Closed Loop System (PID)
This Closed Loop System video is an introductory precursor to the What is PID? videos (parts 1 and 2) and the PLC PID tutorial. It explains feedback control and the basic elements of a closed‑loop system using a heat exchanger as the example process. If you’re new to control systems, this video provides a clear foundation for understanding setpoints, feedback, error signals, controllers, actuators, and disturbances.
