Lesson 5: Block Diagrams & Signal Flow Graphs

This document provides an overview of automatic control and modeling techniques including: 1. Block diagrams and signal flow graphs which can be used to model systems and components. 2. Mason's rule for determining the transfer function of a system based on its signal flow graph by calculating the loop and path gains. 3. Examples of applying these techniques to model systems and determine their transfer functions from signal flow graphs.

Mason’s Rule
Mason’s gain rule is as follows: the transfer function of a
system with signal-input, signal-output flow graphs is
p11  p2  2  p3  3  
T ( s) 

Δ=1-(sum of all loop gains)+(sum of products of gains of all combinations if 2


nontouching loops)- (sum of products of gains of all combinations if 3
nontouching loops)+…
A path is any succession of branches, from input to output, in the direction of the
arrows, that does not pass any node more than once.

A loop is any closed succession of branches in the direction of the arrows that
does not pass any node more than once.
