CONTROL SYSTEMS
Control systems are considered in engineering as an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary area entrusted of modeling
and analyzing plants and designing controllers. Controllers act on the input variables of the plant so that the output
variables behave according to a pre-established reference

A closed-loop system uses the output information to correct it through manipulation of the
input signals (this operation performed by the controller). Closed-loop control systems are
the foundation of automatic control. Liliana Fernández Samacá
