Control System
•A control system is a system, which provides the desired
response by controlling the output
•A control system consists of subsystems and processes (or
plants) assembled for the purpose of obtaining a desired
output with desired performance, given a specified input.
Control System
• The performance of a control system is studied/gauged by the
response curve of the system
Important terminologies
System
An arrangement or combination of different physical components that are
connected or related together to form an entire unit to achieve a certain
objective.
Example
Traffic lights system
Water level control
Air conditioner
Car
Airplane
Important terminologies
Control
To regulate, direct and command a system so that a desired
objective is achieved
Important terminologies
Plant/Process
Portion of the system to be controlled. It is fixed as far as the
control system design is concerned. The designer’s job is to
ensure that the plant operates as required

Important terminologies
Input
The input or control input is a quantity that we can adjust
directly. By adjusting the input, we hope to influence the
output in a favorable way

Important terminologies
Output
The output or process output is the quantity we want
to control: we want the output to track the reference value
(the set-point)

Controller
A controller is the most important component of the control
system. It is responsible for the performance of the control
system. It is a device or an algorithm that works to maintain
the value of the controlled variable at set point
In other words, controller’s objective is to eliminate or minimize
the error between reference/input and output values

Disturbances
A disturbance is an uncontrollable input that has an undesired
effect on the desired output of the system. It may be internal
(produced within the system) or external

Types of systems
• Open Loop Control Systems
• Closed Loop Control Systems
Open Loop system
• In open loop control systems, output is not fed-back to the
input. So, the control action is independent of the desired
output
Examples
Fan
Conventional traffic light system
Manual car
Open Loop system
• Unexpected disturbances cannot be handled using an open
loop system
Closed Loop System
In closed loop control systems, output is fed back to the
input. So, the control action is dependent on the desired output.
Examples
Cruise control car
Water level controller
Air conditioner
Closed Loop System
• Disturbance rejection is a trait of a well designed closed loop
control system

loop systems
