Methods for implementing control systems, such as digital, radio, and sensorless control.

Subcategories

• Digital control - the use of digital computers for systems control in place of analog machines
• Distributed control - a system where the controllers are not centralized but are located throughout a system and in subsystems
• Optimal control - a set of equations describing the path of the control variables that minimizes the cost function
• Proportional control - a feedback control system that modulates the output of a continuous variable, contrasted with "on-off control"
• Radio control - the use of radio signals to remotely control a device
• Sensorless control - a control that infers the position of a system, such as ripple or transient counting
