Study Notes
System Analysis and Performance
- Analysis determines a system's performance by evaluating transient response and steady-state error.
- If specifications are not met, parameters can be adjusted or additional components added to improve performance.
Transient Response
- Transient response impacts the time it takes to read or write data to a computer's disk storage.
- It represents the system's behavior after initial changes, remaining after transients decay to zero.
- Accuracy in the steady-state response is crucial for system functionality.
Practical Examples of Steady-State Response
- Elevators must align closely with the floor for safe passenger exit.
- Antenna systems must maintain satellites within beamwidth to prevent loss of signal.
- Disk drives need to correctly position on the desired track for proper operation.
Stability in Control Systems
- Control systems must be designed for stability, ensuring responses decay to zero over time.
- Instability can lead to device failure if not mitigated by limit stops in the design.
Design Considerations
- Hardware selection should align with the desired specifications and overall system effectiveness.
- Financial constraints may influence the design and materials used.
- Robust design minimizes sensitivity to parameter changes, enhancing reliability.
Steps in Control System Design
- Transform requirements into physical systems; for example, specifying antenna control features like weight and dimensions.
- Define design specifications based on desired transient response and steady-state accuracy.
- Create a functional block diagram that qualitatively describes system components and their interconnections.
- Develop a schematic diagram from the physical system description, taking necessary approximations to avoid complexity.
