In the field of [[control engineering]], a '''map-based controller''' is a controller whose outputs are based on values derived from a pre-defined [[lookup table]]. 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 [[transfer function]] as discrete entries within a lookup table, engineers free to modify smaller sections or update the whole list of entries as required.
