Control systems

In a modern control system, electronic intelligence controls some physical process. Control systems are the " automatic" in such things as automatic pilot and automatic washer. Because the machine itself is making the routine decisions, the human operator is freed to do other things. In many cases, machine intelligence is better than direct human control because it can react faster or slower (keep track of long-term slow changes), respond more precisely, and maintain an accurate log of the system's performance. Control systems can be classified in several ways. A regulator system automatically maintains a parameter at (or near) a specified value. An example of this is a home-heating system maintaining a set temperature despite changing outside conditions. A follow-up system causes an output to follow a set path that has been specified in advance. An example is an industrial robot moving parts from place to place. An event control system controls a sequential series of events. An example is a washing machine cycling through a series of programmed steps. Natural control systems have existed since the beginning of life. Consider how the human body regulates temperature. If the body needs to heat itself, food calories are converted to produce heat; on the other hand, evaporation causes cooling. Because evaporation is less effective (especially in humid climates), it is not surprising that our body temperature (98.6º F) was set near the high end of Earth's temperature spectrum (to reduce demand on the cooling system). If temperature sensors in the body notice a drop in temperature, they signal the body to burn more fuel. If the sensors indicate too high a temperature, they signal the body to sweat. Man-made control systems have existed in some form since the time of the ancient Greeks. One interesting device described in the literature is a pool of water that could never be emptied. The pool had a concealed float-ball and valve arrangement similar to a toilet tank mechanism. When the water level lowered, the float dropped and opened a valve that admitted more water. Electrical control systems are a product of the twentieth «century. Electromechanical relays were developed and used for remote control of motors and devices. Relays and switches were also used as simple logic gates to implement some intelligence. Using vacuum-tube technology, significant development in control systems was made during World War II. Dynamic position control systems (servomechanisms) were developed for aircraft applications, gun turrets, and torpedoes. Today, position control systems are used in machine tools, industrial processes, robots, cars, and office machines, to name a few.
Meanwhile, other developments in electronics were having an impact on control system design. Solid-state devices started to replace the power relays in motor control circuits. Transistors and integrated circuit operational amplifiers (IC op-amps) became available for analog controllers. Digital integrated circuits replaced bulky relay logic. Finally, and perhaps most significantly, the microprocessor allowed for the creation of digital controllers that are inexpensive, reliable, able to control complex processes, and adaptable (if the job changes, the controller can be reprogrammed). The subject of control systems is really many subjects: electronics (both analog and digital), power-control devices, sensors, motors, mechanics, and control system theory, which ties together all these concepts.
Every control system has (at least) a controller and an actuator (also called a final control element). Shown in the block diagram in Figure 1.1, the controller is the intelligence of the system and is usually electronic. The input to the controller is called the set point, which is a signal representing the desired system output. The actuator is an electromechanical device that takes the signal from the controller and converts it into some kind of physical action. Examples of typical actuators would be an electric motor, an electrically controlled valve, or a heating element. The last block in Figure 1.1 is labeled process and has an output labeled controlled variable. The process block represents the physical process being affected by the actuator, and the controlled variable is the measurable result of that process. For example, if the actuator is an electric heating element in a furnace, then the process is " heating the furnace, " and the controlled variable is the temperature in the furnace. If the actuator is an electric motor that rotates an antenna, then the process is " rotating of the antenna, " and the controlled variable is the angular position of the antenna.
