To Perform A Block Diagram Reduction Using MATLAB - Matlab Examples

The document describes using MATLAB to reduce a block diagram of a control system and find its transfer function. It includes: 1) A block diagram with transfer functions G1(s), G2(s), G3(s), G4(s) representing elements of a feedback control system. 2) A MATLAB program that uses sumblk to define relationships between block inputs/outputs, connects the blocks, and calculates the overall transfer function from input R(s) to output YM(s). 3) The program then finds the impulse, step, and ramp responses of the reduced system.

To perform a block diagram reduction


usingMATLAB
Its not convenient to derive a complex transfer function for a complex control system, therefore, the
transfer function of each element of a control system is represented by a block diagram and the concerned
system mentioned in the block represents the transfer function of the element. This symbolic
representation in short form gives a pictorial representation relating the output and the input of a control
system based on cause and eect approach.

Simple Block Diagram

Block diagram shown above. Here G1(s) and G2(s) represents the transfer function of the individual
elements of a control system. The system given is a feedback system or can also be called a closed loop
system. The output signal C(s) is fed back to be compared with the input R(s) , the dierence E(s)=[R(s) C(S)]
is actuating signal or error signal.

Problem: To reduce the given block diagram using sumblk and Ind impulse,step and ramp response.
