This document provides an introduction to control systems. It defines a control system as a system used to achieve a desired output. The basic components of a control system are identified as a plant, controller, actuator, sensor, and disturbance. Control systems are classified as open-loop or closed-loop based on whether feedback is used. A brief history of control is provided, highlighting early examples and the development of modern control theory. Requirements for control systems like stability, quickness, and accuracy are also discussed.

Control systems engineering encompasses a wide range of techniques and methodologies for designing and analyzing control systems. These include classical control methods such as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, which relies on simple algebraic equations and is widely used in industrial applications due to its simplicity and robustness. Another approach is modern control theory, which leverages advanced mathematical tools such as state-space representation, frequency domain analysis, and optimal control theory to design more sophisticated controllers with improved performance and stability.
At its core, control systems engineering seeks to manipulate the behavior of dynamic systems to achieve desired outputs. These dynamic systems can range from simple mechanical systems like a pendulum to complex electrical networks, chemical processes, and even biological systems. The fundamental principle underlying control systems is feedback – the ability to measure the system's output, compare it to a desired reference value, and adjust the system's inputs accordingly to minimize the error between the desired and actual outputs.

desarrollo de un proceso o sistema. También se puede
entender como la forma de manipular ciertas variables
para conseguir que ellas u otras variables actúen en la
forma deseada.

(elements) stimulated or excited by an external input to
produce an external output.
What is “ control”?
4. What is a control system?
• Generally speaking, a control system is a system
that is used to realize a desired output or objective.
• Control systems are everywhere
– They appear in our homes, in cars, in industry, in
scientific labs, and in hospital…
– Principles of control have an impact on diverse fields as
engineering, aeronautics ,economics, biology and
medicine…
– Wide applicability of control has many advantages (e.g.,
it is a good vehicle for technology transfer)
6. A brief history of control

16. Open-loop control systems
• Open-loop control systems: those systems in which
the output has no effect on the control action.
• The output is neither measured nor fed back for
comparison with the input.
• For each reference input, there corresponds a fixed
operating conditions; the accuracy of the system depends
on calibration.
• In the presence of disturbances, an open-loop system will
not perform the desired task.

17. Open-loop control systems
• Examples
–Washing machine
–Traffic signals
Note that any control systems that
operates on a time basis are open-
loop.
18. Open-loop control systems
• Some comments on open-loop control
systems
–Simple construction and ease of
maintenance.
–Less expensive than a closed-loop system.
–No stability problem.
–Recalibration is necessary from
time to time.
–Sensitive to disturbances, so less accurate.
Good
Bad
19. Open-loop control systems
• When should we apply open-loop control?
–The relationship between the input and output
is exactly known.
–There are neither internal nor external
disturbances.
–Measuring the output precisely is very hard
or economically infeasible.
20. Closed-loop control systems
• Closed-loop control systems are often referred to as
feedback control systems.
• The idea of feedback:
– Compare the actual output with the expected value.
– Take actions based on the difference (error).
– This seemingly simple idea is tremendously powerful.
– Feedback is a key idea in the discipline of control.

21. Closed-loop control systems
• In practice, feedback control system and

interchangeably
• Closed-loop control always implies the use of

system error

–stabilize an unstable system
–create well-defined relationship between
output and reference
28. Comments on feedback control

of a system
–increase the overall complexity of a system

31. Other examples of feedback
Feedback systems are not limited to engineering
but can be found in various non-engineering fields
as well.
The human body is highly advanced feedback
control system.
Body temperature and blood pressure are kept
constant by means of physiological feedback.
Feedback makes the human body relatively
insensitive to external disturbance. Thus we can
survive in a changing environment.

Classification of control systems
• the reference input (expected
value) is a constant value
• the controller works to keep the
output around the constant value
e.g. constant-temperature
control, liquid level control and
constant-pressure control.
• the reference input may be
unknown or varying
• the controller works to
make the output track the
varying reference
e.g. automatic navigation
systems on boats and planes,
satellite-tracking antennas
• the input changes
according to a program
• the controller works
according to predefined
command
e.g. numerical control

36. Remark on nonlinear systems
• Quite often, nonlinear characteristics are
intentionally introduced in a control system to
improve its performance or provide more effective
control.
For instance, to achieve a temperature control, an on-
off (bang-bang or relay) type controller is used
• There are no general methods for solving a wide
class of nonlinear systems.
37. Classification of control systems
4. According to
signal form
Continuous

Discrete

All the signals are functions of
continuous time variable t
Signals are in the form of either a
pulse train or a digital code
e.g. digital control system
38. Classification of control systems
5. According to
parameters
Time-invariant
system
Time-varying
system
The parameters of a control
system are stationary with respect
to time
System contain elements that drift
or vary with time
e.g. Guided-missile control system, time-
varying mass results in time-varying
parameters of the control system
40. Basic requirements for control systems
• Stability: refer to the ability of a system to
recover equilibrium
• Quickness: refer to the duration of transient
process before the control system to reach its
equilibrium
• Accuracy: refer to the size of steady-state error
when the transient process ends
(Steady-state error=desired output – actual
output)
41. Note
• For a control system, the above three
performance indices (stability, quickness,
accuracy) are sometimes contradictory.
• In design of a practical control system, we
always need to make compromise.
