Control System

A control system manages other devices by using control loops to regulate their behavior. It contains a plant representing the process being controlled, sensors that monitor the plant's state, actuators that move the plant based on sensor readings, and a controller that decides how to adjust the actuators based on the difference between the plant's current state and its desired state.

Control System - manages, commands, directs or regulates the behavior of other

devices or systems using control loops.


Elements of a Control System
 Plant - the process you want to control, i.e., drive to the desired state.
 Sensor - Eye of the control.
– Enables the control to see what is going on.
– Reports on the state of the process
 Actuator
– Moves the process from current state to the desired state.
– If the sensor is the eye, then the actuator is the muscle.
 Controller – Takes the sensor information and decides how to actuate the
plant to achieve the desired state.
