Control System
System, A collection of components which are coordinated
together to perform a function.
Control is the process of causing a system variable to conform
to some desired value.
A control system provides an output or response for a given
input or stimulus
Systems
Definition of Controls revolve around Systems.

Control System Classification
An open-loop control system utilizes an actuating device to control the
process directly without using feedback.

Device
Process
Output
A closed-loop feedback control system uses a measurement of the
output and feedback of the output signal to compare it with the desired
output or reference.

1. Open Loop Control System
In an open loop control system, the input to the plant does
not in any way depend on the current and past values of the
output of the plant.
Relatively simple and consequently low cost with
generally good reliability.
Examples of Open Loop
Motor
Heater /boiler
Cooking Oven
Dish Washer
Washing Machine
Toaster
Water valve system in a pool or sink
Sprinkler System
Example 1 DC Motor Turntable
Open-Loop Control System
Example 2: Missile Launcher System
Open-Loop Control System
Disadvantage of Open Loop
Rely totally in calibration, and cannot effectively deal
with exogenous disturbances.
They can not effectively deal with changes in the
process.
Can not deal with uncertainty.
Can not stabilize an unstable system.
Often in accurate since there is no correction for error.
2. Closed Loop Control System
Closed loop control system make the control system robust
to uncertainty and disturbances.
It senses the output of the system and adjust the control input
using feedback rules, which are based on how the system
output deviates from the system behaves.
The feedback helps compensate for the differences, if the
system behaves slightly differently than the model.
Relatively accurate in matching the actual to the required
values.
More complex, and more expensive, grater chance of
breakdown due to number of components.
Closed Loop
A closed-loop control system is one in which the control action
is somehow dependent on the output.
