Proportional-integral-derivative control is applied in PID regulation
I remember there being a book titled Automatic Control Systems, in which there was a control diagram showing how a flow meter detects the flow rate and then provides feedback to control the valve via interlock mechanisms. This is the simplest type of control system. In short, it involves a sensing instrument that sends back signals; a limit value is set, and this enables the control instrument to take action – it’s a simple automatic control system. It’s a bit more complex: interference is introduced in the process, or more than one measurement parameter is used to control the actions – for example, temperature, pressure, flow rate, and so on. As I understand it, PID involves using linear methods to address nonlinear problems, essentially replacing curves with straight lines, and it also involves interlocked controls.
