Q

Classification of Control Systems

A

Natural Control System, Manmade Control System, Manual Control System, Manual Control System, Automatic Control System, Open-Loop Control System, Closed-Loop Control System, Linear vs Nonlinear Control System, Time invariant vs Time Variant, Continuous Data vs Discrete Data System, Deterministic vs Stochastic Control System

19
Q

A control system in which output varies linearly with the input

A

Linear Control System

20
Q

When the characteristics of the system do not depend upon time itself

A

Time invariant control system

21
Q

It is a system in which one or more parameters vary with time

A

Time varying control system

22
Q

All system variables are function of a continuous time t

A

Continuous data control system

23
Q

It involves one or more variables that are known only at discrete time intervals

A

Discrete time control system

24
Q

A control system is ____ if the response to input is predictable and repeatable

A

Deterministic Control System

25
Q

Any physical system which does not automatically correct for variation in its output

A

Open-loop control system

26
Q

In this system, output is dependent on input but controlling action or input is totally independent of the output or changes in output of the system.

A

Open-loop control system

27
Q

A system that maintains a prescribed relationship between the output and the reference input by comparing them and using the difference as a means of control is called a

A

Feedback control system

28
Q

The part of output, which is to be decided by feedback element is fed back to the reference input. The signal which is output of feedback element is called ___

A

feedback signal

29
Q

The deviation of the actual output from its desired value is called an ____

A

error

30
Q

It is an element which accepts the error in some form and decides the proper corrective action

A

Controller

31
Q

It is the heart of the control system. The accuracy of the entire system depends on how sensitive it is to the error detected and how it is manipulating such an error.

A

Controller

32
Q

Classification of Industrial Controllers

A

Two-position or on-off controllers, Proportional Controllers, Integral Controllers, Proportional-plus-integral controllers, proportional-plus-derivative controllers, proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative controllers

33
Q

The most elementary controller mode

A

Two-position or on-off controller mode

34
Q

In this control mode, the output of the controller is simple proportional to the error

A

Proportional controller

35
Q

A control mode used in control systems which is based on the history of the errors

A

Integral controllers

36
Q

The controller produces a control action that is proportional to the rate at which the error is changing

A

Derivative controller

37
Q

This is a composit control mode obtained by combining the proportional mode and the integral mode

A

Proportional + Integral controller

38
Q

The series combination of proportional and derivative control mode
