#97420 - Off Topic - A control systems question
Hello all,
Before you read any futher, let me just state that this question has nothing to do with the microcontroller stuff we usually talk about here. That being said, there is no need to read to any futher if the question is of no interest, I do still, however, thank you for your time.

I have a question that may seem simple to some of you, but one that I have been struggeling to find the answer to.

Its basic control systems. How are filters used in a controller? I know that the difference between the feedback and reference signal is the input to the controller, but I cannot understand how filters (using gain and phase) are used to regulate the input to the "plant" based on this difference.

I tried to use the example of a simple dc motor as a plant to understand the concept, but I am still at a loss.

Can someone please explain.....
Thank you for your time.
