    Study Notes

    Open Loop Control System - Input vs Output

    • Torque and Speed are inversely proportional

    • Current is directly proportional to Torque, linearly increasing with Torque

    • Speed decreases linearly with Torque

    • Speed and Torque both are low at the intersection point of Speed and Current lines

    • Current acts as an input for the motor to achieve Torque

    Closed Loop Control System

    • Uses feedback or sensors to adjust the input command to operate the system

    • Desired output is compared against the Actual output

    • e(t) the difference between Desired and Actual output is used to adjust the input command

    • e(t) is called **Error signal ** or Error

    • Adjusted Command is a function of the error signal e(t)

    • Actual output gets closer to the Desired output through Tuning of the system

    • Closed-loop control is a continuous process and runs continuously, the loop can cycle as fast as the components allow

    Bang-Bang Closed Loop Control System

    • A system where the input can be either on or off
    • The simplest form of temperature control
    • Heater is ON if the Actual temperature is lower than the Desired temperature
    • Heater is OFF if the Actual Temperature is higher than the Desired Temperature
    • Temperature (T) always oscillates around the Steady State error region
    • Home Thermostat is an example of a Bang-Bang closed-loop control system with a Step Command
    • Spacecraft Reaction Control System (RCS) is a Bang-Bang closed-loop control system for attitude control

    Response Shaping

    • P, I, and D terms are used to shape the response of a feedback control system

    • Magnitude of response is primarily controlled by P term

    • Speed of response is primarily controlled by D term

    • Steady state error is primarily controlled by I term

    • Overshoot is measured relative to the Steady State Value, not the Desired Value

    • Rise time is the time it takes for the output to reach **98% ** of its final value

    • Settling time is the time it takes for the output to settle within **2% ** of its final value

    • PI controllers have both P and I terms, leading to more efficient response than only P term

    • PID controllers have all P, I, and D terms and provide the best response control, by combining the advantages of P, I, and D terms

    • Kp is the proportional gain

    • KI is the integral gain

    • Kd is the derivative gain

    • Proportional Gain (Kp) affects the Magnitude of the response

    • Integral Gain (KI) affects the Steady State Error

    • Derivative Gain (Kd) affects the Speed of the response
