Introduction to Control System

1. Define the following:


A. System B. Plant C. Controller D. Input E. Output F. Control System
G. Disturbance
2. Define the following Control Systems and give example
A. Time-Invariant and Time-Variant
B. Linear and Non-Linear
C. Causal and Non-Causal
D. Open-Loop and Closed-Loop
E. Static and Dynamic System
F. SISO and MIMO system
3. Why we build a control system explain the primary reason with example?
Case Study
4. A temperature control system operates by sensing the difference between the thermostat setting
and the actual temperature and then opening a fuel valve an amount proportional to this difference.
Draw a functional closed-loop block diagram and identifying the input and output transducers, the
controller, and the plant. Further, identify the input and output signals of all subsystems previously
described.
5. An aircraft's attitude varies in roll, pitch, and yaw as defined in Figure. Draw a functional
block diagram for a closed-loop system that stabilizes the roll as follows: The system measures
the actual roll angle with a gyro and compares the actual roll angle with the desired roll angle.
The ailerons respond to the roll angle error by undergoing an angular deflection. The aircraft
responds to this angular deflection, producing a roll angle rate. Identify the input and output
transducers, the controller, and the plant. Further, identify the nature of each signal.
6. A water level control system is used to maintain the water level in a storage tank at a desired
level. The system consists of a water level sensor that detects the water level in the tank and a
valve that regulates the flow of water into the tank. Draw a functional closed-loop block diagram
for the system and identify the input and output transducers, the controller, and the plant.
Additionally, identify the input and output signals of each subsystem in the system.
7. Describe control system design process?
8. What is mathematical modeling, and explain why is it important for control engineers? What
are the different types of physical systems that can be modeled mathematically? What are the steps
involved in developing a mathematical model of a physical system?
