  2. Block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_diagram

    As it is there is use made in systems biology of the block diagram technique harnessed by control engineering [7] where the latter is itself an application of control theory. An example of this is the function block diagram , one of five programming languages defined in part 3 of the IEC 61131 (see IEC 61131-3 ) standard that is highly ...

  3. Functional block diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_block_diagram

    A functional block diagram, in systems engineering and software engineering, is a block diagram that describes the functions and interrelationships of a system. The functional block diagram can picture: [1] functions of a system pictured by blocks; input and output elements of a block pictured with lines; the relationships between the functions ...

  4. 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).

    An active or passive element of an electronic circuit. electronic control unit In an automobile, an embedded electronic system that controls some aspect of a vehicle (ignition, transmission, and so on). electronic design automation A system in which a computer provides assistance to the designer of a device or system. electronic engineering

  6. Proportional–integral–derivative controller - Wikipedia

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

    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 control. The block diagram on the right shows the principles of how these terms are generated and applied.

  7. Sensitivity (control systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitivity_(control_systems)

    Block diagram of a control system with disturbance. The sensitivity function also describes the transfer function from external disturbance to process output. In fact, assuming an additive disturbance n after the output of the plant, the transfer functions of the closed loop system are given by

  8. Circuit design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_design

    The process usually begins with the conversion of the specification into a block diagram of the various functions that the circuit must perform, at this stage the contents of each block are not considered, only what each block must do, this is sometimes referred to as a "black box" design. This approach allows the possibly highly complex task ...

  9. Intelligent electronic device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_electronic_device

    In the electric power industry, an intelligent electronic device (IED) is an integrated microprocessor-based controller of power system equipment, such as circuit breakers, transformers and capacitor banks.
