Key Components and Process Flow:

1. Man-Machine Interface (Input):

o The user interacts with the system through the man-machine interface, providing
the desired setpoints or commands.

2. Microcomputer (Control Logic):

o The microcomputer processes the user input and system feedback.

o It generates appropriate control signals using software algorithms (e.g., process


identification, controller synthesis).

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.

7. Sensors and Electronics (Feedback Path):

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:

 The system automatically adjusts its operation using feedback.

 Any disturbances or deviations are detected by sensors and corrected in real time.

 This ensures the system maintains desired performance even under changing conditions.

Examples of Closed-Loop Systems:

 Air conditioning systems (adjusting cooling based on room temperature).

 Cruise control in vehicles (maintaining a constant speed despite road inclines).

 Automated manufacturing systems.
