What is Control?

Control is the process of directing and regulating the behavior of a system to achieve a specific goal.

• In simple terms:

Control means making things work the way we want, not randomly.

 Where does control exist?

In any control process, there is:

• A goal or a system to be controlled

• Measurement of the actual output

• Comparison between the actual value and the desired value

• Correction when an error occurs

We use control every day without noticing it, for example:

• Adjusting air conditioner temperature

• Controlling car speed

• Managing time

• Adjusting volume level

• Controlling water level in a tank

Control is not only an engineering concept,

it is a general principle in daily life,

and in engineering, we transform it into automatic systems that ensure efficiency and stability.
