Descriptions for G05B and notes/indexes are displayed on this screen.


Note(s)
    This subclass covers features of control systems or elements for regulating specific variables, which are clearly more generally applicable.[7]This subclass does not cover :
      systems for controlling or regulating non-electric variables in general, which are covered by subclass G05D;systems for regulating electric or magnetic variables in general, which are covered by subclass G05F;systems specially adapted for the control of particular machines or apparatus provided for in a single other subclass, which are classified in the relevant subclass for such machines or apparatus, provided that there is specific provision for control or regulation relevant to the special adaptation. Otherwise, classification is made in the most appropriate place in this subclass.
    In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:
      "automatic controller" means a system, circuit, or device in which a signal from the detecting element is compared with a signal representing the desired value and which operates in such a way as to reduce the deviation. The automatic controller generally does not include the sensitive element, i.e. that element which measures the value of the condition to be corrected, or the correcting element, i.e. that element which adjusts the condition to be corrected;"electric" includes "electromechanical", "electrohydraulic" or "electropneumatic".
    In this subclass, details of specific control systems are classified in the group relevant to the system, if not otherwise provided for.
