0.1 Examples of control systems
➢ What is a control system?
▪ Control is a process of getting information, processing information, and
acting on the system so that the system responds as desired.

0.3 Open-loop and closed-loop control systems
➢ Controllers
1. Two-position or on–off controllers
➢ The number of on-off switching per minute can reduce the useful life of the component.

0.2 Open-loop and closed-loop control systems
➢ Sensors
❖ The devices that convert the output variable into another suitable variable
❖ Used to compare the output to the reference input signal.
❖ The set point must be converted to a reference input with the same units as the
feedback signal from the sensor or measuring element.
▪ Temperature sensors
▪ Position sensors
▪ Velocity sensors
▪ Distant sensors
▪ Level sensors
▪ Pressure sensors,…
