Feedback Control:
• Distinguishing feature: measure the controlled variable
• Advantages:
Corrective action is taken regardless of the source of
Lecture 3
the disturbance.
Reduces sensitivity of the controlled variable to
disturbances and changes in the process.
• Disadvantages:
No corrective action occurs until after the disturbance
has upset the process, that is, until after x differs from
xsp.
Very oscillatory responses, or even instability…

Feedforward Control:
Distinguishing feature: measure a disturbance
variable
• Advantage:
Correct for disturbance before it upsets the process.
Lecture 3
• Disadvantage:
Must be able to measure the disturbance.
No corrective action for unmeasured disturbances.
