintain or achieve a
desired state or setpoint.
6. Reference Signal:
A reference signal, often referred to simply as a "reference" or "setpoint," is a specific
value or signal that represents the desired or target state or condition that a control system
or process aims to achieve or maintain.

Types of Control Systems:


The following are the types of control systems:
1. Open Loop Control System
2. Closed Loop Control System

Open Loop Control System:


An open-loop control system, also known as a non-feedback control system, is a type of
control system where the control action is predetermined or fixed without relying on
feedback information about the system's output or performance

Closed Loop Control System:


A closed-loop control system, also known as a feedback control system, is a type of
control system in which the control action is continually adjusted based on feedback
information about the system's output or performance.
