After the experimental chapters where the characteristics and the typical behaviours of processes, controllers and continuous automatic control systems have been deeply analyzed, we open here a new chapter where the Discontinuous Automatic Control systems are simulated and analyzed; in these systems the controller is composed of a an element with discontinuous intervention.

A discontinuous controller is characterized by an output having two or more fixed states and its value is switched among these states according to the input value.

At the end of this chapter we can consider as concluded the theoretical-experimental study which is necessary for the practical application to be performed on real processes.
