Chapter 14, Problem 11RQ
Program Plan Intro
Control systems:
- A control system refers to a system that is capable of managing, commanding, directing, or regulating the behavior of other machines or devices.
- Generally, a feedback controller is used for controlling a process or operation automatically.
- It has a wide range of applications including home heating controller, industrial control systems and many such.
Proportional control:
- Proportional control refers to a linear feedback control system.
- It is used to keep the final control element in intermediate positions between the on-off controls.
- It is more complex than an on-off control system.
- Examples of proportional controller include toilet bowl float proportional value and fly-ball governor.
