A controller model used extensively is the PID type, shown in Laplace form in

E(s) = process error
represents the controller algorithm and a process with first order lag
plus a dead time. The process block implicitly includes the dynamics of the
measuring devices and the final control elements, in our case the evaporator power
supply. R(s) represents the rate setpoint. The feedback mechanism is the error
generated by the difference between the measured deposition rate, C(s), and the
rate set point, R(s).
