What Components Make Up an Electronic Control System?

[StJade]

An electronic control system consists of signal input devices, an electronic control unit (ECU), and actuators. The electronic control system is an automatic control system that uses electronic devices such as computers as control units. Signal input devices are equipment that input data and information into the computer. The electronic control unit (ECU) is a comprehensive control electronic device whose function is to receive reference voltage from various sensors, accept electrical signals input by sensors or other devices, and store, calculate, and analyze the received signals. Based on the results of calculations and analysis, it sends commands to the actuators. Actuators are devices controlled by the output commands of the ECU, specifically executing certain control functions.
