Introduction to Control Systems Basics

Control involves causing machines or processes to function in predetermined ways by energizing and de-energizing outputs or data bits. A controller accepts input signals, like commands and feedback, compares them, and determines the reaction. A control system interconnects components like controllers to provide a desired response. An open loop system lacks feedback comparison, while a closed loop system uses feedback to adjust the controller to match the actual output to the desired setpoint.

Control Engineering

Course 1

What is control?
To cause a machine or process to function
in a predetermined manner
To energize and de-energize an output, or
to set a data table bit or bits to on or off, by
means of a user program

What is a controller?
A circuit that excepts inputs
one input is the action (command signal)
the other one is the measurement signal
(feedback / feedforward)

Compares these inputs and determines


the output reaction
A unit that controls a machine or process

What is a control system?


An interconnection of components forming
a system configuration which will provide a
desired system response

Open loop control system


A control system that has no means of
comparing the output with the input for
control purposes

Open loop control system

Closed loop control system


Uses an additional signal that measures
the actual output with the desired setpoint
which in turn adjusted the controller to
produce the desired output

Closed loop control system
