usually in order to produce a specified response
from the control system.

It is the actual response obtained from the control

Most automatic toasters are Example of open loop control system


open loop systems because
they are controlled by a timer.
the time required to make a
good toast must be estimated
by the user, who is not part of
the system. Control over the
quality of toast (the output) is
removed once the time, which
is both the input and the
control action, has been set.
The time is typically set by
means of a callibrated dial or
switch.

the control action is somehow dependent on the


closed loop control system output. It is commonlycalled feedback control
system

it is the property of a closed loop system which


permits the output (or some other controlled
variable) to be compared with the input to the
Feedback system (or an input to some other internally situated
component or subsystem) so that the appropriate
control action may be performed as some function
of the output and input

*Increase accuracy
Characteristics of feedback
*Tendency toward oscillation
or instability

*reduced sensitivity of the ratio


of output to input to variations
in system parameters and other
characteristics

*Reduced effects of
nonlinearities

*Reduce effects of external


disturbances or noise

*Increased bandwidth.

is a frequency response measure of how well the


bandwidth system responds to (or filters) variations (or
frequencies) in the input signal.
