Abstract
Feedback control was introduced for the purpose of compensating for variability in components and raw materials, so that the quality of product output could be improved. A properly designed feedback control system is expected to be rather insensitive to plant errors, component drift, and input disturbances and variability. Furthermore, the system should be stable, robust, and cost effective. Traditional techniques have usually been satisfactory for these purposes.
