D Two-position controller
The two-position controller (or three-position controller for heating/cooling) is used to activate
relays, contactors or thyristor switches for electric heating or cooling.
- Two-position controller without feedback
In the simplest version without feedback, two-position controllers operate an on/off
switch. The controllers output is switched if the controlled variable violates the upper or
lower limits of the switching hysteresis (x1 and x2). The controlled variable x is subject to
permanent oscillation whose frequency and amplitude depend on the delay time of the
system and the switching hysteresis of the controller.
