However, the fuzzy logic paradigm may provide scalability for large control systems where conventional methods become unwieldy or costly to derive: if it's more than the personal believing of the author, an authoritative reference would be nice. Engelec 20:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have added a {{cn}} tag to this statement. ~Kvng (talk) 15:31, 22 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

1. It would be nice to label the images that have no caption.

2. I didn't quite understand what was the purpose of the image in the "Linear control" section so I moved it to the "Proportional control" section which later address underdamping and overdamping.

3. The "PID control" section does not explain that PID stands for proportional, integral and derivative. I think the information should be added. Also, proportional control is introduced earlier. It would be nice to add a note to say to refer to the proportionality information above or move the entire "proportional control" section between the "PID control" section and the "derivative action" section.

4. The still image of the response of a system is redundant with the live image of the response of a system. I would consider eliminating the second.

All images now have captions.

PID acronym is defined in it's first occurrence in the Proportion control section. The PID control section has a {{Main}} link to PID controller where the acronym is explained. Another acronym definition in this article is unnecessary.

Image redundancy appears to have been resolved. ~Kvng (talk) 15:31, 22 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

SP, CO, PV: these abbreviation are common sense and should also be used in the lower graph "Illustration of a Closed Loop". If others agree, we should take care, I would be open to help in this. A.Bebel (talk) 16:08, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

First off, this material is an excerpt from Closed-loop controller so improvements will need to happen there. I agree that the terminology on the second diagram is a bit unique. We have three diagrams trying to illustrate the same thing. ~Kvng (talk) 13:23, 7 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
