[Hans Blom, 950919]
Rick:
your control system must have a precise measure of its own output
Hans:
Yes. Doesn't yours?
Rick:
No. Of course not, Hans. You've been making this up. A control model
(PCT) doesn't use u in the computation of the error signal that
drives u.
Me, now:
No, I'm not making this up, as Bill has acknowledged already. Please
read your own (or Bill's code) of the "classical" PCT-controller with
its "leaky integrator". In all of these controllers I find a state-
ment that starts with
u := u + ...
In more accurate terminology:
u_new := u_old + ...
This means that the controller, in computing its new u, uses (and
therefore must know!) its previous u.
Greetings,
Hans
