Historical Perspectives of Control Systems 1. Ancient Greece (1 to 300 BC) - water float regulation, water clock, automatic oil lamp 2. Cornellis Drebbel (17 th century) - Temperature control 3. Industrial revolution (18 th century) – development of steam engine. How to control the speed of rotation of the engine without human intervention ? 4. 18th Century (1769 ?) James Watt’s flyball governor for the speed control of a steam engine (the first system for automatic control of a machine).

Watt’s Flyball Governor (speed limiter)

Historical Perspectives of Control Systems Laplace ( ) and Fourier ( ) – developed essential mathematical framework for theoretical analysis. Maxwell (1868) in his paper “On governors” developed the differential eq. model of the governor, linearized around an equilibrium point and proved that the stability of the system depends on the roots of a characteristics equation having negative real parts. Hurwitz (1875) and Routh (1905) - developed stability criteria for linear systems. Lyapunov (1983), russian mathematician, developed stability criteria for non-linear systems. Bell Telephone Labs (1930) - work on feedback amplifier design based on the concept of frequency response and backed by the maths of complex variables. Nyquist (1932) developed stability criteria using frequency domain methods. Bode (1945) and Nickols extended it to the most comonly used control system design in the frequncy domain. Evans (1948) –based on the work of Maxwell and Routh, Evans developed the Root Locus method to display grafically the roots of the characteristic eq.

What is a Mathematical Model? A set of mathematical equations (e.g., differential equations) that describes the input-output behavior of a system. What is a model used for? System Simulation Prediction/Forecasting Control System Design Design/Performance Evaluation

Dynamic Systems A system is said to be dynamic if its current output may depend on the past history as well as the present values of the input variables. Mathematically, Example: A moving mass M y u Model: Force=Mass x Acceleration

Example of a Dynamic System Velocity-Force: Therefore, this is a dynamic system. If the torque force ( bdy/dt ) is included, then Position-Force:

Mathematical Modeling Basics Mathematical model of a real world system is derived using a combination of physical laws (1 st principles) and/or experimental tools. Physical laws are used to determine the model structure (linear or nonlinear) and order. The parameters of the model are often estimated and/or validated experimentally. Mathematical model of a dynamic system is often expressed as a system of differential (difference in the case of discrete-time systems) equations.

Mathematical Modeling Basics A nonlinear model is often linearized about a certain operating point. Model reduction (or approximation) may be needed. Numerical values of the model parameters are often approximated from experimental data by curve fitting.

Example: Accelerometer Consider the mass-spring-damper (may be used as accelerometer or seismograph) system: f s ( y ): the spring reaction force; nonlinear function of y=x-u f d ( y ): the torque reaction force; nonlinear function of y=x-u Newton’s 2nd law Linearized model: M u x

Transfer Function (TF) Transfer Function is the algebraic input-output relationship of a linear time-invariant system in s domain. G(s) U Y Example: Accelerometer System

Comments on TF Transfer Function is a property of the system independent from the input-output signals. It is an algebraic representation of differential equations applying the Laplace Transformation. Systems from different disciplines (e.g., mechanical, chemical, electrical) may have the same transfer function

Mixed Systems Most real world systems (processes, plants) are of the mixed type, e.g., electromechanical, hydromechanical, etc Each subsystem within a mixed system can be modeled as single discipline system first. The subsystems are integrated into the entire system applying for example the block diagram rools. Overall mathematical model may be assembled into a system of equations, or a transfer function.

Electro-Mechanical Example u iaia dc RaRa LaLa  Torque-Current: Voltage-Speed: Combing previous equations results in the following mathematical model: B Power Transformation: where K t : torque constant, K b : velocity constant For an ideal motor

Transfer Function of Electromechanical Example Taking Laplace transform of the system’s differential equations with zero initial conditions gives: Eliminating I a yields the input-output transfer function of 2nd order system. u iaia KtKt RaRa LaLa  B

Reduced Order Model Assuming small inductance, L a  0 we get a transfer function of 1st order system.

What is the Control System Engineer trying to achieve? 35 First, to understand well the application in order to apply a suitable control system. A good control system has to – generate a response quickly and without strong oscillations ( good transient response ), – have low error once settled ( good steady-state response ), – and will not oscillate wildly or damage that system ( stability ).

Summary 36 The central problem in control is to find a technically feasible way to act on a given process so that the process behaves, as closely as possible, to some desired behavior. Furthermore, this approximate behavior should be achieved in the face of uncertainty of the process and in the presence of uncontrollable external disturbances acting on the process.
