Setpoint Control in Feedback Systems

A control system manages other devices using control loops, ranging from home heating controllers to large industrial systems. A feedback controller automatically controls a process by comparing the current process variable to the desired setpoint and applying the difference as a control signal to adjust the process variable output to match the setpoint.

A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or

systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using
a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large Industrial control systems which are used for
controlling processes or machines.
For continuously modulated control, a feedback controller is used to automatically control a
process or operation. The control system compares the value or status of the process
variable (PV) being controlled with the desired value or setpoint (SP), and applies the difference
as a control signal to bring the process variable output of the plant to the same value as the
setpoint.
