Introduction to Control Systems (Iqbal)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
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. The control systems are designed via control engineering process.
