Control Engineering: Control engineering or Control systems engineering is based on the foundations of feedback theory and linear system analysis, and it integrates the concepts of network theory and communication theory It is the engineering discipline that applies control theory to design systems with predictable behaviors
control system is to identify what can be automated It will help if you have an understanding of basic hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanical operating mechanisms, electronics, control sequences, etc and a solid knowledge of the operation or process that you are going to automate You should understand how to control motion and movement, regulate
Introduction to Control Systems In this lecture, we lead you through a study of the basics of control system After completing the chapter, you should be able to Describe a general process for designing a control system Understand the purpose of control engineering Examine examples of control systems
Examples of control systems used in industry Control theory is a relatively new field in engineering when compared with core topics, such as statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, etc Early examples of control systems were developed actually before the science was fully understood
Convenient (room temperature control, laundry machine) Dangerous (hot/cold places, space, bomb removal) Impossible for human (nanometer scale precision positioning, work inside the small space that human cannot enter) It exists in nature (human body temperature control) Lower cost, high efficiency, etc Many examples of control systems around us
