Well, sweetheart, a regulatory control system is like a strict parent that keeps things in line by maintaining a set value, while a servo system is more like a personal assistant that adjusts based on feedback to reach a desired position or speed. So basically, one plays by the rules, while the other is more flexible and adaptive. Hope that clears things up for you, pumpkin!

A servo control loop is one which responds to a change in setpoint. The setpoint may be changed as a function of time (typical of this are batch processes), and therefore the controlled variable must follow the setpoint.

A regulatory control loop is one which responds to a change in some input value, bringing the system back to steady state. Regulatory control is by far more common than servo control in the process industries.
When setpoint is changed and PV moves to SP, this is servo controls. When the disturnbances are rejected by the control system , then it is regulatory controls.
