In most cases, control engineers utilize feedback when designing control systems
This is often accomplished using a PID controller system
For example, in an automobile with cruise control the vehicle's speed is continuously monitored and fed back to the system, which adjusts the motor's torque accordingly
What is control systems engineering?
Control engineering or control systems engineering is an engineering discipline that applies automatic control theory to design systems with desired behaviors in control environments
The discipline of controls overlaps and is usually taught along with electrical engineering at many institutions around the world
Who is automation controls & engineering?
Automation Controls & Engineering provides advanced automation, controls, and test systems to product manufacturers in a variety of industries
Paired with ACE’s vast experience designing automation & testing equipment and systems, we have developed safe and efficient systems and solutions that are repeatable and reliable
Control engineering (or control system engineering) is the process of designing, analyzing, and optimizing a control sy…
Type of systems integrator
An automation integrator is a systems integrator—a company or individual—who makes different versions of automation hardware and software work together, generally combining several subsystems to work together as one large system.
General Electric Automation and Controls division combines what was formerly known as GE Intelligent Platforms and Alstom's Power Automation and Controls. In 2019, GE Intelligent Platforms was acquired by Emerson Electric and is now called Machine Automation Solutions.
Building automation for a home
Home automation or domotics is building automation for a home. A home automation system will monitor and/or control home attributes such as lighting, climate, entertainment systems, and appliances. It may also include home security such as access control and alarm systems.
A process automation or automation system (PAS) is used to automatically control a process such as chemical, oil refineries, paper and pulp factories.\nThe PAS often uses a network to interconnect sensors, controllers, operator terminals and actuators. \nA PAS is often based on open standards in contrast to a DCS, which is traditionally proprietary. \nHowever in recent times the PAS is considered to be more associated with SCADA systems.
