    - A control system can be defined as the system which can carry out either of the following functions:

    1. The system output can be controlled to some desired particular value for particular input

    2. If certain conditions are satisfied, it can give a particular sequence of output, corresponding to given input.

    - The suitable example for the first function of control system is the central temperature control or heating system in house.
