3. 3 Definition of a control system;   The control system consists of subsystems and process (or plant) assembled for the purpose of controlling the output with desired performance, given a specified input. 1.1 Introduction.

4. 4 Cont’d… Advantages of control systems;   Can move large objects with precision; for example (i) elevator, (ii) radar antenna to pickup strong radio signal and (iii) robot to operate in the dangerous environment.   Example: (i) Elevator When pressed fourth-floor from first floor, the elevator rises to the fourth floor with a speed and floor-leveling accuracy design for passenger comfort.

5. 5 (a) Sub-system and System subsystem subsystemsubsystem   Subsystem is part of the system that is grouped for a certain function   System is a combination of physical and non-physical components that are configured to serve certain tasks to maintain the output (b) Plantsubsystem inputoutput   Plant is a subsystem where an output signal is derived from the input signal blower room thermostat plant 1.2 Basic Terminologies.

7. 7 Cont’d… (d) System Response  Ability of system to achieve desired result is measured in terms of system response: comparison of output versus input.  Transient response.  Steady State Response.  Steady State Error.

8. 8   Disturbance is the unwanted signal that may sway the output.   Controller is a subsystem that is used to ensure the output signal follows the input signal.   The Open-Loop System cannot compensate for any disturbance that add to the system.   Example; bread toaster. 1.3 Open Loop System.

9. 9   The Close-Loop (feedback control) System can overcome the problem of the Open Loop System in term of sensitivity to disturbance and inability to correct the disturbance. 1.4 Close-Loop System.

10. 10 The design of a control system follows these steps; Step 1: Transform Requirement into a Physical System. Step 2: Draw the Functional Block Diagram. Step 3: Create the Schematic. Step 4: Develop the Mathematical Model or Block Diagram. Step 5: Reduce the Block Diagram. Step 6: Analyze and Design. 1.5 The Design Process.

11. 11   Transfer function is the ratio of the output over the input variables.   The output signal can then be derived as; C = GR (a) Multi-variables. 1.7 Block Diagram.

20. 20 Transient state   A state whereby the system response after a perturbation before the response approach to a steady condition Steady state   A state whereby the system response becomes steady after a transient state. Stability   The condition of the steady state. If the response converges to a finite value then it is said to be in a stable condition and if the response diverges, it is known to be unstable.   A system must be stable in order to produce the proper transient and steady state response.   Transient response is important because it effects the speed of the system and influence human patience and comfort. 1.10 Design Analysis.
