{wiki=Hierarchical_control_system}

A hierarchical control system is an organizational structure commonly used in systems engineering, automation, and control systems that organizes components into levels or layers based on their function and responsibility. In such a system, higher-level components provide overall strategic direction, while lower-level components handle the implementation and execution of specific tasks. This structure allows for a clear division of responsibilities, efficient management, and improved communication within the system.
