Industrial Control System (ICS) - ✔✔A device or set of devices that managed commands directs
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
or regulates the behaviour or other devices or system, bridges cyber to physical, a device that can
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
influence the real world || || ||

Control Loops - ✔✔calculating and controlling an environment or process based on feedback.
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) - ✔✔a control loop feedback mechanism (controller) || || || || || || || || || || ||
widely used in industrial control systems. Calculates an error value as the difference between a
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
measured process variable and a desired setpoint. || || || || || ||
Proportional - ✔✔The PID value that produces an output value that is proportional to the current
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
error value. The proportional response can be adjusted by multiplying the error by a constant Kp,
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
called the proportional gain constant.
|| || || ||
Integral - ✔✔The PID value that is proportional to both the magnitude of the error and the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
duration of the error. In a PID controller, it is the sum of the instantaneous error over time and
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
gives the accumulated offset that should have been corrected previously. The accumulated error is
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
then multiplied by the integral gain (K_i) and added to the controller output.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
Derivative - ✔✔This PID value in the process error is calculated by determining the slope of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
error over time and multiplying this rate of change by the derivative gain Kd. The magnitude of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the contribution of the derivative term to the overall control action is termed the gain.
