Säätökohteet
Säätökohteet are a fundamental concept in control engineering, referring to the specific physical quantities or variables within a system that are intended to be regulated or manipulated. These are the parameters that a control system aims to keep at a desired setpoint or to change according to a predefined profile. For instance, in a heating system, the temperature of a room is a säätökohde. The control system measures the current temperature and adjusts the heating elements to maintain the desired temperature. Other common examples include the speed of a motor, the flow rate of a liquid, the position of a robotic arm, or the voltage of a power supply.
The choice of säätökohde is critical for the effective design and operation of any control system. It
