Bang–bang control

Bang–bang control is a two-state control system. It means a system that is either on or off. It is also known as on–off control. Bang–bang control is used in many situations when you need to control something that changes quickly from one setting to another. For example, when you tell your car to stop, it might switch from going to zero speed very quickly. That's the bang–bang control at work.
