CONTROL SYSTEMS

(EC 205, 3L + 1T)

Control System: Combination of elements

arranged in a planned manner where each
element causes an effect to get desired
output

Open Loop and Closed Loop

Control System
Open-Loop Control
Systems utilize a
controller or control
actuator to obtain the
desired output.
Closed-Loop Control
Systems utilizes
feedback to compare
the actual output to
the desired output
response.

Examples 1: Direction of Travel

(a) Automobile
steering control
system.
(b) The driver
uses the
difference
between the
actual and the
desired direction
of travel to
generate a
controlled
adjustment of
the steering
wheel.
(c) Typical
direction-oftravel response

Example 2: Turn Table

Examples 3: Level Control
