Basic elements in control systems.
Introduction :
A control system manages commands, directs or regulates the behavior of other devices
or systems using control loops.
It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a
domestic boiler to large Industrial control systems which are used for controlling
processes or machines.
A control system is a system, which provides the desired response by controlling the
output.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Signals and Systems
Amplifier
Examples − Traffic lights control system, washing machine Traffic lights control system is
an example of control system.
Here, a sequence of input signal is applied to this control system and the output is one of
the three lights that will be on for some duration of time.
During this time, the other two lights will be off. Based on the traffic study at a particular
junction, the on and off times of the lights can be determined.
Accordingly, the input signal controls the output. So, the traffic lights control system
operates on time basis.
Basic elements in control systems:
There are four basic elements of a typical motion control system. These are the controller,
amplifier, actuator, and feedback.
Controller:
Controller section of the AC drive is the brain if the system.
It typically consists of a microprocessor based CPU and memory that is used to process
data once it is collected and stored.
This controller section of the AC drive will process information received from the inputs
of the drive and also from the feedback signals that will usually be a representation of the
position or speed of the actuator.
Amplifier:
The amplifier section of the drive receives the commands from the control section.
The amplifier then generates the power signal necessary for the actuator to drive the load
with the correct speed and direction.
Actuator:
The actuator portion of the system will most often be an induction AC motor or
permanent magnet AC motor with windings and insulation that are specially designed to
handle the heat and stress generated by a pulse width modulated output.
Feedback:
The feedback element of the motion control system may be handled by the system in a
number of ways depending on the information needed.
Encoders or resolvers can be used to provide feedback signals from the actuator in a
closed loop control or Hall Effect sensors can provide feedback from the output of the AC
drive in an open loop control.

Open and closed loop systems.
Introduction :
In recent years, control systems have gained an increasingly importance in the development
and advancement of the modern civilization and technology.
Disregard the complexity of the system; it consists of an input (objective), the control system
and its output (result).
Practically our day-to-day activities are affected by some type of control systems.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
System, Feedback & Error detector
Detailed content of the Lecture:
There are two main branches of control systems:
1) Open-loop systems
2) Closed-loop systems.
1. Open-loop systems:
The open-loop system is also called the non-feedback system. This is the simpler of the two
systems.
In this open-loop system, there is no way to ensure the actual speed is close to the desired
speed automatically.
The actual speed might be way off the desired speed because of the wind speed and/or road
conditions, such as uphill or downhill etc.

Transfer function
Introduction :
The transfer function of a system is defined as the ratio of Laplace transform of output to
the Laplace transform of input where all the initial conditions are zero.
That is, the transfer function of the system multiplied by the input function gives the
output function of the system.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Laplace transform
Differential equation
Detailed content of the Lecture:
A transfer function represents the relationship between the output signal of a control
system and the input signal, for all possible input values.
A block diagram is a visualization of the control system which uses blocks to represent the
transfer function, and arrows which represent the various input and output signals.
For any control system, there exists a reference input known as excitation or cause which
operates through a transfer operation (i.e. the transfer function) to produce an effect
resulting in controlled output or response.
Thus the cause and effect relationship between the output and input is related to each
other through a transfer function.
In a Laplace Transform, if the input is represented by R(s) and the output is represented
by C(s), then the transfer function will be:
That is, the transfer function of the system multiplied by the input function gives the
output function of the system.
Procedure for determining the transfer function of a control system are as follows:
There are major two ways of obtaining a transfer function for the control system. The ways
are:
Block Diagram Method: It is not convenient to derive a complete transfer function for a
complex control system. Therefore the transfer function of each element of a control
system is represented by a block diagram. Block diagram reduction techniques are
applied to obtain the desired transfer function.
Signal Flow Graphs: The modified form of a block diagram is a signal flow graph. Block
diagram gives a pictorial representation of a control system. Signal flow graph further
shortens the representation of a control system.

Topic of Lecture:
Electrical analogy of thermal systems
Introduction :
There are two fundamental physical elements that make up thermal networks, thermal
resistances and thermal capacitance.
There are also three sources of heat, a power source, a temperature source, and fluid flow.
In practice temperature when we discuss temperature we will use degrees Celsius (°C), while
SI unit for temperature is to use Kelvins (0°K = -273.15°C).
However, we will generally be interested in temperature differences, not absolute
temperatures (much as electrical circuits deal with voltage differences).
Therefore, we will generally take a reference temperature (which we will label T1), and
measure all temperatures relative to this reference.
We will also assume that the reference temperature is constant.
Thus, if T1 is =25°C, and the temperature of interest is Ti=32°C, we will say that Ti=7° above
reference.
Note: this is consistent with electrical systems in which we assign one voltage to be ground
(and assume that it is constant) and assign it the value of zero volts. We then measure all
voltages relative to ground.
Thermal resistance:
Consider the situation in which there is a wall, one side of which is at a temperature T1, with
the other side at temperature T2. The wall has a thermal resistance of R12.
Thermal-electrical analogy of conduction heat transfer.
Thermal capacitance:
In addition to thermal resistance, objects can also have thermal capacitance (also called
thermal mass).
The thermal capacitance of an object is a measure of how much heat it can store.
If an object has thermal capacitance its temperature will rise as heat flows into the object, and
the temperature will lower as heat flows out.
To understand this, envision a rock in the sun.
During the day heat goes in to the rock from the sunlight, and the temperature of the rock
increases as energy is stored in the rock as an increased temperature.
At night energy is released, and the rock cools down.

Block diagram reduction techniques
Introduction :
A control system may consist of a number of components.
A block diagram of a system is a pictorial representation of the function performed by each
component and of the flow of signals.
Such a diagram depicts the inter-relationships which exists between the various components.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Signal system
Transfer function
Detailed content of the Lecture:
The basic elements of block diagram such as
1. Block
2. Summing point
3. Branch point
Block:
The transfer function of a component is represented by a block.
Block has single input and single output.
The following figure shows a block having input X(s), output Y(s) and the transfer function
G(s).
Summing Point:
The summing point is represented with a circle having cross (X) inside it.
It has two or more inputs and single output.
It produces the algebraic sum of the inputs.
It also performs the summation or subtraction or combination of summation and subtraction
of the inputs based on the polarity of the inputs.
Let us see these three operations one by one.
The following figure shows the summing point with two inputs (A, B) and one output (Y).
Here, the inputs A and B have a positive sign.
So, the summing point produces the output, Y as sum of A and B. i.e.,Y = A + B.
Branch point:
The take-off point is a point from which the same input signal can be passed through more
than one branch.
That means with the help of take-off point, we can apply the same input to one or more blocks,
summing points.
In the following figure, the take-off point is used to connect the same input, R(s) to two more
blocks.

Topic of Lecture:
Signal flow graphs
Introduction :
The block diagram reduction process takes more time for complicated systems.
Because, we have to draw the (partially simplified) block diagram after each step.
So, to overcome this drawback, use signal flow graphs (representation).
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Signal system
Transfer function
Detailed content of the Lecture:
Signal flow graph of control system is further simplification of block diagram of control
system.
Here, the blocks of transfer function, summing symbols and take off points are eliminated by
branches and nodes.
The transfer function is referred as transmittance in signal flow graph.
Let us take an example of equation y = Kx.
This equation can be represented with block diagram as below.
The same equation can be represented by signal flow graph, where x is input variable node, y
is output variable node and the transmittance of the branch connecting directly these two
nodes.
Key Definitions:
Node: It represents the system variable which equals to the sum of all signals. Outgoing
signal from the node does not affect the value of node variables.
Branch: Branch is defined as a path from one node to another node, in the direction
indicated by the branch arrow.
Input node or source: It is the node which have only outgoing branches.
Output node or sink: It is a node which has only incoming branches.
Forward Path: It is a path from an input node to an output node in the direction of
branch arrow.
Loop: It is a path that starts and ends at the same node.
Non-touching loop: Loop is said to be non-touching if they do not have any common
node.
Forward path gain: A product of all branches gain along the forward path is called
Forward path gain.
Loop Gain: Loop gain is the product of branch gain which travels in the loop.
Δ=1−(sum of all individual loop gains) +(sum of gain products of all possible two nontouching
loops) −(sum of gain products of all possible three nontouching loops)+... Δi is obtained from
Δ by removing the loops which are touching the ith forward path.

Introduction :
If the output of control system for an input varies with respect to time, then it is called
the time response of the control system. The time response consists of two parts.
Transient response
Steady state response
The transient response will be zero for large values of ‘t’. Ideally, this value of ‘t’ is infinity and
practically, it is five times constant.
Mathematically, we can write it as
Steady state Response:
The part of the time response that remains even after the transient response has zero value
for large values of ‘t’ is known as steady state response.
This means, the transient response will be zero even during the steady state.
Let us find the transient and steady state terms of the time response of the control
system c(t)=10+5e−t.
Here, the second term 5e−t5e−t will be zero as t denotes infinity. So, this is the transient
term.
The first term 10 remains even as t approaches infinity. So, this is the steady state term.

Introduction :
The response up to the settling time is known as transient response and the response after the settling
time is known as steady state response.
The different time domains are
o Delay time
o Rise time
o Peak time
o Peak overshoot
o Settling time
It is the time required for the response to reach half of its final value from the zero instant.
It is denoted by td.
Rise Time:
It is the time required for the response to rise from 0% to 100% of its final value. This is
applicable for the under-damped systems.
Peak Time:
It is the time required for the response to reach the peak value for the first time.
Peak Overshoot:
Peak overshoot Mp is defined as the deviation of the response at peak time from the final
value of response. It is also called the maximum overshoot.
Settling Time:
It is the time required for the response to reach the steady state and stay within the
specified tolerance bands around the final value.

Topic of Lecture: Impulse and Step Response analysis of second order systems
Introduction :
The order of the system is defined by the number of independent energy storage elements
in the system, and intuitively by the highest order of the linear differential equation that
describes the system.
First order of system is defined as first derivative with respect to time.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
1.Time domain
2.Frequency domain
Detailed content of the Lecture:
A first order differential equation contains a first order derivative but no
derivative higher than first order – the order of a differential equation is the order of the
highestorder derivative present in the equation.
First order control system tell us the speed of the response that what duration it reaches to
the steady state.
If the input is unit step, R(s) = 1/s so the output is step response C(s). The general
equation of 1st order control system is , i.e
is transfer function.
There are two poles, one is input pole at the origin s = 0 and other is system pole at s = -a,
this pole is at negative axis of pole plot.
C(s)=(1sT+1)R(s)
The unit impulse response, c(t) is an exponential decaying signal for positive values of ‘t’ and it
is zero for negative values of ‘t’.
Unit ramp response:
The unit ramp responsec(t) has both the transient and the steady state terms.
The transient term in the unit ramp response is -
ctr(t)=Te−(tT)u(t)ctr(t)=Te−(tT)u(t)
The steady state term in the unit ramp response is -
css(t)=(t−T)u(t)css(t)=(t−T)u(t)
The following figure shows the unit ramp response.
The unit ramp response, c(t) follows the unit ramp input signal for all positive values of t.
But, there is a deviation of T units from the input signal.
Time Constant:
It can be defined as the time it takes for the step response to rise up to 63% or 0.63 of it’s
final value.
We call it as t = 1/a. If we take reciprocal of time constant, its unit is 1/seconds, or
frequency.
Rise Time:
Rise time is defined as the time for waveform to go from 0.1 to 0.9 or 10% to 90% of its
final value.
Settling Time:
It is defined as the time for the response to reach and stay within 2% of its final value. We
can limit the percentage up to 5% of its final value.
The equation of settling time is given by: Ts = 4/a.
A pole of the input function generates the form of the forced response. It is because of pole
at the origin which generates a step function at output.
A pole of the transfer function generates the natural response. It the pole of the system.
A pole on the real axis generates an exponential frequency of the form e-at. Thus, the
farther the pole to the origin, the faster the exponential transient response will decay to
zero.
Using poles and zeros, we can speed up the performance of system and get the desired
output.
The order of a control system is determined by the power of ‘s’ in the denominator of its
transfer function.
If the power of s in the denominator of the transfer function of a control system is 2, then
the system is said to be second order control system.

Introduction :
System whose input-output equation is a second order differential equation is
called Second Order System.
There are a number of factors that make second order systems important.
They are simple and exhibit oscillations and overshoot.
Higher order systems are based on second order systems.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
1.Step response
2.Poles and Zeroes
Detailed content of the Lecture:
The order of a control system is determined by the power of ‘s’ in the denominator of its
transfer function.
If the power of s in the denominator of the transfer function of a control system is 2, then
the system is said to be second order control system.
The general expression of the transfer function of a second order control system is given as
Here, ζ and ωn are the damping ratio and natural frequency of the system, respectively
(we will learn about these two terms in detail later on).
The time response expression of a second order control system subject to unit step input is
The reciprocal of constant of negative power of exponential term in the error part of the
output signal is actually responsible for damping of the output response. Here in this
equation it is ζωn.
The reciprocal of constant of negative power of exponential term in error signal is known
as time constant.
Under damped response:
when the value of ζ (also know as damping ratio) is less than unity, the oscillation of the
response decays exponentially with a time constant 1/ζωn. This is called under damped
response.
Over damped response:
On the other hand. when ζ is greater than unity, the response of the unit step input given
to the system, does not exhibit oscillating part in it. This is called over damped response.
Critical Damping:
When damping ratio is unity that is ζ = 1. In that situation the damping of the response is
governed by the natural frequency ωn only. The actual damping at that condition is
known as critical damping of the response.
Damping ratio:
The ratio of time constant of critical damping to that of actual damping is known as
damping ratio. As the time constant of time response of control system is 1/ζωn when ζ≠ 1
and time constant is 1/ωn when ζ = 1.

Introduction :
The coefficient of error is a standard statistical value that is used extensively in the
stereological literature.
The definition of the CE is rather simple. It is defined as the standard error of the mean of
repeated estimates divided by the mean.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
1.Steady state
2.Transient
Detailed content of the Lecture:
The deviation of the output of control system from desired response during steady state is
known as steady state error. It is represented as essess. We can find steady state error
using the final value theorem as follows.
ess=limt→∞e(t)=lims→0sE(s)
When the reference input is applied to the given system then the information given about
the level of desired output is observed.
The actual output is feed back to the input side and it is compared with the input signal.
Thus steady state error can also be defined as the difference between the reference input
and the feedback signal.
The dynamic error coefficient provides a simple way of estimating error signal to arbitrary
inputs and the steady sate error without solving the system differential equation.

The drawback in static error coefficients is that it does not show the variation of error
with time and input should be a standard value.
The generalized error coefficients gives the steady state error as a function of time.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
1.Error in system
2.Steady state error
Detailed content of the Lecture:
The deviation of the output of control system from desired response during steady state is
known as steady state error. It is represented as essess. We can find steady state error
using the final value theorem as follows.
ess=limt→∞e(t)=lims→0sE(s)
When the reference input is applied to the given system then the information given about
the level of desired output is observed.
The actual output is feed back to the input side and it is compared with the input signal.
The error signal in s-domain ,E(s)can be expressed as a product of two s-domain functions
E(s) = R(s)
1+G(s)H(s)
E(s)= F(s)R(s)
Where e(t)= error signal in time domain
f(t)=Inverse laplace transform of F(s)
r(t)=input signal in time domain
The response that remain after the transient response has died out is called steady state
response.
The steady sate response is important to find the accuracy of the output.
The difference between steady state response and desired response gives the steady state
error.
The control system has following steady state errors for change in positions, velocity and
acceleration.
These constants are called static error coefficient. They have the ability to minimize the
steady error.

Introduction :
In feedback control system a controller may be introduced to modify the error signal and
to achieve better control action.
The introduction of controllers will modify the transient response and steady state error of
the system.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
1.Controller
2.Gain
Detailed content of the Lecture:
Proportional:
The motor current is set in proportion to the existing error.
However, this method fails if, for instance, the arm has to lift different weights: a greater
weight needs a greater force applied for a same error on the down side, but a smaller force
if the error is on the upside.
Integral:
An integral term increases action in relation not only to the error but also the time for
which it has persisted.
So, if applied force is not enough to bring the error to zero, this force will be increased as
time passes.
A pure "I" controller could bring the error to zero, but it would be both slow reacting at the
start (because action would be small at the beginning, needing time to get significant) and
brutal (the action increases as long as the error is positive, even if the error has started to
approach zero).
Derivative:
A derivative term does not consider the error (meaning it cannot bring it to zero: a pure D
controller cannot bring the system to its setpoint), but the rate of change of error, trying to
bring this rate to zero.
Effects of proportional controller:
Proportional–integral–derivative controller:
The distinguishing feature of the PID controller is the ability to use the three control
terms of proportional, integral and derivative influence on the controller output to apply
accurate and optimal control.
The block diagram on the right shows the principles of how these terms are generated and
applied.
Term P is proportional to the current value of the SP − PV error e(t).
Term I accounts for past values of the SP − PV error and integrates them over time to
produce the I term.
Term D is a best estimate of the future trend of the SP − PV error, based on its current
rate of change.
P.I Controller:
A P.I Controller is a feedback control loop that calculates an error signal by taking the
difference between the output of a system, which in this case is the power being drawn
from the battery, and the set point.
The integral mode of the controller is the last term of the equation. Its function is to
integrate or continually sum the controller error, e(t), over time.

Introduction :
Time-domain and frequency-domain analysis commands let you compute and visualize
SISO and MIMO system responses such as Bode plots, Nichols plots, step responses, and
impulse responses.
You can also extract system characteristics such as rise time and settling time, overshoot,
and stability margins. Most linear analysis commands can either return response data or
generate response plots.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
1.Time domain
2.Frequency domain
Detailed content of the Lecture:
For linear feedback systems, stability can be assessed by looking at the poles of the closed-
loop transfer function.
Gain and phase margins measure how much gain or phase variation at the gain crossover
frequency will cause a loss of stability.
Together, these two quantities give an estimate of the safety margin for closed-loop
stability. The smaller the stability margins, the more fragile stability.

Frequency Response
Introduction :
The frequency response of a system is a frequency dependent function which expresses how a
sinusoidal signal of a given frequency on the system input is transferred through the system.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Signals and Systems
Amplifier
Detailed content of the Lecture:
Time-varying signals at least periodical signals —which excite systems, as the reference
(set point) signal or a disturbance in a control system or measurement signals which are
inputs signals to signal filters, can be regarded as consisting of a sum of frequency
components.
Each frequency component is a sinusoidal signal having certain amplitude and a certain
frequency. (The Fourier series expansion or the Fourier transform can be used to express
these frequency components quantitatively.)
The frequency response expresses how each of these frequency components is transferred
through the system.
Some components may be amplified, others may be attenuated, and there will be some
phase lag through the system.
The frequency response is an important tool for analysis and design of signal filters (as
low pass filters and high pass filters), and for analysis, and to some extent, design, of
control systems.

Plots of the magnitude and phase characteristics are used to fully describe the frequency
response
A Bode plot is a (semilog) plot of the transfer function magnitude and phase angle as a
function of frequency. The gain magnitude is many times expressed in terms of decibels
(dB)
db = 20 log 10 A
A Bode plot is a graph commonly used in control system engineering to determine the
stability of a control system.
A Bode plot maps the frequency response of the system through two graphs – the Bode
magnitude plot (expressing the magnitude in decibels) and the Bode phase plot (expressing
the phase shift in degrees)
Bode plots offer a relatively simple method to calculate system stability, they can not
handle transfer functions with right half plane singularities (unlike Nyquist stability
criterion).
Gain Margin
The greater the Gain Margin (GM), the greater the stability of the system. The gain margin
refers to the amount of gain, which can be increased or decreased without making the
system unstable. It is usually expressed as a magnitude in dB.
We can usually read the gain margin directly from the Bode plot (as shown in the diagram
below). This is done by calculating the vertical distance between the magnitude curve (on
the Bode magnitude plot) and the x-axis at the frequency where the Bode phase plot =
180°. This point is known as the phase crossover frequency.
Phase Margin
The greater the Phase Margin (PM), the greater will be the stability of the system. The
phase margin refers to the amount of phase, which can be increased or decreased
without making the system unstable. It is usually expressed as a phase in degrees.
We can usually read the phase margin directly from the Bode plot (as shown in the
diagram above).
This is done by calculating the vertical distance between the phase curve (on the Bode
phase plot) and the x-axis at the frequency where the Bode magnitude plot = 0 dB.
This point is known as the gain crossover frequency.
Bode Plot Stability
Below are a summarised list of criterion relevant to drawing Bode plots (and calculating
their stability):
Gain Margin: Greater will the gain margin greater will be the stability of the system. It
refers to the amount of gain, which can be increased or decreased without making the
system unstable. It is usually expressed in dB.
Phase Margin: Greater will the phase margin greater will be the stability of the system. It
refers to the phase which can be increased or decreased without making the system
unstable. It is usually expressed in phase.
Gain Crossover Frequency: It refers to the frequency at which magnitude curve cuts the
zero dB axis in the bode plot.
Phase Crossover Frequency: It refers to the frequency at which phase curve cuts the
negative times the 180o axis in this plot.
Corner Frequency: The frequency at which the two asymptotes cuts or meet each other is
known as break frequency or corner frequency.
Resonant Frequency: The value of frequency at which the modulus of G (jω) has a peak
value is known as the resonant frequency.
Factors: Every loop transfer function {i.e. G(s) × H(s)} product of various factors like
constant term K, Integral factors (jω), first-order factors ( 1 + jωT)(± n) where n is an
integer, second order or quadratic factors.
Slope: There is a slope corresponding to each factor and slope for each factor is expressed
in the dB per decade.
Angle: There is an angle corresponding to each factor and angle for each factor is
expressed in the degrees.
Keeping all the above points in mind, we are able to draw a Bode plot for any kind of
control system. Now let us discuss the procedure of drawing a Bode plot:
Substitute the s = jω in the open loop transfer function G(s) × H(s).
Find the corresponding corner frequencies and tabulate them.
Now we are required one semi-log graph chooses a frequency range such that the plot
should start with the frequency which is lower than the lowest corner frequency.
Mark angular frequencies on the x-axis, mark slopes on the left hand side of the y-axis by
marking a zero slope in the middle and on the right hand side mark phase angle by taking
-180o in the middle.
Calculate the gain factor and the type or order of the system.
Now calculate slope corresponding to each factor.
2. Integral factor
Now sketch the line with the help of the corresponding slope of the given factor.
Change the slope at every corner frequency by adding the slope of the next factor. You
will get the magnitude plot.
Calculate the gain margin.
It is based on the asymptotic approximation, which provides a simple method to plot the
logarithmic magnitude curve.
The multiplication of various magnitude appears in the transfer function can be treated as
an addition, while division can be treated as subtraction as we are using a logarithmic
scale.
With the help of this plot only we can directly comment on the stability of the system
without doing any calculations.
Bode plots provides relative stability in terms of gain margin and phase margin.
It also covers from low frequency to high frequency range.

To sketch the polar plot of G(jω) for the entire range of frequency ω, i.e., from 0 to

(1) the start of plot where ω = 0,
(2) the end of plot where ω = ∞,
(3) where the plot crosses the real axis, i.e., Im(G(jω)) = 0, and
(4) where the plot crosses the imaginary axis, i.e., Re(G(jω)) = 0.

Type No. determines at what quadrant the polar plot starts.
Order determines at what quadrant the polar plot ends.

Order → Max power of‗s‘ in the denominator polynomial of the transfer function.
GAIN MARGIN
Gain Margin is defined as ―the factor by which the system gain can be increased to
drive the system to the verge of instability‖.
For stable systems, ωgc< ωpc Magnitude of G(j )H(j ) at ω=ωpc < 1
GM = in positive dB
More positive the GM, more stable is the system.
For marginally stable systems,
ωgc = ωpc
magnitude of G(j )H(j ) at ω=ωpc = 1
GM = 0 dB
For Unstable systems, ωgc> ωpc , magnitude of G(j )H(j ) at ω=ωpc > 1
GM = in negative dB
Gain is to be reduced to make the system stable
PHASE MARGIN
Phase Margin is defined as ― the additional phase lag that can be introduced before
the system becomes unstable‖ .
A‘ be the point of intersection of G(j )H(j ) plot and a unit circle centered at the
origin.
Draw a line connecting the points ‗O‘ & ‗A‘ and measure the phase angle between
the line OA and +ve real axis.
This angle is the phase angle of the system at the gain cross over frequency.
Angle of G(jwgc)H(jw gc) =θ gc
If an additional phase lag of θ PM is introduced at this frequency, then the phase angle
G(jwgc)H(jw gc) will become 180 and the point ‗A‗ coincides with (-1+j0) driving the
system to the verge of instability.
This additional phase lag is known as the Phase Margin. γ= 1800+ angle of G(jwgc)H(jw gc)
γ= 1800 + θ gc
[Since θ gc is measured in CW direction, it is taken as negative] For a stable system, the
phase margin is positive.
A Phase margin close to zero corresponds to highly oscillatory system
A polar plot may be constructed from experimental data or from a system transfer function
If the values of w are marked along the contour, a polar plot has the same
information as a bode plot.
Usually, the shape of a polar plot is of most interest.
Advantage
It can capture the system behavior over the entire frequency range in a single plot
Disadvantage
It can't tell the impact of individual component of open loop transfer function.

Nyquist stability
Introduction :
The Nyquist stability criterion works on the principle of argument. It states that if there
are P poles and Z zeros are enclosed by the ‘s’ plane closed path, then the
corresponding G(s)H(s)G(s)H(s) plane must encircle the origin P−ZP−Z times.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Partial differential equation
Detailed content of the Lecture:
The Nyquist stability criterion works on the principle of argument. It states that if there are
P poles and Z zeros are enclosed by the ‘s’ plane closed path, then the
corresponding G(s)H(s)G(s)H(s) plane must encircle the origin P−ZP−Z times. So, we can
write the number of encirclements N as,
N=P−ZN=P−Z
If the enclosed ‘s’ plane closed path contains only poles, then the direction of the
encirclement in the G(s)H(s)G(s)H(s) plane will be opposite to the direction of the
enclosed closed path in the ‘s’ plane.
If the enclosed ‘s’ plane closed path contains only zeros, then the direction of the
encirclement in the G(s)H(s)G(s)H(s) plane will be in the same direction as that of the
enclosed closed path in the ‘s’ plane.
Let us now apply the principle of argument to the entire right half of the ‘s’ plane by
selecting it as a closed path. This selected path is called the Nyquist contour.
We know that the closed loop control system is stable if all the poles of the closed loop
transfer function are in the left half of the ‘s’ plane. So, the poles of the closed loop transfer
function are nothing but the roots of the characteristic equation. As the order of the
characteristic equation increases, it is difficult to find the roots. So, let us correlate these roots
of the characteristic equation as follows.
The Poles of the characteristic equation are same as that of the poles of the open loop
transfer function.
The zeros of the characteristic equation are same as that of the poles of the closed loop
transfer function.
We know that the open loop control system is stable if there is no open loop pole in the the
right half of the ‘s’ plane.
i.e.,P=0⇒N=−ZP=0⇒N=−Z
We know that the closed loop control system is stable if there is no closed loop pole in the
right half of the ‘s’ plane.
i.e.,Z=0⇒N=PZ=0⇒N=P
Nyquist stability criterion states the number of encirclements about the critical point (1+j0)
must be equal to the poles of characteristic equation, which is nothing but the poles of the
open loop transfer function in the right half of the ‘s’ plane. The shift in origin to (1+j0) gives
the characteristic equation plane.
Locate the poles and zeros of open loop transfer function G(s)H(s)G(s)H(s) in ‘s’ plane.
Draw the polar plot by varying ωω from zero to infinity. If pole or zero present at s =
0, then varying ωω from 0+ to infinity for drawing polar plot.
Draw the mirror image of above polar plot for values of ωω ranging from −∞ to zero
(0− if any pole or zero present at s=0).
The number of infinite radius half circles will be equal to the number of poles or zeros
at origin. The infinite radius half circle will start at the point where the mirror image
of the polar plot ends. And this infinite radius half circle will end at the point where
the polar plot starts.
After drawing the Nyquist plot, we can find the stability of the closed loop control system
using the Nyquist stability criterion. If the critical point (-1+j0) lies outside the encirclement,
then the closed loop control system is absolutely stable.

Description
A Nichols chart displays the magnitude (in dB) plotted against the phase (in degrees) of the system
response. Nichols charts are useful to analyze open- and closed-loop properties of SISO systems,
but offer little insight into MIMO control loops.
This model can be continuous or discrete, SISO or MIMO. In the MIMO case, nichols produces an
array of Nichols charts, each plot showing the response of one particular I/O channel.
The frequency range and gridding are determined automatically based on the system poles and
zeros.
nichols(sys,w) specifies the frequency range or frequency points to be used for the chart.
Frequencies must be in rad/TimeUnit, where TimeUnit is the time units of the input dynamic
system, specified in the TimeUnit property
of sys.nichols(sys1,sys2,...,sysN) or nichols(sys1,sys2,...,sysN,w) superimposes the Nichols charts
of several models on a single figure. All systems must have the same number of inputs and outputs,
but may otherwise be a mix of continuous- and discrete-time systems. You can also specify a
distinctive color, linestyle, and/or marker for each system plot with the
syntax nichols(sys1,'PlotStyle1',...,sysN,'PlotStyleN').
See bode for an example.
[mag,phase,w] = nichols(sys) or [mag,phase] = nichols(sys,w) returns the magnitude and phase (in degrees)
of the frequency response at the frequencies w (in rad/TimeUnit). The outputs mag and phase are 3-D

In order to derive the basic Nichols chart relationships, let us consider the unity-feedback system
illustrated in Figure. The closed-loop transfer function is given by
The whole information is concentrated in one curve as in the Nyquist plot, but on a real rectangular
coordinate system with dB and degree axes as in the Bode plots, so that measurement results can be
entered directly; no calculations necessary, no knowledge of higher mathematics.
Every full revolution of the Nyquist plot is mapped onto another 360-degree wide half-plane in
parallel to the vertical axis such that it can be extended on the left as needed. Nyquist plots of
complicated circuits are almost impossible to interpret, in the Nichols representation the interwoven
Nyquist curve is so to speak unfolded into the left half-planes and easy to interpret.
Gain and phase margins can be read directly, and, like in the Nyquist plot, the closest distances to
the critical frequencies. Necessary changes to the circuit in order to stabilize or improve stability
margins are immediately and clearly obvious.
Due to the logarithmic vertical scale, any gain change just needs a vertical shift.
Nichols Charts are powerful tools for determining closed-loop response from open-loop
measurements. On the other hand, open-loop measurements are often impossible because the gain
and the offset drift of the amplifier may be so high that no input signal can be applied without
saturating it. In such cases, Nichols Charts can be used to convert closed-loop measurements to
open-loop responses. Open-loop measurements are entered into the rectangular grid, a second grid
of contour lines for gain and phase is overlaid from which the closed-loop response can be read;
closed-loop gain is obtained from the gain contour which the curve touches, and the phase from the
phase contour which it intersects.
Example of a Nichols Plot, showing in Figure 1 how the gain and phase margins can be directly
read from the diagram: the phase margin is the distance from the intersection of the curve with the 0
dB axis and the critical - 180-degree point, here 35 degrees. The gain margin is the vertical distance
between the - 180 degree - point and the intersection between a vertical line through the - 180
degree - point and the curve, here 15 dB. The frequency is the parameter along the curve from right
to left. The minimum distance between the - 180 degree. point and the curve indicates the critical
frequency.
Further information about the Nichols Chart can be found in older literature.

Stability
Introduction : ( Maximum 5 sentences)
The stability of a system relates to its response to inputs or disturbances. A system
which remains in a constant state unless affected by an external action and which
returns to a constant state when the external action is removed can be considered to be
stable.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Partial differential equation
If the real parts of all the roots are negative, the system returns to equilibrium after a small
perturbation. If the real parts of all the roots are positive, the system moves away from
equilibrium (is locally unstable).
If some roots have positive and some negative real parts, the behaviour of the system
depends on how it is perturbed; it sometimes returns to equilibrium but for other
displacements moves away.
In biological systems we usually assume the perturbations to be unconstrained so that
eventually the system will be displaced in a direction which allows the positive root to
lead the system away from equilibrium.
A single zero real part gives a neutral or passive equilibrium, but multiple zero roots can
give unbounded solutions (unstable equilibrium).
If a root is complex the system oscillates at a frequency given by the imaginary part while
the amplitude behaves according to the real part of the root.

Root Locus Technique
Introduction :
The root locus is a graphical representation in s-domain and it is symmetrical about the
real axis. Because the open loop poles and zeros exist in the s-domain having the values either
as real or as complex conjugate pairs. In this chapter, let us discuss how to construct (draw) the
root locus.
Prerequisite knowledge for Complete understanding and learning of Topic:
Characteristics equation
Let us now draw the root locus of the control system having open loop transfer function,
G(s)H(s)=Ks(s+1)(s+5)G(s)H(s)=Ks(s+1)(s+5)
Step 1− The given open loop transfer function has three poles
at s=0,s=−1s=0,s=−1 and s=−5s=−5. It doesn’t have any zero. Therefore, the number of root
locus branches is equal to the number of poles of the open loop transfer function.
N=P=3N=P=3
The three poles are located are shown in the above figure. The line segment
between s=−1s=−1 and s=0s=0 is one branch of root locus on real axis. And the other branch
of the root locus on the real axis is the line segment to the left of s=−5s=−5.
Step 2 − We will get the values of the centroid and the angle of asymptotes by using the given
formulae.
Centroid α=−2α=−2
The angle of asymptotes are θ=600,1800θ=600,1800 and 30003000.
The centroid and three asymptotes are shown in the following figure.
Step 3 –
Since two asymptotes have the angles of 600600 and 30003000, two root locus branches
intersect the imaginary axis. By using the Routh array method and special case(ii), the root
locus branches intersects the imaginary axis at j5–√j5 and −j5–√−j5.
There will be one break-away point on the real axis root locus branch between the
poles s=−1s=−1 and s=0s=0. By following the procedure given for the calculation of break-
away point, we will get it as s=−0.473s=−0.473.
The root locus diagram for the given control system is shown in the following figure.
In this way, you can draw the root locus diagram of any control system and observe the
movement of poles of the closed loop transfer function.
From the root locus diagrams, we can know the range of K values for different types of
damping.

Concepts of Controllability and Observability
Introduction :
The concept of controllability refers to the ability of a controller to arbitrarily alter the
functionality of the system plant.
The state-variable of a system, x, represents the internal workings of the system that
can be separate from the regular input-output relationship of the system.
Controllability:
In the world of control engineering, there are a slew of systems available that need to
be controlled.
The task of a control engineer is to design controller and compensator units to interact
with these pre-existing systems.
However, some systems simply cannot be controlled (or, more often, cannot be
controlled in specific ways).
The concept of controllability refers to the ability of a controller to arbitrarily alter the
functionality of the system plant.
Complete state controllability (or simply controllability if no other context is given)
describes the ability of an external input to move the internal state of a system from
any initial state to any other final state in a finite time interval.
Controllability A system with internal state vector x is called controllable if and only if
the system states can be changed by changing the system input.
Reachability:
A particular state x1 is called reachable if there exists an input that transfers the state of the
system from the initial state x0 to x1 in some finite time interval [t0, t).
Controllability Matrix :
For LTI (linear time-invariant) systems, a system is reachable if and only if its
controllability matrix, ζ, has a full row rank of p, where p is the dimension of the
matrix A, and p × q is the dimension of matrix B.
A system is controllable or "Controllable to the origin" when any state x1 can be driven
to the zero state x = 0 in a finite number of steps. A system is controllable when the
rank of the system matrix A is p, and the rank of the controllability matrix is equal.

Sampling Theorem
Introduction :
The Sample and Hold circuit is an electronic circuit which creates the samples of
voltage given to it as input, and after that, it holds these samples for the definite time.
The time during which sample and hold circuit generates the sample of the input
signal is called sampling time.
The Sample and Hold circuit is an electronic circuit which creates the samples
of voltage given to it as input, and after that, it holds these samples for the
definite time.
The time during which sample and hold circuit generates the sample of the
input signal is called sampling time.
Similarly, the time duration of the circuit during which it holds the sampled
value is called holding time.
Sampling time is generally between 1µs to 14 µs while the holding time can
assume any value as required in the application.
It will not be wrong to say that capacitor is the heart of sample and hold circuit.
This is because the capacitor present in it charges to its peak value when the
switch is opened, i.e. during sampling and holds the sampled voltage when the
switch is closed.
The diagram below shows the circuit of the sample and hold circuit with the
help of an Operational Amplifier.
It is evident from the circuit diagram that two OP-AMPS are connected via a
switch.
When the switch is closed sampling process will come into the picture and
when the switch is opened holding effect will be there.
The working of sample and hold circuit can be easily understood with the help
of working of its components.
The main components which a sample and hold circuit involves is an N-channel
Enhancement type MOSFET, a capacitor to store and hold the electric charge
and a high precision operational amplifier.
When the MOSFET acts as a closed switch, then the analogue signal applied to
it through the drain terminal will be fed to the capacitor.
The capacitor will then charge to its peak value. When the MOSFET switch is
opened, then the capacitor stops charging.
Due to the high impedance operational amplifier connected at the end of the
circuit, the capacitor will experience high impedance due to this it cannot get
discharged.
This leads to the holding of the charge by the capacitor for the definite amount
of time. This time can be referred as holding period. And the time in which
samples of the input voltage is generated is called sampling period.

Open loop & Closed loop sampled data systems
Introduction :
The state model having minimum number of non-zero elements are called
as canonical forms.
So, we will find that in this particular form, the number of non-zero elements are
minimum other elements are maximum 0's.

The input signals of a digital controller consist of discrete sequences of finite precision
numbers. We call such a sequence a digital signal. Often we ignore quantization (i.e., finite
precision) issues and still call the discrete sequence a digital signal.
In sampled-data systems, the plant to be controlled is an ana- log system (continuous-time, and
usually continuous-state), and measurements about the state of this plant that are initially in the
analog domain need to be converted to digital signals.
This conversion process from analog to digital signals is generally called sampling, although
sampling can also refer to a par- ticular part of this process, as we discuss below. Similarly, the
digital controller produces digital signals, which need to be transformed to analog signals to ac-
tuate the plant.
In control systems, this transformation is typically done by a form of signal holding device,
most commonly a zero-order hold (ZOH) pro- ducing piecewise constant signals. Fig.shows a
sampled-data model, i.e. the continuous plant together with the DAC and ADC devices, which
takes digital input signals and produces digital output sig- nals and can be connected directly to
a digital controller.
The convention used throughout these notes is that continuous-time signals are represented with
full lines and sampled or digital signals are represented with dashed lines. Note that the DAC
and ADC can be integrated for example on the microcontroller where the digital controller is
implemented, and so the diagram does not nec- essarily represents the spatial configuration of
the system. We will revisit this point later as we discuss more complex models including
latency and commu- nication networks. The various parts of the system represented on Fig. are
discussed in more detail in this chapter.

Lung mechanics model with proportional control
Introduction :
Lung mechanics are abnormal in infants and children with large left-to-right shunts due to
increased extravascular lung water resulting in decreased lung compliance and increased
resistance to expiratory flow.
Therefore we advocate using volume-controlled mode of ventilation to maintain a tight
control of minute ventilation and acid-base status.
