closed loop controller

• Process or System: The system or process you want to control, which could be anything from a mechanical system to an electronic circuit or a chemical reaction.
• Sensor (Feedback Element): A sensor or measurement device is used to continuously or periodically monitor the output or state of the system. It provides feedback information to the controller.
• Controller: The controller is responsible for making decisions based on the feedback from the sensor. It calculates the control action needed to achieve and maintain the desired setpoint or reference value.
• Actuator: The actuator is the device or mechanism that receives the control signals from the controller and applies the necessary adjustments to the system.
• Setpoint: The desired or target value that you want the system to achieve or maintain. It is set by the operator or the control system.

• The controller continuously compares the actual output (as measured by the sensor) to the desired setpoint.
• Based on the error between the actual and desired values, the controller calculates a control action that is applied through the actuator to the system.
• The control action is designed to reduce the error and bring the system closer to the setpoint.
• The process repeats in a continuous feedback loop, with the controller making adjustments based on the feedback until the system reaches and maintains the setpoint.

• Improved Accuracy: Closed-loop control systems can provide high accuracy and precision in maintaining the desired setpoint.
• Robustness: They can handle disturbances and external factors that may affect the system's performance.
• Adaptability: Closed-loop systems can adapt to changes in the system's behavior or operating conditions.
• Reduced Steady-State Error: They can reduce or eliminate steady-state errors compared to open-loop control systems.
• Predictive Control: Some advanced closed-loop controllers can predict future system behavior and make proactive adjustments.
