Adaptive Control System
The control systems in which the system parameters are automatically adjusted to keep the
system at an optimum level are called adaptive control systems. Such type of control
systems itself detects changes in the plant parameters and make essential adjustments in the
controller parameters to maintain optimum level or performance.
Process Control System
It is an automatic regulating system (feedback control system) in which the output is a
variable (physical parameters) such as temperature, pressure, pH value, flow, liquid level
and so on. It is widely used in different industries like paper, sugar, petrochemical, rubber
and so on.

TRANSFER FUNCTION
• The transfer function of a linear time-invariant system is defined as the ratio of
Laplace transform of the output variable to Laplace transform of the input variable
under the assumption that all the initial conditions are zero. The concept of the
transfer function is limited to linear, time-invariant, differential equations systems. It
is widely used in designing and analysis of such systems.
I. Let G(s) is the transfer function of single-input single-output system with input
r(t) and controlled output c(t).
II. Consider an nth order differential equation for input-output relation of linear
time-invariant system.
• To obtain transfer function of any equation, take Laplace transforms on both sides
and assume all initial conditions as zero.
