🔍 Key Concepts

• Modes of control used in automatic control systems (on/off, proportional, integral, derivative, floating) • How cylinder unloading on a low-pressure air compressor actually works (loaded vs unloaded states) • Difference between continuous/gradual control and simple on/off (two-position) control

💭 Think About

• Think about whether the unloading mechanism gives a continuously varying output, or if it just changes between distinct states. • Ask yourself: when cylinders are unloaded on a compressor, does the mechanism ‘anticipate’ rate of change, ‘accumulate’ past error, or simply switch the machine’s capacity level? • Compare the physical action of the unloading mechanism with what you know about derivative and integral control in a controller.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the definition of two-position control (also called on/off control). • Review what integral control does with accumulated error over time versus what actually happens in a mechanical unloading device. • Confirm whether a single speed floating controller moves gradually between positions or jumps directly between two fixed conditions.
