[Column] What is a Control System? Examples of Use, Types, and Points to Consider When Requesting Development

What is a control system? Introducing types, usage examples, and points to consider when requesting development! Numerous achievements in various fields! Leave the development and construction of control systems to Nippo!

A control system is a system that manages the operation of machines to ensure they function according to design and planning. It is installed in many machines and facilities, ranging from large infrastructure facilities to everyday items like cars. This time, we will introduce control systems, which are gaining attention due to the expansion of markets such as 5G and robotics. There are several types of control systems. <Logical Control> This type of control system is used for operations that require stopping and executing. It receives information from input devices such as switches and sensors and performs control actions based on that information. <Feedback Control> This system detects the results of a machine's actions through sensors and performs control, providing feedback to the operation. It is a type of automatic control that compares the target value with the output, allowing the machine to repeatedly turn on and off to approach the target value. There are three points to consider when ordering a control system: 1. Organize the requirements your company needs. 2. Check the track record and areas of expertise of the development company. 3. Ensure there are no unclear points in the estimate. Nippo develops and builds control systems, offering services from pre-development research to development and after-support.
