Lab Session 09
Objective:
To utilize SIMULINK for developing control systems with practical applications

Theory:
SIMULINK is a powerful tool for developing control systems with practical applications. It is a
graphical programming environment that allows you to model, simulate, and analyze dynamic
systems. Here's a step-by-step guide to utilizing SIMULINK for developing control systems:

1- Familiarize yourself with SIMULINK: Start by understanding the basics of SIMULINK.


Learn about its interface, blocks, and how to connect them to create a system model. You
can find tutorials, documentation, and examples on the MathWorks website or within the
SIMULINK software itself.
2- Define your control system requirements: Clearly define the requirements and objectives
of your control system. This includes specifying the desired system behavior, performance
criteria, input-output relationships, and any constraints or limitations.
3- Model the system: Create a SIMULINK model of your control system. Identify the
components and dynamics of the system, such as sensors, actuators, plants, and controllers.
Represent each component using appropriate SIMULINK blocks and connect them together
to form the system model.
4- Configure block parameters: Set the parameters of each block in your model according
to the system's specifications. This may involve adjusting gain values, time constants,
sampling rates, or other relevant parameters. You can also use MATLAB scripts or
workspace variables to define block parameters dynamically.
5- Implement the control algorithm: Determine the appropriate control algorithm for your
system based on the control objectives. This could be a PID controller, state-space
controller, fuzzy logic controller, or any other suitable technique. Implement the control
algorithm using SIMULINK blocks or custom MATLAB functions.
6- Simulate and validate the model: Run simulations to evaluate the behavior and
performance of your control system. Define suitable input signals to represent the system's
operating conditions and observe the corresponding output responses. Analyze the
simulation results and compare them against your control objectives to verify the system's
effectiveness.
7- Optimize and tune the control system: If the control system doesn't meet the desired
performance criteria, you may need to optimize and tune the controller parameters. Use
SIMULINK's built-in tools such as the Control System Toolbox or System Identification
Toolbox to perform system identification, parameter estimation, and controller tuning.
8- Implement the control system: Once you're satisfied with the simulation results and have
fine-tuned the controller, it's time to implement the control system in the real world.
Generate code from your SIMULINK model using tools like Simulink Coder or Embedded

Coder. This code can then be deployed to a target hardware platform or integrated into your
existing control infrastructure.
9- Test and validate the real-world implementation: Test the implemented control system
on the physical plant or hardware. Compare the actual system's behavior and performance
with the expected results obtained from simulation. Make any necessary adjustments or
refinements to achieve the desired control objectives.
10- Iterate and improve: Control system development is often an iterative process.
Continuously gather feedback, monitor the system's performance, and refine the control
algorithm as needed. SIMULINK allows you to quickly iterate on your model and make
improvements based on real-world observations.

Exercise Task:

Solve the Van der Pol Differential Equation given in figure.


The requirement from Students:
1- Students should read the lab handout carefully, and perform everything using
SIMULINK.
2- They should perform the complete exercise, simulate it and save the model also.
3- They should attach the SIMULINK model and as well as the simulation response of
their practice. Results will be similar to those given in the handout.
