A control system consists of subsystems and processes (or plants) assembled for the purpose of obtaining a desired output with desired performance, given a specified input. Figure 1.1 shows a control system in its simplest form. For example, consider an elevator. When the fourth-floor button is pressed on the first floor, the elevator rises to the fourth floor with a speed and floor-leveling accuracy designed for passenger comport. The push of the fourth-floor button is an (36) that represents our desired (37), shown as a step function in Figure 1.2. The performance of elevator can be seen from the elevator response curve in the figure. Two major measured of performance are apparent: the transient response and the steady-state error. In our example, passenger comfort and passenger patience are dependent upon the (38). If this response is too fast, passenger comfort is sacrificed; if too slow, passenger patience is sacrificed. The (39) is another important performance specification since passenger safety and convenience would be sacrificed if the elevator did not (40) properly.
