Behaviour of Second Order Systems

This document provides the objectives and procedures for an experiment on second-order systems using an RLC circuit. Students will: 1. Calculate the undamped natural frequency of an LC circuit and measure the minimum damping resistance. Record amplitude ratio and phase angle vs. frequency to analyze the frequency response near resonance. 2. Set a slightly underdamped resistance and again measure the frequency response. 3. Apply a square wave input and observe the damped output waveform to understand the circuit's response to transient inputs. 4. Create plots of the experimental frequency response and transient output to compare with theoretical curves and explain the results.

LAB #5: Behavior of Second-Order Systems

Equipment: Dell Optiplex GX260 PC Digital Data Acquisition Card (National Instruments PCI-MIO-16E-4 DAQ board) Virtual Oscilloscope (National Instruments VirtualBench) Multimeter (FLUKE 8050A) Function Generator (Tektronix CFG250) Resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) box Objectives: In this experiment, you will study the behavior of a second-order system represented by an RLC circuit. You will use the virtual scope to acquire data. From this experiment, you should achieve a grasp of the concepts of natural frequency, damping, and frequency response.

1. FREQUENCY RESPONSE OF A SECOND-ORDER SYSTEM


1.1 Calculate the undamped natural frequency of the LC circuit using the nominal values of L and C. For your box, L=0.553 H and you can choose (with the switch) one of two capacitors with C=0.1 or 0.01 F. 1.2 From the Edit-Load Settings menu, recall the file default.sco. 1.3 Using a BNC-tee connector, connect the output of the function generator to Ch 0 of the DAQ and to the to switch input to the RLC circuit. Connect the to scope output of the RLC circuit to Ch 1. Activate both Ch 0 and Ch 1. Set the circuit damping resistance to minimum (i.e., to full CCW) and measure (and record) this minimum resistance with the digital multimeter. 1.4 Set the function generator to give a sine wave output of about 100 Hz with 0.5 V peak-to-peak amplitude. Set the Trigger Mode to Auto and Src to Ch 0. 1.5 With the Cursors off, gradually increase the driving frequency from about 100 Hz to about 1 kHz and observe how the system output changes in amplitude and phase angle, particularly as you pass through the resonant frequency range and on to higher frequencies. Acquire enough data to plot amplitude ratio (Vout/Vin) vs frequency and phase angle vs frequency, for a frequency range that includes the resonant frequency. Take amplitude and phase data for at least ten frequencies, starting around 200 Hz below resonance and including several frequencies near the resonant frequency.

NOTE: Since the output from the function generator may vary with frequency, it is wise to measure both the input amplitude and the output amplitude at each frequency. You will also need to measure the phase angle between the output signal and the input signal. 1.6 Calculate the resistance needed to give =0.7 (slightly underdamped). Using the multimeter, set this resistance on the potentiometer, and take the data necessary to determine frequency-response amplitude and phase curves (i.e., amplitude vs frequency and phase vs frequency) for this second-order system.

2. RESPONSE TO A SQUARE-WAVE INPUT


2.1 Return the resistance potentiometer to the full CCW minimum-damping setting. Set the function generator to produce a square wave with amplitude of 1.0 V pk-pk and a frequency of 100 Hz. Obtain plots of the input signal (Ch 0) and the output signal (Ch 1) for this square-wave input, and save these waveforms to include as plots in your homework.

3. HOMEWORK
