Chapter 1 Introduction 1.5 The Design Process

The document outlines the 6 key steps in the design process for feedback control systems: 1) Transform requirements into a physical system specification 2) Draw a functional block diagram of the system components and interconnections 3) Create a schematic diagram and refine the approximations 4) Develop a mathematical model using physical laws and simplifying assumptions 5) Reduce a block diagram of subsystems into a single block for analysis 6) Analyze the system response and design additional hardware if needed to meet specifications.

Chapter 1 Introduction

1.5 The Design Process

Order sequence for the design of feedback control systems


Step 1: Transform Requirements Into a Physical System
Step 2: Draw a Functional Block Diagram
Step 3: Create a Schematic
Step 4: Develop a Mathematical Model (Block Diagram)
Step 5: Reduce the Block Diagram
Step 6: Analyze and Design

Step 1: Transform Requirements Into a Physical System


Using the requirements, determine design specifications, such as:
1. Desired transient response
2. Desired Steady-state accuracy

Step 2: Draw a Functional Block Diagram


Translates a qualitative description of the system into a functional block diagram
Block diagram:
1. Describes the component parts of the system (e.g. function and/or hardware)
2. Shows their interconnection
Produce a detailed layout of the system:

Step 3: Create a Schematic


1. Transforms the physical system into a schematic diagram
2. Make approximations about the system
3. Neglect certain phenomena
4. Starts with a simple schematic representation
5. Checks the assumptions through analysis and computer simulation.
6. If the schematic is too simple (i.e. does not account for observed behavior) → adds phenomena that
were previously assumed negligible.

Step 4: Develop a Mathematical Model (Block Diagram)


Model the system mathematically, using:
1. Physical laws, (e.g. Kirchhoff’s laws for electrical networks, Newton’s law for mechanical systems)
2. Simplifying assumptions

Mathematical models describe the relationship between the input and output of dynamic systems.
Examples of mathematical model:
1. Linear, time-invariant differential equation
2. Nonlinear, time-varying differential equation
3. Partial differential equations
4. Transfer function
5. State-space representation

Simple mathematical model → low-order equation


Complex mathematical model → high-order equation (i.e nonlinear, time-varying, or partial differential
equations.)
Step 5: Reduce the Block Diagram
Sub system models are interconnected to form block diagrams of larger systems
Each block has a mathematical description.

To evaluate system response, reduce large block diagram to a single block

Analyze and design the system.

Step 6: Analyze and Design


Analyzes the system to see if the response specifications and performance requirements can be met.
If specifications cannot be met → designs additional hardware.
Test input signals (analytically and during testing) are used to verify the design.

Examples of standard test inputs signals:


1. Impulses
2. Steps
3. Ramps
4. Parabolas
5. Sinusoids
