Control Reduction - Examples - Lecture 3

This document provides an overview of block diagram representations of control systems. Key points include: - Block diagrams use rectangles and arrows to represent system elements and signal flow. Summing points are represented by circles. - Examples show how to draw block diagrams for systems of equations and reduce complicated diagrams to canonical form through techniques like combining blocks and eliminating feedback loops. - Properties like open-loop transfer function, control ratio, and characteristic equation are defined and examples show how to calculate these for given block diagrams.

Control System Theory

Lecture
Block Diagram Representation of Control Systems

Dr. Abdel Gayed Fathy Mohamed

1
Introduction
• A Block Diagram is a shorthand pictorial representation of
the cause-and-effect relationship of a system.

• The interior of the rectangle representing the block usually


contains a description of or the name of the element, or the
symbol for the mathematical operation to be performed on
the input to yield the output.

• The arrows represent the direction of information or signal


flow.

d
x y
dt
2
Introduction
• The operations of addition and subtraction have a special
representation.
• The block becomes a small circle, called a summing point, with
the appropriate plus or minus sign associated with the arrows
entering the circle.
• The output is the algebraic sum of the inputs.
• Any number of inputs may enter a summing point.
• Some books put a cross in the circle.

3
Introduction
• In order to have the same signal or variable be an input
to more than one block or summing point, a takeoff
point is used.

• This permits the signal to proceed unaltered along


several different paths to several destinations.

4
Example-1
• Consider the following equations in which x1, x2, x3, are variables,
and a1, a2 are general coefficients or mathematical operators.

x3  a1 x1  a 2 x2  5

5
Example-1
• Consider the following equations in which x1, x2, x3, are variables,
and a1, a2 are general coefficients or mathematical operators.

x3  a1 x1  a 2 x2  5

6
Example-2
• Consider the following equations in which x1, x2,. . . , xn, are
variables, and a1, a2,. . . , an , are general coefficients or
mathematical operators.
xn  a1 x1  a 2 x2  a n 1 x n 1

7
Example-3
• Draw the Block Diagrams of the following equations.

dx1 1
(1) x2  a1   x1dt
dt b
d 2 x2 dx1
( 2) x3  a1 3  bx1
dt 2 dt

Canonical Form of A Feedback Control System

9
Characteristic Equation
• The control ratio is the closed loop transfer function of the system.

C( s ) G( s )

R( s ) 1  G( s ) H ( s )

• The denominator of closed loop transfer function determines the


characteristic equation of the system.

• Which is usually determined as:

1  G( s ) H ( s )  0

10
Example-4
B( s )
1. Open loop transfer function  G( s ) H ( s )
E( s )
C( s )
 G( s )
2. Feed Forward Transfer function E ( s )

C( s ) G( s ) G(s )

3. control ratio R( s ) 1  G( s ) H ( s )

B( s ) G( s ) H ( s )
4. feedback ratio 
R( s ) 1  G ( s ) H ( s )

E( s ) 1 H (s )

5. error ratio R( s ) 1  G( s ) H ( s )
C( s ) G( s )

6. closed loop transfer function R( s ) 1  G( s ) H ( s )

7. characteristic equation 1  G( s ) H ( s )  0

11
8. closed loop poles and zeros if K=10.
Reduction of Complicated Block
Diagrams
• The block diagram of a practical control system is often
quite complicated.

• It may include several feedback or feedforward loops, and


multiple inputs.

• By means of systematic block diagram reduction, every


multiple loop linear feedback system may be reduced to
canonical form.
