TERMINOLOGY GLOSSARY
- Control Systems: Systems that manage and control the operation of various devices and equipment, using feedback and other techniques to regulate and maintain desired performance.
- Microprocessors: Small processors used in many control systems to process data and perform control functions.
- Output Transducer: A device that converts electrical signals from a control system into physical action or output, such as motion or heat.
- Feedback Loops: A system in which the output of a process is monitored and fed back into the system to adjust the input, ensuring that the desired output is achieved.
- Embedded Systems: Computer systems that are integrated into other devices or equipment, often performing control functions.
- Centrally Controlled System: A control system in which all functions are managed by a single central controller.
- Distributed System: A control system in which control functions are distributed across multiple controllers, working together to manage the system.
- Autonomous Agents: A type of control system that operates independently and makes decisions based on a set of rules or objectives, often used in robotics and artificial intelligence applications.
