Lab 08 (Block Diagram Reduction)

This document discusses different block diagram configurations for linear control systems and how to implement them in MATLAB. It describes series, parallel, unity feedback and non-unity feedback configurations. For each configuration it provides the mathematical operation (multiplication, addition or feedback) used and shows examples of implementing the configuration in MATLAB using commands like "series", "parallel" or "feedback".

Lab 08
Block Diagram Reduction

Series configuration
• If the two blocks are connected as shown
below then the blocks are said to be in series.
• It would like multiplying two transfer
functions. The MATLAB command for the such
configuration is “series”.

Series configuration
• The series command is implemented as shown
below:

Example 1
• Given the transfer functions of individual blocks generate the
system transfer function of the block combinations

Parallel configuration
• If the two blocks are connected as shown
below then the blocks are said to be in
parallel.
• It would like adding two transfer functions.

Engr. Ali M Durrani ([email protected]) 5


Parallel configuration
• The MATLAB command for implementing a
parallel configuration is “parallel” as shown
below:

Engr. Ali M Durrani ([email protected]) 6


Example 2
• Given the transfer functions of individual blocks generate the
system transfer function of the block combinations

Hint: use the command [sys] = parallel(sys1,sys2)

Feedback configuration
Unity feedback system
• If the blocks are connected as shown below then the blocks
are said to be in feedback.
• Notice that in the feedback there is no transfer function H(s)
defined.
• When not specified, H(s) is unity.
• Such a system is said to be a unity feedback system.

Feedback configuration
Unity feedback system
• The MATLAB command for implementing a
feedback system is “feedback” as shown
below:

Example 3
• Given a unity feedback system as shown in the figure, obtain
the overall transfer function using MATLAB:

Feedback configuration
Non-unity feedback system
• When H(s) is non-unity or specified, such a
system is said to be a non-unity feedback
system as shown below:

Engr. Ali M Durrani ([email protected]) 11


Feedback configuration
Non-unity feedback system
• A non-unity feedback system is implemented
in MATLAB using the same “feedback”
command as shown:

Example 4
• Given a non-unity feedback system as shown in the figure,
obtain the overall transfer function using MATLAB
