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.

On/off control:

  • The on/off control makes use of a feedback controller which switches abruptly between two states.
  • It is used to keep the final control element in the system in either on or off state.
  • A simple bi-metallic domestic thermostat can be related as an on-off controller.

ZAIN ID A traffic light is installed at a junction of a railroad and a road of cars. The traffic light is controlled by two switches in the rail placed one mile apart on either side of the junction. A switch is turned on when the train is over it and is turned off otherwise. When the beginning of the train is one mile from the junction, the traffic light is changed from green (logic "O") to red (logic "1"). The light is changed back to green when the end of the train is one mile away from the junction and S1 is turned off. Assume that the length of the train is less than two miles. The circuit diagram of the aforementioned state machine includes . SR-flip flop(s). * Imile 1mile
