Summary
The basic terms and relations of the theory of automatic control are discussed. Attention is paid to logic control and continuous linear regulation. The conclusion of the lectures is focused on the interpretation of principles of nonlinear and digital regulation. The course provides comprehensive information on the problem solving problems of control theory of technological aggregates.
