Proportional Control

Proportional control is a method used in systems to maintain a desired state or level, such as temperature or speed. It works by continuously measuring the difference between the current condition and the target (called the error) and then adjusting the control output proportionally to that error. The larger the error, the stronger the response; as the system approaches the target, the adjustment decreases. This approach helps achieve stable and responsive control, reducing the gap between actual and desired values efficiently without requiring complex calculations.
