Definition
A control system is an interconnection of components forming a system configuration that will provide a desired system response. Analysis in general involves:
Linear system Theory : Assumes Causeeffect relationship for the components of a y system.
A control system consists of subsystems and processes (plants) assembled for the purpose of controlling the outputs of the processes. processes

Design Objectives g j
Produce desired transient response response. Reduce steady-state error. Achieve closed-loop stability. A hi l dl t bilit Total Response = Natural Response + Forced Response The closed-loop system s natural closed loop systems response must not dominate! The output must follow the input input.
Another example p
B. Detailed Layout
Satisfactory design revolves around a balance between transient performance, steady-state performance, and stability. Adjusting gain & adding compensators are the tools a control engineer has to achieve this balance.
