{{short description|Fundamental building block of industrial control systems}}

It consists of the process sensor, the controller function, and the final control element (FCE) which controls the process necessary to automatically adjust the value of a measured [[process variable]] (PV) to equal the value of a desired [[set-point (control system)|set-point]] (SP).
