10. Implement Basic Control Laws in Practical Applications
Control laws are essential mathematical equations or algorithms that regulate system behavior in engineering applications. The chapter discusses the fundamental types of control laws, including Proportional, Integral, Derivative, and PID controls, along with their implementations and applications across various fields. Important practical considerations for effectively utilizing these control laws are also explored.

What we have learnt
- Control laws regulate system behavior through mathematical equations or algorithms.
- Proportional control addresses immediate errors but cannot eliminate steady-state error.
- Integral control eliminates steady-state error while considering past errors.
- Derivative control minimizes overshoot by predicting future errors.
- PID control integrates all three actions for robust performance across diverse applications.
Key Concepts
- -- Proportional Control (P)
- A control method that adjusts control input based on the current proportional error.
- -- Integral Control (I)
- A control method that accumulates past errors to eliminate steady-state error.
- -- Derivative Control (D)
- A control method that predicts future error based on the rate of change of error.
- -- PID Control
- A combined control method that uses Proportional, Integral, and Derivative control laws for optimal control.
