Closed Loop Control
Closed Loop Control
o The user interacts with the system through the man-machine interface, providing
the desired setpoints or commands.
3. Power Electronics:
o The control signals from the microcomputer are sent to power electronics, which
amplify and adjust them to drive the actuator.
4. Energy Converter:
o The energy from the power electronics is converted into a form (e.g., mechanical or
thermal energy) that can be used by the actuator.
5. Actuator:
o The actuator performs the physical actions needed to influence the process (e.g.,
mechanical movement, chemical reaction).
6. Process:
o The actuator drives the process, which outputs energy, matter, or information. This
process's performance is measured to ensure it aligns with the desired setpoints.
o Basis Sensor: Measures specific parameters of the process (e.g., temperature, speed,
position).
o Signal Electronics: Converts the sensor data into a usable electrical signal.
o Sensor & Electronics: These components refine the data and send it back to the
microcomputer as feedback.
8. Feedback Loop:
o The feedback loop continuously measures the actual performance of the process.
o The microcomputer compares the feedback data with the desired setpoint and
adjusts the control signals accordingly to minimize error.
Closed-Loop Control Characteristics:
Any disturbances or deviations are detected by sensors and corrected in real time.
This ensures the system maintains desired performance even under changing conditions.
