Control Systems
Control Systems
Objective :
In this course it is aimed to introduce to the students the principles and applications of control systems
in every day life. The basic concepts of block diagram reduction, time domain analysis solutions to
time invariant systems and also deals with the different aspects of stability analysis of systems in
frequency domain and time domain.
UNIT - I:
Itroduction: Concepts of Control Systems- Open Loop and closed loop control systems and their
differences- Different examples of control systems- Classification of control systems, Feed-Back
Characteristics, Effects of feedback. Mathematical models – Differential equations, Impulse Response
and transfer functions - Translational and Rotational mechanical systems.
UNIT - II:
UNIT- III:
Time Response Analysis: Standard test signals - Time response of first order systems –
Characteristic Equation of Feedback control systems, Transient response of second order systems -
Time domain specifications – Steady state response - Steady state errors and error constants –
Effects of proportional derivative, proportional integral systems.
UNIT - IV:
Stability Analysis in S-Domain: The concept of stability – Routh’s stability criterion – qualitative
stability and conditional stability – limitations of Routh’s stability
Root Locus Technique: The root locus concept - construction of root loci-effects of adding poles and
zeros to G(s)H(s) on the root loci. Basics of PID controllers.

After going through this course the syudent gets a thorough knowledge on open loop and close loop
control systems, concept of feedback in control systems, mathematical modeling and transfer function
derivations of translational and rotational systems, Transfer functions of Synchros, AC and DC servo
motors, Transfer function representation through block diagram algebra and signal flow graphs, time
response analysis of different ordered systems through their characterostoc equation and time-
domain specifications, stability analysis of control systems in S-domain through R-H criteria and root-
locus techniques, frequency response analysis through bode diagrams, with which he/she can able to
apply the above conceptual things to real-world electrical and electronics problems and applications.
