Introduction to Control Sheet No: 1

1. A fluid level control system includes a tank, a level sensor, a fluid source
and an actuator to control fluid inflow. Consult any classical control text1
to obtain a block diagram of an analog fluid control system. Modify the
block diagram to show how the fluid level could be digitally controlled.

2. If the temperature of the fluid of Problem (1) is to be regulated together with


its level, modify the analog control system to achieve the additional control
(Hint: an additional actuator and sensor are needed). Obtain a block
diagram for the two-input-two-output control system with digital control.
3. Position control servos are discussed extensively in classical control texts.
Draw a block diagram for a DC motor position control system after
consulting your classical control text. Modify the block diagram to obtain
a digital position control servo.
4. Repeat Problem (3) for a velocity control servo.
5. A ballistic missile is required to follow a predetermined flight path by
adjusting its angle of attack α (the angle between its axis and its velocity
vector v). The angle of attack is controlled by adjusting the thrust angle δ
(angle between the thrust direction and the axis of the missile). Draw a
block diagram for a digital control system for the angle of attack including
a gyroscope to measure the angle α and a motor to adjust the thrust angle δ.
6. The control of the recording head of a dual actuator hard disk drive (HDD)
requires two types of actuators to achieve the required high areal density.
The first is a coarse voice coil motor (VCM) with large stroke but slow
dynamics and the second is a fine piezo-electric transducer (PZT) with a
small stroke and fast dynamics. A sensor measures the head position and
the position error is fed to a separate controller for each actuator. Draw a
block diagram for a dual actuator digital control system for the HDD.
