 Control Terminology

Control is a process of
causing a system
variable to conform or to
follow the desired value
or path, known as the
reference value.
Eg:
Traffic controller
Temperature controller
Blood pressure

 Control Terminology

A control system is an interconnection of

components forming a system configuration that
will provide a desired system response.

Control system

Feedforward control system takes the desired output,

combines it with knowledge about system (in this example.
an estimate of mass) to generate control effort (here a
force)

Actuation effort

Idea: use difference

between actual output
