Map-based controller
open-in-new
<p>In the field of <a href="/facts/Control_engineering/5ckfXmB8">control engineering</a>, a map-based controller is a controller whose outputs are based on values derived from a pre-defined <a href="/facts/Lookup_table/ULPEAGTJ">lookup table</a>. The inputs to the controller are usually values taken from one or more sensors and are used to index the output values in the lookup table. By effectively placing the <a href="/facts/Transfer_function/slDsh1lH">transfer function</a> as discrete entries within a lookup table, engineers are free to modify smaller sections or update the whole list of entries as required. </p>
