Furnace

Automative engine (plant)

Input: Desired heat

Control System: Fuel valves and actuator

Output: Actual heat

Input: fuel rate & pump rate


Output: shaft speed

A control system responses to an input by undergoing a transient response before reach a steady state

3 Main objective in designing control system

Transient response

Too fast = uncomfortable

Stability

Too long = booring

Steady State Response

consistent output = may cause injury

steady state error has to be small

Only exist in stable system

1.5 OPEN LOOP AND CLOSE LOOP

1.2 CLASSIFICATION OF CONTROL SYSTEMS

1.3 ADVANTAGES OF CONTROL SYSTEMS

Open loop System

Close loop system

open loop system is that it cannot compensate for any disturbances that add to the controller driving signal.

Example Open loop system:

Classification based on the mathematical
model of the system

A system mechanical or electronic device that automatically regulates a system to maintain a desired state or set point without human interaction.

Example close loop system:

Classification based on groups

Classification based on type of signals used

Advantages:

Simplicity

Low-cost

Easy maintenance

Disadvantages

step 3: Transform the physical system into schematic diagram

step 4: Development of mathematical modelling

step 2: Draw functional block diagram

step 5: Block diagram reduction

step 6: Analysis and design

Poor Reliability

Poor Flexibility

Can't handle disruption

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

Disadvantages

Flexible and Faster Recovery

Continuos Improvement

Reliable and accurate

Required heavy documentatation

expensive and exclusive

costly and intensive training

signals that are used in
subsystems and components are in discrete or digital form

Power Amplification

signals that are used in
subsystems and components is in time domain, t

Remote Control

Convenience of Input Form

Linear control systems

Compensation for Disturbance

Several tool/techniques can be used to solve the control problems

Is always used during the analysis and design phase

Example: DC motor

An ideal system

in moving the radar antenna position to certain angle, small input power is amplified to produce high output torque

Non-linear control systems

step 1: Transforming the requirements into physical system and design specifications

Systems that normally exist in the real world and difficult to
analyze

No general method to find the control solution

Approximations are normally made so that the system behaves like
a linear system to allow analysis and design

Example: AC motor, inverted pendulum

in controlling the movements of robots working in contaminated areas where human presence should be avoided

in a temperature control system, the turn of a knob corresponds to certain desired room temperature exp: thermostat

to maintain antenna position in the presence of strong wind

Kinetic (tracking) control systems

Process (regulating) control systems

Fast system response with small delay time

Control variables: displacement/position, speed, acceleration

Input may be fixed or changing

Normally involves electrical or hydraulic manipulators

Slow system response with large delay time

System responds to a fixed set point

Control variables: temperature, flow, level, pressure

Examples of manipulators include pneumatic manipulators
and heating elements
