    - A closed-loop control system which can operate without human operator is known as an automatic control system.

    - One of the examples of automatic control system is a pressure control system where the pressure inside the furnace is automatically controlled by affecting changes in the position of damper.

    - There many advantages of the automatic control system such as increase in output, reduction in operating cost, improvement in the quality of the product, reduced effects of non-linearities and distortions.

    - The only limitation of the automatic control system is that it has a tendency to over-correct the errors which may results in oscillations of constant or changing amplitudes.
