Abstract

This section begins with some control-related definitions of some basic terms and concepts. This is followed by some introductory discussion of process dynamics and closed loop feedback control. For an in-depth discussion of analog and digital PID (proportional-integral-derivative) variations, closed loop responses, and the various model-based expert and optimizing control systems, the reader should turn to the later sections of this chapter.
