Control System Basics
- Control systems are designed to manage the output of processes based on inputs, with different terminologies for input (stimulus) and output (response).
- Applications span multiple domains: biological systems, space exploration, transportation, manufacturing plants, and automation technologies.
Control System Advantages
- Power amplification for enhanced output.
- Remote control capabilities for managing hazardous situations.
- Simplified input formats for user convenience.
- Compensation for disturbances, ensuring accurate operations despite external factors.
System Characteristics
- Transient Response: The system's immediate reaction to input changes.
- Steady State Response: How close the system's output aligns with the desired result over time.
- Stability: System characteristic defined by minimal to no natural responses to inputs.
Classification of Control Systems
- Systems can be classified based on signal types (continuous vs discrete), input/output numbers (SISO vs MIMO), and feedback mechanisms (Open Loop vs Closed Loop).
- Open-Loop Systems: Achieve control without feedback; less accurate and easier to design.
- Closed Loop Systems: Utilize feedback for corrective action; typically more precise but complicated.
Open vs Closed Loop Control Systems
- Open Loop:
- No feedback mechanism.
- Economical but inaccurate.
- Simpler design.
- Closed Loop:
- Feedback path present.
- More expensive but accurate due to continuous monitoring and adjustments.
- Complex to design and implement.
Key Concepts in Control System Analysis
- Assessing transient and steady-state responses is essential for system design and optimization.
- Analyzing current system responses helps in adjusting designs to achieve desired outcomes.
Preparation and Assignments
- Review advanced mathematics, including Differential Equations and Laplace Transforms.
- Familiarize with Circuit Analysis topics to support control system concepts.
- Short quizzes will precede lectures to reinforce learning.### Steady-State Errors and System Analysis
- Steady-state error can be reduced through analysis and corrective actions.
- Achieving stability involves ensuring the natural response approaches zero or exhibits controlled oscillations.
- Total response of a system consists of natural response plus forced response.
Natural vs. Forced Response
- Natural response reflects how a system dissipates or acquires energy, determined by system properties only.
- Forced response relates to external disturbances or errors, influenced by inputs.
- Transient response is primarily governed by natural responses, while steady-state response focuses on the smaller natural responses over time.
Control System Principles
- The design process begins with schematic creation and development of a mathematical model using block diagrams.
- Mathematical modeling often utilizes differential equations transformed by Laplace Transform.
- Block diagrams simplify complex systems into manageable components, depicting interconnections.
Analyzing System Specifications
- Identifying physical systems and their specifications is vital for effective design.
- Evaluate time responses, including transient and steady-state behaviors, to analyze errors and stability.
Types of Feedback in Control Systems
- Positive feedback enhances performance by adding reference input to feedback output.
- Negative feedback also combines reference input and feedback output but functions to stabilize the system.
Transfer Functions
- A transfer function relates the Laplace transform of output to that of the input under zero initial conditions.
- Form is given as T = Output = C(s) and Input = R(s) with adjustments for feedback.
Laplace Transform
- The Laplace Transform converts time-domain functions into the frequency domain, enabling easier manipulation of differential equations.
- It simplifies convolution into multiplication, benefiting various applications in science and engineering.
Partial Fraction Expansion
- This technique breaks down complex functions into simpler components that are easier to transform.
- Conditions include ensuring N(s) is of lesser degree than D(s) for direct expansion.
Application in Electric Networks
- Transfer functions model electric circuits by relating voltage and current under steady-state conditions.
- Components such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors are characterized by specific relationships between voltage and charge.
System Response Problems
- Finding the transfer function involves manipulating differential equations and applying Laplace transforms.
- The system response can be determined through analysis of the differential equation's components and initial conditions involved.
Key Formulae for Derivatives
- Laplace derivatives relationship: For first-order, L{f′(t)} = sL{f(t)} - f(0), and further for second and third-orders by increasing powers of s.
- The integral of a function can be converted through the Laplace Transform to facilitate resolution of complex equations.

- Capacitor voltage relationship: ( V(s) = C s I(s) )
- Resistor voltage relationship: ( V(s) = R I(s) )
- Inductor voltage relationship: ( V(s) = L s I(s) )
Impedance
- Impedance formula: ( Z(s) = \frac{V(s)}{I(s)} = C s + R + L s )
- For parallel circuits, apply: ( \frac{1}{Z(s)} = \frac{1}{C s} + \frac{1}{R} + \frac{1}{L s} )
- Series circuit involves summation of individual impedances.
Transfer Function Basics
- Conduct analysis by transforming circuit variables to Laplace domain: ( v(t) \to V(s), i(t) \to I(s), vc(t) \to Vc(s) )
- Replace component values using their impedance values.
Steps to Find Transfer Function
- Example query: Find transfer function relating capacitor voltage ( Vc(s) ) to the input voltage ( V(s) ).
- Capacitor voltage derived as: ( Vc(s) = I(s) C s )
- Impedance addends result in higher-order linear equation for circuit behavior: ( V(s) = Vc(s)(s^2LC + sRC + 1) )
Analyzing DC Circuits
- Identify current and voltage signs:
- Current flows from "+" to "-" (lift), indicating a "+" sign.
- Current flows from "-" to "+" (drop), indicating a "-" sign.
- Define the current loop direction, and maintain consistency across loops.
Problem Solving Using Loop Rule
- Apply Ohm’s Law for calculations in circuits:
- ( I = \frac{V}{R} ) and voltage drop calculated as ( V_D = I \times R )
- In any circuit: ( \text{Sum of } I_{\text{in}} = \text{Sum of } I_{\text{out}} )
- Voltage rule states: ( \text{Sum of Voltages in the circuit} = 0 )
Sample Circuit Problem Steps
- Example: To find current ( I1 ):
- Compute ( I1 = \frac{12 \text{ volts}}{60 \text{ ohms}} )
- Results in ( I1 = 0.2 \text{ amps} )
- Voltage drop calculated as: ( V_D = 0.2 \text{ amps} \times 60 \text{ ohms} = 12 \text{ V} )
Additional Circuit Problem Focus
- Tasks may involve identifying multiple currents and voltage drops.
- Consider node voltages across given nodes for comprehensive circuit analysis.
