What is cascade control? Characteristic

The set point of a controller that controlling the final control Two controllers, two sensors/transmitters and one final control
element is set by another controller. element for a two level cascade system.

Purpose
1. To eliminate the effects of disturbances.
2. To improve the dynamic performance of the control loop.
