Identification of A 2nd Order System

This document outlines a collaborative activity between Ferhat Abbas University in Algeria and Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico to identify and model a second-order electronic system using operational amplifiers. The objectives are to simulate the plant using a circuit simulator, derive the system's dynamic equations, calculate its transfer function, model it in state space, and validate the model by comparing its response to experimental data from the circuit simulator. Students are asked to perform the simulation and calculations to characterize the second-order low-pass filter circuit and validate that the obtained model closely matches the simulator results.

Design of Control Systems - Simulation activity, part 1

" Identification of a 2nd order system”

OBJECTIVE
Identify and validate an electronic plant/process for further control design.

INTRODUCTION
The practical activities help to reinforce the theoretical and simulation topics reviewed in the courses. In this sense,
operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) are electronic elements that allow the construction of plants that can be applied in
automatic control. These devices are used intensively in electronic systems, and more specifically in blocks/materials where
their characteristics and a series of applications around them are analyzed. Moreover, Op-Amps are studied because they
can be used in the construction of first and second order plants, systems widely applied in the control of industrial processes.

SECOND ORDER SYSTEMS WITH OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS


Second order plant with an overdamped response. The electronic circuit is a second order active low-pass filter.

Proposed relative damping constant = 1.2 (verify this condition)

Proposed values:
R1(MΩ) R2(MΩ) C1(µF) C2(µF)
1.601 1.601 0.82 0.18

NOTE: The capacitors in both circuits are ceramic.

6- Validate the obtained model. Given the same input signal, compare the “experimental
data” from FALSTAD with the theoretical model (simulation in MATLAB-Simulink).
Comment on the results. How close is the model to the experimental data?

The model is quite close to the data obtained experimentally. However, there is some
separation of the step input, while in Falstad's simulation the function rose a little above the
reference, but then stabilized above the step input. Therefore, perhaps it would be
convenient to leave the value of Gs as 1, that is, you would have a plant with unitary gain.
