This document provides definitions and examples related to control systems. It defines a control system as an arrangement of physical elements connected to regulate or command itself to achieve a desired objective. A system is defined as a combination of components forming a unit to achieve a goal, while control means to regulate a system. The key components of a control system are identified as the input, plant or process, controller, feedback, and output. Examples of control systems like a fan with a regulator are provided to distinguish systems from control systems. A block diagram is also included to illustrate the forward and feedback paths in a closed-loop control system.

3. “SYSTEM”
A system is an arrangement of or a combination
of different physical components connected or
related in such a manner so as to form an entire
unit to attain a certain objective.

4. CONTROL
It means to regulate, direct or command a system so
that the desired objective is attained.
Combining above definitions
System + Control = Control System

5. CONTROL SYSTEM

It is an arrangement of different physical elements
connected in such a manner so as to regulate, direct or
command itself to achieve a certain objective. OR
The control system is that by which any quantity of interest
in a machine, mechanism, or other equipment is maintained
or changed in accordance with a desired manner.

The stimulus, applied signal or excitation applied
to a control system from an external source in
order to produce the output is called input

A Fan without blades cannot be a “SYSTEM”
Because it cannot provide a desired/proper output
i.e. airflow

11. A FAN: CAN BE A
SYSTEM

A Fan with blades but without regulator can be a “SYSTEM”
Because it can provide a proper output i.e. airflow
But it cannot be a “Control System” Because it cannot
provide desired output i.e. controlled airflow

Plant:
The portion of the system to be controlled or regulated is
called the plant or process. OR
A set of machines parts functioning together to
perform a particular operation is known as a plant.
Process:
A process is to be natural, an artificial or voluntary,
progressively continuing operations that consist of
series of controlled actions or movement
systematically directed towards a particular result.
eg. Chemical, biological, economical process

Controller:
The element of the system itself or external to the system
which control the plant or process is called controller.
Disturbance:
Disturbance is a signal which tends to adversely
affect the value of the output of a syste. If such
disturbance is generated within the system itself, it is
called internal disturbance. If disturbance generated
outside the system acting as an extra input to the
system in addition to its normal input, then it is called
as external disturbance.

Feedback control:
Feedback control is an operation which, in the
presence of disturbances, tend to reduce the
difference between output of the system and the
reference input. Only unpredictable disturbances are
to be designed, since for predictable/known
disturbances, it is always possible to include
compensation within the system, so that measurement
is not necessary. Thus,
A feedback control system is one which tend to
maintain a prescribed relationship between the output
and the reference input by comparing these and using16
