Abstract

The basic principle of control is very simple; move the system such that it minimises some error function. A brief theoretical introduction to control system is presented for understanding the controller design in this chapter. Different control schemes such as open-loop and closed-loop control strategies are discussed. Application of open-loop control strategy is limited. The problems of closed-loop control strategies are associated with measurement of the control variables and based on the measurement using suitable sensor mechanism, collocated an non-collocated control approaches have been suggested depending on the accuracy of the available models.
