  2. Step response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Step_response

    The step response of a system in a given initial state consists of the time evolution of its outputs when its control inputs are Heaviside step functions. In electronic engineering and control theory , step response is the time behaviour of the outputs of a general system when its inputs change from zero to one in a very short time.

  3. Circuit breaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_breaker

    The thermal portion of the circuit breaker provides a time-response feature that trips the circuit breaker sooner for larger over-currents but allows smaller overloads to persist for a longer time. This allows short current spikes such as are produced when a motor or other non-resistive load is switched on.

  4. Rise time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_time

    Rise time is an analog parameter of fundamental importance in high speed electronics, since it is a measure of the ability of a circuit to respond to fast input signals. [8] There have been many efforts to reduce the rise times of circuits, generators, and data measuring and transmission equipment.

  5. Transient response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_response

    The impulse response and step response are transient responses to a specific input (an impulse and a step, respectively). In electrical engineering specifically, the transient response is the circuit’s temporary response that will die out with time. [1]

  6. Classical control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_control_theory

    A Physical system can be modeled in the "time domain", where the response of a given system is a function of the various inputs, the previous system values, and time.As time progresses, the state of the system and its response change.

  7. Settling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Settling_time

    The settling time for a second order, underdamped system responding to a step response can be approximated if the damping ratio by = ⁡ () A general form is T s = − ln ⁡ ( tolerance fraction × 1 − ζ 2 ) damping ratio × natural freq {\displaystyle T_{s}=-{\frac {\ln({\text{tolerance fraction}}\times {\sqrt {1-\zeta ^{2}}})}{{\text ...

  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. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

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

    The dead time θ is the amount of time between when the step change occurred and when the output first changed. The time constant (τ p) is the amount of time it takes for the output to reach 63.2% of the new steady-state value after the step change. One downside to using this method is that it can take a while to reach a new steady-state value ...
