Setpoint (control system)

In cybernetics and control theory, a setpoint (SP; also set point) is the desired or target value for an essential variable, or process value (PV) of a control system. Departure of such a variable from its setpoint is one basis for error-controlled regulation using negative feedback for automatic control. (Wikipedia).

What Is Feedforward Control? | Control Systems in Practice

A control system has two main goals: get the system to track a setpoint, and reject disturbances. Feedback control is pretty powerful for this, but this video shows how feedforward control can make achieving those goals easier. Temperature Control in a Heat Exchange Example: http://bit.ly
