Default PLC?

Don Foreman fired this volley in
:

Yes, because the servo has internal position sensing feedback.


That still doesn't make the entire system a cybernetic loop. The error
signal generating equipment derives no feedback from the effector. It's a
"dead reckoning" system; the controller tells the curtain to "move to x",
and only assumes it has happened.
