Introduction
control, control system
control industrial processes, process
control
what is the objective of control ?
if we don't need to control any processes, do
we need sensor ?
what is the different between sensor and
transducer ?

in living organism, the logic of control
system is to maintain temperature, fluid
flow rate, energy, etc.
in industry, the logic of controlling a system
is to achieve production rate, quality,
quantity, positional accuracy, temperature,
humidity, ...etc.

objective of control system
error is zero (this is never been achieved)
The system should be stable (stability criteria)
The system should provide the best possible
steady-state regulation
The system should provide the best possible
transient regulation

Accuracy
the maximum overall error to be expected from
a device
it can also mean as uncertainty of any value
being measured
System Accuracy
apply to overall elements in the system

Sensitivity
a change of output of an instrument (or a
sensor) for a change of input
usually indicated by transfer-function, such as
5 mV/C
Sensitivity can not stand alone, add with
linearity
range
accuracy

sensors/measuring
elements, or system

Resolution
percentage of full scale range
how many division of a unit scale ( the smallest
scale )
Linearity
linear relationship between input to output
express in a straight line equation
the deviation of a value from the best straight
line expression (called %FS)
