Lecture 1 : Introduction

Control system an interconnection of components forming a system configuration that will provide a desired system response. - consists of subsystems and processes (or plants) put together in order to control the outputs.

Examples iron, aircraft, car, body system (pancreas- regulates blood sugar) Represented by block diagram Example: Water level control system operates by sensing the difference between the desired level setting and the actual water level. (Closed loop block diagram )

Lecture 1 Introduction

Open loop utilizes an actuating device to control the process directly without using feedback. Closed-loop system uses measurement of the output and feedback of this signal to compare it with the desired output

Chapter 1 Introduction
Closed-Loop System Have feedback path Output response: greater accuracy Less sensitive to noise, disturbances and changes in the environment Open-Loop System No feedback path Output response: not accurate Sensitive to noise, disturbances and changes in the environment

System can compare the output Cannot correct the disturbances response with the input and make a correction if there is any difference
Complex and expensive Example: washing machine(water level control), air conditioning with temperature control Simple and inexpensive Example:Toaster,washing machine(washing process) .
