Abstract :
The goal of this article is to suggest a framework for viewing control applications that will help the control practitioner understand and articulate the nature of the engineering challenge. The author hopes that this framework will provide a useful guide to approaching new control applications while increasing the chances of success. He explores the question in five phases: control strategy, control physics, control architecture, control hardware, and control tuning.
