Key Concepts

Control System

A system that manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems.

OpenLoop Control

A control system that operates without feedback and does not adjust outputs based on performance.

ClosedLoop Control

A control system that uses feedback to adjust its outputs to maintain desired performance.

Feedback

The process of using information from the output of a system to make adjustments to the input.

PID Control

A control loop mechanism that uses Proportional, Integral, and Derivative parameters to control a system effectively.

Proportional Component

Part of PID control that adjusts the output proportionally to the current error.

Integral Component

Part of PID control that accumulates past errors to eliminate long-term offset.

Derivative Component

Part of PID control that predicts future errors based on the rate of change of the error.
