4.4 MULTI-CONTROLLER SYSTEMS

 

· It can sometimes be helpful to have more than one controller in a system.

 

· In feedforward controllers we have one controller to deal with an input value, and a second to control error.

 

· In cascade control we break the control into segments, that take advantage of readings within the process.
