Servomechanism, Regulator and Process Control
by S. K. Bhattacharya
Servomechanism is an automatic control system in which the controlled variable value is forced to follow the variations of reference value, instead of regulating a variable value to “set point”.
Take, for example, an industrial robot arm. It is also called tracking control system.
Regulator is a feedback control system in which controlled variable is maintained at a constant value in spite of external load on the plant. The reference input or command signal although adjustable, is held constant for long period of time. The primary task is then to maintain the output and the desired value in the presence of disturbances. Examples are regulation of steam supply in steam engine by fly-balls governor, thermostat control of home-heating systems, regulation of the voltage of an alternator, frequency controller and speed controller and so on.
Process control refers to control of such parameters as level, flow, pressure, temperature and acidity of process variables. A particular parameter has only one desired value. The control system is required to ensure that the process output is maintained at the desired level in spite of external disturbances which affect the process.
