Reglerausgang

Reglerausgang refers to the output signal of a controller in a control system. This signal represents the command or action that the controller determines is necessary to achieve a desired state or behavior in the system being controlled. In essence, it's what the controller *tells* the actuator or system to do.

The nature of the Reglerausgang can vary significantly depending on the type of controller and the application. For instance, in a simple on-off controller, the output might be a binary signal, either "on" or "off," controlling a heating element or a motor. More sophisticated controllers, such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, generate a continuous analog output. This analog signal could be a voltage, current, or a pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal, which is then used to adjust the position of a valve, the speed of a motor, or the intensity of a light.

The Reglerausgang is a critical component of the feedback loop. It is derived from the controller's internal calculations, which typically involve comparing the measured system state (the feedback) to the desired setpoint. The difference, or error, is then processed by the control algorithm to produce the appropriate output signal. The effectiveness of the entire control system hinges on the Reglerausgang accurately and appropriately influencing the controlled process.
