1.1 Introduction
Control system definitionSubsystem(controller) + Processes(Plants)The outputs of the processes is controlled by the subsystemE.g.: Fuel valve(fuel valve actuator) + Furnace
Control System Eng. 4
Advantages of control systemsPower amplificationRemote control
− In remote and dangerous location
Convenience of input form− Input form can be changedfor convenience.
Compensation for disturbances− Measure the disturbance and compensate controller inputs accordingly.

1.2 History of Control Systems
Liquid-level controlA water clock around 300 B.C. in GreeceAn oil lamp
Steam pressure and temperature controlSteam pressure regulation Temperature control system in the 17th century
Speed controlA windmill blade area controlSpeed control of steam engines in the 18th century

Stability, stabilization, and steeringThe stability criterion for a 3rd order system
− by J.C.Maxwell in 1868Extended to 5th order systems
− by E. J. Routh in 1874‘The Criterion of Dynamical Stability’
− awarded The Adams Prize in 1877The Routh-Hurwitz criterion
− First contained in Routh’s ‘A treatise on the Stability of a Given State of Motion
Lyapunov Stability Theory− Extension of Routh’s theory to nonlinear systems in
1892

Twentieth-century developmentsPID control based on the theory of Nicholas Minorsky in early 20th centuryAnalysis of a feedback amp
− H.W.Bode and H. Nyquist at Bell lab in 1920s and 1930s
− Evolved into sinusoidal frequency analysis and design techniques
The root locus− To map the roots of the characteristic equation of a
feedback system developed by W.R. Evans in 1948.

1.3 The Control Systems EngineerControl systems engineering
Concerns designing systems to meet overall system requirementsRequires knowledge of numerous branches of engineering and sciences
Bottom-up design− In typical engineering curricula
Top-down design− Formulate system requirements first− Define functions and hardware to implement
Students are encouraged to take a top-down design as a result of the course
Control System Eng. 10
1.4 Response Characteristics and System Configurations
Input and output(Reference) Input
− Desired response of the plantOutput
− Actual response of the plant
Control System Eng. 11
1.4 Response Characteristics and System Configurations
Transient response− Gradual change of the response from its initial state
Steady-state response− Approximation to the desired response− Steady-state error
− ess = Desired response – Steady-state response
Control System Eng. 12
Open-loop SystemsController + Process (plant) in cascade form
− A transducer may be required to change the input form to the controller
− Disturbances may existCannot compensate the disturbance signals
E.g.: toasters, mechanical systems, etc.
Control System Eng. 13
Closed-loop (feedback control) systemsThe plant output is incorporated:
Plant Input = Reference Input - Plant Output− Plant input and output transducers may be required.− More complex than open loop system, but− Transient response and steady-state error can be
controlled more efficiently.
Control System Eng. 14
Computer-controlled systemsDigital computers
− Server as the controller in modern control systems− Perform supervisory functions− Control algorithms and gains are implemented in
software.

1.5 Analysis and Design Objectives
Major objectives of system analysis and designProducing the desired transient responseReducing steady-state errorAchieving stability
Control System Eng. 16
1.5 Analysis and Design Objectives
Transient responseThe response is related to
− User patience− Physical damage
Tuning parameters to have desired transient response is done through system analysis.
Steady-state responseAnalyzing the steady-state error and Reducing the error through analysis
Control System Eng. 17
StabilityMost important issue in control theorySystem response = Forced response + Natural responseNatural response, for stability, must
− Eventually approach to zero or− Oscillate.
Unstability could lead to self-destruction of the system

1.6 The Design Process
Control system design steps
Control System Eng. 20
1.6 The Design Process
Step1: Transform requirements into a physical systemPower, weight, physical dimension, sensor accuracy must be determined considering transient response and steady-state error
Step2: Draw a functional block diagramBlock diagram representation and interconnection of the subsystemsFunctions and hardware descriptions should be described.
Control System Eng. 21
Step 3: Create a schematicDerive a schematic from the block diagram by
− making approximations, assumptions of the system.
The schematic should be compact and simple, but must be able to account for observed behavior of the system.
Control System Eng. 22
Step 4: Develop a mathematic modelUsing physical laws such as Kirchhoff’s laws and Newton’s laws model the system mathematicallyThe system is often represented by
− Differential equations,− Transfer functions, or− State-space representation
Parameters needed in the model are provided from the vendors or must be obtained through experiments.
Step 5: Reduce the block diagramSeveral blocks (subsystems) can be reduced into a single block so that analysis can be more easily done.
Control System Eng. 23
Step 6: Analyze and designThe engineers check if
− the response specification and− performance requirements can be met by adjustments of
system parameters.Typical test signals
Control System Eng. 24
− Impulse input:− the response is only the transient response− a mathematical model of the system can be derived
− Step input:− both the transient and the steady-state response are
clearly visible− Ramp or parabolic input:
− additional information about steady-state error− Sinusoidal input:
− Test a physical system to arrive at a mathematical model
Control System Eng. 25
Through all the steps the design requirements must be satisfied

1.7 Computer-Aided Design
Use of computer in designing and analyzing control systems is strongly encouraged
MATLABMost popular and strong computer tool.Most algorithms in control systems, neural networks, fuzzy logic, signal processing, etc. are available in MATLAB toolbox.Simple C-style code is required to run MATLAB.
