On a follow up control the value for the controlled variable follows the changing value of the reference variable during the feedback control (DIN 19 226). The main task of the controller here is to adjust the controlled variable to the reference variable as quickly as possible, e.g. on the specification of a velocity change as a ramp function in a velocity feedback control circuit for a cylinder drive the piston velocity should correspond to this ramp function as accurately as possible.
