Study Notes
Controllability and Observability
- Controllability and observability are two major concepts in modern control system theory.
Controllability
- A system is controllable if every state variable can be affected or controlled in finite time by some unconstrained control signal.
- The system must be able to be controlled to achieve desired outcomes.
Observability
- A system is observable if every state variable eventually affects some of the outputs of the process.
- The system must be able to be observed to understand its internal behavior.
Importance of Controllability and Observability
- Controllability is necessary to make the system do what we want.
- Observability is necessary to see what is going on inside the system.
Test your knowledge of controllability and observability, two fundamental concepts in control system theory. Explore the concepts of being able to control a dynamic system and observe its internal behavior.
