BF: Basics of closed-loop control

[detlefarend]

Description/Motivation This issue introduces the basics of closed-loop control into MLPro...

Task list

• [x] 1. Initial class design

• [ ] 2. Basic implementation of template and process classes

  • [x] 2.1 Control data types
    • [x] bf.control.SetPoint
    • [x] bf.control.ControlError
    • [x] bf.control.ControlVariable
    • [x] bf.control.ControlledVariable
  • [ ] 2.2 Operators
    • [x] Comparator
    • [ ] Converter
    • [x] Integrator
  • [x] 2.3 bf.control.Controller
  • [ ] 2.4 bf.control.MultiController
  • [x] 2.5 bf.control.ControlledSystem
  • [ ] 2.6 bf.control.ControllerFct (wrapper for functions)
  • [x] 2.7 bf.control.ControlWorkflow
  • [x] 2.8 bf.control.ControlSystem
    • [x] 2.8.1 bf.control.ControlSystemBasic

• [ ] 3. Timing

  • [ ] Class bf.control.Controller: new parameter p_time_scale : int = 1
  • [ ] Class bf.control.ControlledSystem: time step for method System.process_action()
  • [ ] Heartbeat (smallest latency of all systems involved)

• [ ] 4. Review/changes on existing MLPro functionalities

  • [ ] 4.1 bf.systems.System: latency vs. p_step vs. p_t_step in method process_action()

• [ ] 5. Elementary howtos

  • [x] howto_bf_control_001_basic_control_loop.py (hunter and fox)

• [ ] 6. RTD

  • [x] Basic menu structures
