Basic Control Engineering: Fundamentals of Automatic Control Auto 1: Week 2 Day 1 2. Various Automatic Controls

This document discusses different types of automatic controls. It classifies controls based on their methodology, such as feedback and feed-forward controls. Feedback control uses information about the system output to adjust performance to meet the desired output. Optimal control evaluates process variables to achieve the desired outcome. Feed-forward control passes a controlling signal from an external source to a load in the external environment.

Classification of automatic control in terms of control
methodologies
Feedback
• What is feedback?
• Information that tells you how you’re doing
• Automatic controller uses feedback
– Difference between the Process Variable and the Set point (the error) tells
the controller how well it’s doing.
– The less the error, the better the performance
• Open loop control does not use feedback
– Example: timed lawn sprinkler system
• Even if it rains, the sprinkler turns on because it has no feedback that
tells it that the soil already has sufficient moisture
• Closed loop control depends on feedback

Optimal Control
method for evaluating the time varying values of a certain
process variable, which aids in achieving the desired
outcome at the end of the process.

feedback control
Feedback loops take the system output into consideration,
which enables the system to adjust its performance to meet
a desired output response.

feed-forward control
Feed forward, is a term describing an element or pathway
within a control system that passes a controlling signal
from a source in its external environment to a load
elsewhere in its external environment.
