BASIC DEFINITIONS System: An arrangement or a combination of different physical components which are connected or related to one another to form an entire unit to achieve a certain objective is called a system. A kite is an example of a physical system, because it is made up of paper and sticks. A classroom is an example of physical system. Control: The meaning of control is to regulate, direct or command a system so that the desired objective is achieved. Plant: It is defined as the portion of a system which is to be controlled or regulated. Controller: It is the element of the system itself, or external to the system, and it controls the plant or the process. Input: The applied signal or the excitation signal that is applied to a control system to get a specified output is called input. Output: The actual response that is obtained from a control system after the application of input, is termed as output. Disturbances: The signal that has adverse effect to the value of the output of a system is called disturbance. If a disturbance is produced within the system, it is termed as an internal disturbance.Otherwise, it is known as an external disturbance. Control systems: It is an amalgamation of different physical elements linked in such a manner that it can regulate, direct or command itself to obtain a certain objective. A control system must have (1) input, (2) output, (3) ways to achieve input and output objectives, and (4) control action Figure (a) shows the cause-and-effect relationship between the input and output. Figure (a) Cause-and-effect relationship between the input and output of a plant. | |
