A closed-loop control system generally works as
follows. A centralized controller gets values from the
various sensors, does the computation to determine
the various settings (often by solving some partial
differential equations), and then issues necessary
commands to the actuators in the system so that the
system remains balanced and gives optimal

less defects. The modules are developed and tested as plug and
play components. This should be done effectively at design
