  2. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional–integral...

    A block diagram of a PID controller in a feedback loop. r(t) is the desired process variable (PV) or setpoint (SP), and y(t) is the measured PV. The distinguishing feature of the PID controller is the ability to use the three control terms of proportional, integral and derivative influence on the controller output to apply accurate and optimal ...

  3. Closed-loop controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_controller

    A block diagram of a PID controller in a feedback loop, r(t) is the desired process value or "set point", and y(t) is the measured process value. A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller) is a control loop feedback mechanism control technique widely used in control systems.

  4. Linear control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_control

    On control systems involving motion control of a heavy item like a gun or camera on a moving vehicle, the derivative action of a well-tuned PID controller can allow it to reach and maintain a setpoint better than most skilled human operators. If a derivative action is over-applied, it can, however, lead to oscillations.

  5. Classical control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_control_theory

    This is shown in the block diagram below. This kind of controller is a closed-loop controller or feedback controller. ... PID controllers are the most well ...

  6. Proportional control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_control

    The proportional control concept is more complex than an on–off control system such as a bi-metallic domestic thermostat, but simpler than a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control system used in something like an automobile cruise control. On–off control will work where the overall system has a relatively long response time, but ...

  7. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    Together with PID controllers, MPC systems are the most widely used control technique in process control. Robust control deals explicitly with uncertainty in its approach to controller design. Controllers designed using robust control methods tend to be able to cope with small differences between the true system and the nominal model used for ...

  8. Control loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_loop

    A control loop is the fundamental building block of control systems in general and industrial control systems in particular. It consists of the process sensor, the controller function, and the final control element (FCE) which controls the process necessary to automatically adjust the value of a measured process variable (PV) to equal the value of a desired set-point (SP).

  9. Distributed control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_control_system

    A typical application is a PID controller fed by a flow meter and using a control valve as the final control element. The DCS sends the setpoint required by the process to the controller which instructs a valve to operate so that the process reaches and stays at the desired setpoint. (see 4–20 mA schematic for example).
