  2. Control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [12]

  3. Classical control theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_control_theory

    Classical control theory is a branch of control theory that deals with the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how their behavior is modified by feedback, using the Laplace transform as a basic tool to model such systems.

  4. Full state feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_state_feedback

    Full state feedback (FSF), or pole placement, is a method employed in feedback control system theory to place the closed-loop poles of a plant in predetermined locations in the s-plane. [1] Placing poles is desirable because the location of the poles corresponds directly to the eigenvalues of the system, which control the characteristics of the ...

  5. Closed-loop transfer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_transfer_function

    In control theory, a closed-loop transfer function is a mathematical function describing the net result of the effects of a feedback control loop on the input signal to the plant under control. Overview

  6. Closed-loop controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-loop_controller

    The definition of a closed loop control system according to the British Standards Institution is "a control system possessing monitoring feedback, the deviation signal formed as a result of this feedback being used to control the action of a final control element in such a way as to tend to reduce the deviation to zero." [4]

  7. William T. Powers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_T._Powers

    Living control systems differ from those specified by Engineering control theory (a thermostat is a simple example), for which the reference value (setpoint) for control is specified outside the system by what is called the controller, [6] whereas in living systems the reference variable for each feedback control loop in a control hierarchy [7 ...

  8. Minor loop feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_loop_feedback

    Minor loop feedback is a classical method used to design stable robust linear feedback control systems using feedback loops around sub-systems within the overall feedback loop. [1] The method is sometimes called minor loop synthesis in college textbooks, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] some government documents.

  9. Centrifugal governor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_governor

    And, because the governor is a servomechanism, its analysis in a dynamic system is not trivial. In 1868, James Clerk Maxwell wrote a famous paper "On Governors" [6] that is widely considered a classic in feedback control theory. Maxwell distinguishes moderators (a centrifugal brake) and governors which control motive power input.
