Digital Control System
A Digital Control System is a type of control system that uses digital computers to manage and regulate the behavior of dynamic systems. Unlike analog systems, which use continuous signals, digital control systems operate with discrete values, allowing for more precise and flexible control. They are commonly used in various applications, including robotics, automotive systems, and industrial automation.
These systems typically involve sensors that collect data, a digital controller that processes this information, and actuators that implement the control actions. By utilizing algorithms and software, such as PID controllers or state-space methods, digital control systems can effectively respond to changes in the environment and maintain desired performance levels.
