Which of the following describes input in a control system?
Information created by and distributed by a system
Transforms incoming information into outgoing information
Manages the behavior of various components in a system
The set point to direct the outcome of a system
Which of the following describes controls in a control system?
Information created by and distributed by a system
Transforms incoming information into outgoing information
Manages the behavior of various components in a system
The set point to direct the outcome of a system
Open-loop systems input and feedback to control a system’s functions.
True
False
While on long road trips, using cruise control to control the speed of the car saves Patrick from driving fatigue. He simply pushes the accelerator to his desired speed, then presses the “set” button. This triggers the system to remember the throttle position and speed then keeps it at that position. The engine recognizes disturbances to the speed, like hills and wind resistance, and adjusts the throttle appropriately to maintain the desired speed.
Match the control system parts to their corresponding element.
input
desired speed
process
engine
output
car speed
control
setting the cruise control
