Practically every aspect of our day-to-day life is affected less or more by
some control system.
A bathroom toilet tank, a refrigerator, an air conditioner, a geezer, an
automatic iron, an automobile all are control system.
These systems are also used in industrial processes for more output.
We find control systems in the quality control of products, weapons
system, transportation systems, power system, space technology, robotics
and many more.
The Need for Control Systems
Open Loop and Closed Loop Control Systems
Control Systems can be classified as open loop control
systems and closed loop control systems based on the
feedback path.
Classification of Control Systems
Open loop control systems
In an open loop control systems (non feedback system), output is not fed-back
to the input. So, the control action is independent of the desired output.
The following figure shows the block diagram of the open loop control system.

Signal
Here, an input is applied to a controller and it produces an actuating signal or
controlling signal. This signal is given as an input to a plant or process which is
to be controlled. So, the plant produces an output, which is controlled. The
traffic lights control system which we discussed earlier is an example of an
open loop control system.

Closed loop control systems
In closed loop control systems, output is fed back to the input. So, the control
action is dependent on the desired output.
The following figure shows the block diagram of negative feedback closed loop
control system.

The error detector produces an error signal, which is the difference between the input and
the feedback signal. This feedback signal is obtained from the block (feedback elements) by
considering the output of the overall system as an input to this block. Instead of the direct
input, the error signal is applied as an input to a controller.
So, the controller produces an actuating signal which controls the plant. In this combination,
the output of the control system is adjusted automatically till we get the desired response.
Hence, the closed loop control systems are also called the automatic control systems. Traffic
lights control system having sensor at the input is an example of a closed loop control system.

These are also called as non-feedback
control systems.
These are also called as feedback
control systems.
Easy to design. Difficult to design.
These are economical. These are costlier.
Inaccurate. Accurate.
The differences between the open loop and the closed loop control systems are
mentioned in the following table.
Continuous time and Discrete-time Control Systems
Control Systems can be classified as continuous time control systems and
discrete time control systems based on the type of the signal used.
In continuous time control systems, all the signals are continuous in time.
But, in discrete time control systems, there exists one or more discrete time
signals.
SISO and MIMO Control Systems
Control Systems can be classified as SISO control systems and MIMO control
systems based on the number of inputs and outputs present.
SISO (Single Input and Single Output) control systems have one input and
one output. Whereas, MIMO (Multiple Inputs and Multiple Outputs) control
systems have more than one input and more than one output.
Feedback
If either the output or some part of the output is returned to the input side and utilized as
part of the system input, then it is known as feedback. Feedback plays an important role in
order to improve the performance of the control systems. In this chapter, let us discuss the
types of feedback & effects of feedback.
Types of Feedback
There are two types of feedback −
•Positive feedback
•Negative feedback
Positive Feedback
The positive feedback adds the reference input, R(s) and feedback output.
The following figure shows the block diagram of positive feedback control system.
The concept of transfer function will be discussed later.
For the time being,
consider the transfer function of positive feedback control system is,
𝑇 =
𝐺
1−𝐺𝐻
(Equation 1)
Where,
T is the transfer function or overall gain of positive feedback control system.
G is the open loop gain, which is function of frequency.
H is the gain of feedback path, which is function of frequency.
Negative Feedback
The negative feedback reduces the reference input, R(s) and feedback output.
The following figure shows the block diagram of positive feedback control system.
Now, The transfer function of negative feedback control system is,
𝑇 =
𝐺
1+𝐺𝐻
(Equation 2)
Where,
T is the transfer function or overall gain of positive feedback control system.
G is the open loop gain, which is function of frequency.
H is the gain of feedback path, which is function of frequency.
Essential Requirements of a Good Control
System
1. Focus on Objectives
The control system should always focus on objectives. It should aim to achieve the objectives of
the organization.
2. Suitability
The control system should be suitable to the needs of the organisation.
3. Promptness
The control system should be prompt. That is, it should find out the deviations quickly. This will
help the management to correct the deviations quickly.
4. Flexibility
The control system should be flexible. It should change according to the changes
in plans, situations, environments, etc. A rigid control system will always fail.
Hence flexibility is necessary for a control system.
5. Forward Looking
The control system should be forward-looking. It should forecast the future
deviations. That is, it should find out the deviations before it happens. It should
also take steps to prevent these future deviations.
6. Economical
The control system should be economical. This means the cost of the control
system should not be more than its benefits.
7. Simplicity
The control system should not be complicated. It should be easy to understand and simple to use.
Those who are going to use the control system should understand it clearly and completely.
8. Motivating
The control system should be motivating. That is, it should give more importance to preventing
the mistakes and less importance to punishing the employees. So, it should encourage, not
discourage the employees.
9. Suggestive
The control system should be suggestive and it should give complete answers for the following
questions :- What is the Problem? Where is the Problem? How to solve the Problem?
10. Proper Standards
The control system should have proper standards. The standards should be very clear. They should
be definite, verifiable, specific and measurable. They should not be too high or too low.
Generalized Control System
Numerical Control System
What is a Transfer Function?
The transfer function of a control system is defined as the ratio of the Laplace
transform of the output variable to Laplace transform of the input variable assuming all
initial conditions to be zero.
G(s)=
C(s)
R(s)
A transfer function represents the relationship between the output signal of a control
system and the input signal, for all possible input values. A block diagram is a
visualization of the control system which uses blocks to represent the transfer function,
and arrows which represent the various input and output signals.
For any control system, there exists a reference input known as excitation or cause
which operates through a transfer operation (i.e. the transfer function) to produce an
effect resulting in controlled output or response.
Thus the cause and effect relationship between the output and input is related
to each other through a transfer function.
G(s)=
C(s)
R(s)
,
R(s)* G(s)= Cs
Procedure for determining the transfer function of a control
system are as follows:
1. We form the equations for the system.
2. Now we take Laplace transform of the system equations, assuming initial
conditions as zero.
3. Specify system output and input.
4. Lastly we take the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output and the
Laplace transform of the input which is the required transfer function.
It is not necessary that output and input of a control system are of same category.
For example, in electric motors the input is electrical signal whereas the output is
mechanical signal.
Similarly in an electric generator, the input is mechanical signal and the output is
electrical signal, since mechanical energy is required to produce electricity in a
generator.
But for mathematical analysis, of a system all kinds of signals should be represented
in a similar form.
This is done by transforming all kinds of signal to their Laplace form.
Also the transfer function of a system is represented by Laplace form by dividing
output Laplace transfer function to input Laplace transfer function.
Hence a basic block diagram of a control system can be represented as
Where, R(s)= Ɫr(t), C(s)= Ɫc(t) & G(s)=Ɫg(t)=
Ɫc(t)
Ɫr(t)
Where r(t) and c(t) are time domain function of input and output signal
respectively.

Properties of transfer function
•The transfer function of a system is the Laplace transform of its impulse response under
assumption of zero initial conditions.
•Conversely the transfer function can be determined from system input output pair by
taking ratio of Laplace of output to the Laplace input
•The transfer function of a system does not depend on the inputs to the system.
•The system poles and zeros can be determined from its transfer function.
•Stability can be found from characteristics equation
•The transfer function is only defined for linear time invariant systems and not for the non
linear systems.
Advantages of Transfer function
1. If transfer function of a system is known, the response of the system to any input
can be determined very easily.
2. A transfer function is a mathematical model and it gives the gain of the system.
3. Since it involves the Laplace transform, the terms are simple algebraic
expressions and no differential terms are present.
4. Poles and zeroes of a system can be determined from the knowledge of
the transfer function of the system.
Disadvantages of Transfer function
1. Transfer function does not take into account the initial conditions.
2. The transfer function can be defined for linear systems only.
3. No inferences can be drawn about the physical structure of the system.
Mathematical modeling and representation of
a physical system
Introduction
A physical system is a system in which physical objects are connected to perform an
objective. We cannot represent any physical system in its real form. Therefore, we
have to make assumptions for analysis and synthesis of systems.
An idealized physical system is called a physical model.
A physical system can be modeled in different ways depending upon the problem and
required accuracy with which we have to deal.
Most of the control system we see are mechanical and electrical or a combination of
both.
E.g An Elevator
The process of drawing the block diagram for mechanical and
electrical systems to find the performance and the transfer functions
is called the mathematical modeling of the control system.
There are two types of physical system:
Mechanical system.
Electrical system.
Mechanical Systems are all about motions and the motion in
mechanical system can be categorized in two types
A. Translational
B. Rotational
A. Translational
Translational or Linear system: The motion that takes place along a
straight line is called a translational motion. There are three different
types of forces that we have to study.
1. Mass/ Inertia Force
2. Spring
3. Friction/Damping Force
1. Inertia Force/Mass:
Consider a body of mass 'M' and acceleration 'a' then according to newton's second law of
motion:
F = M*a in terms of Time Domain it will be F (t) = M a (t)
M M M M F (t)
x
A B C
In terms of displacement the above
equation can be expressed as
In terms of velocity Applying Laplace transform we get
F (s) = M s2 X(s)
2. Spring Force:
We all have seen spring and we know how it contracts and retracts on application of force.
A mechanical system could have an actual spring or spring like component in it e.g. belt or cable.
Springs are non linear device but their deformation is linear for short distance.
Consider a spring shown in figure
We require force to deform the spring . Here the force is proportional to the displacement.
Net displacement of application of force F(t) at end A is x1 - x2
Therefore, F(t) = K[x1 (t) –x2 (t)]
If the force is applied at B end the relationship is
1
x2
A
B
F(t) = K[x2 (t) –x1 (t)]
Applying Laplace Transform
F(s) = K[X1 (s) –X2 (s)]
• K '= spring constant of stiffness
3. Damping Force/ Friction:
Whenever there is motion there exist friction. Friction exists between moving body and a
fixed support or between surfaces. Sometime viscous friction is sometimes introduced
intentionally which is shown as dashpot or damper.
For viscous friction, we assume that the damping force is proportional to the velocity.

FD(t) = B

[x1(t) –x2(t)]
Applying Laplace FD(s) = Bs [X2 (s) –X1 (s)]
B. Rotational Motion
Rotational System: When the motion of a body takes place about a fixed axis, this type of
motion is known as rotational motion. There are three types of torques that resist the
rotational motion. In rotational motion force gets replaced by torque(T), displacement by
angular displacement(θ), velocity by angular velocity (ω) and acceleration by angular
acceleration (α).
1. Inertia Torque
2. Damper
3. Spring Torque
1. Inertia Torque
The property of an element that stores the kinetic energy of rotational motion is
called inertia (J). The inertia Torque T1 is the product of the moment of inertia J and
angular acceleration α (t).
If a torque is applied on a body having moment of inertia J, then it is opposed by an
opposing torque due to the moment of inertia. This opposing torque is proportional
to angular acceleration of the body. Assume elasticity and friction are negligible.

Where,
•T is the applied torque
•Tj is the opposing torque due to moment of

•J is moment of inertia
•α is angular acceleration
•θ is angular displacement
2. Damper
If a torque is applied on dashpot B, then it is opposed by an opposing torque due to
the rotational friction of the dashpot. This opposing torque is proportional to the
angular velocity of the body. Assume the moment of inertia and elasticity are
negligible
Tb ∝ ω
⇒Tb= B*ω = B
dθ
dt
T= Tb= B*ω = B
dθ

Where,
Tb is the opposing torque due to the rotational
friction of the dashpot
B is the rotational friction coefficient
ω is the angular velocity
θ is the angular displacement
3. Spring Torque
In translational mechanical system, spring stores potential energy. Similarly, in
rotational mechanical system, torsional spring stores potential energy.
If a torque is applied on torsional spring K, then it is opposed by an opposing torque
due to the elasticity of torsional spring. This opposing torque is proportional to the
angular displacement of the torsional spring. Assume that the moment of inertia
and friction are negligible.
Tk∝ θ
⇒Tk= K*θ
T= Tk= K*θ = K (θ1 – θ2)
Where,
T is the applied torque
Tk is the opposing torque due to elasticity of
torsional spring
K is the torsional spring constant
θ is angular displacement

Electrical Analogies of Mechanical Systems
Analogy means Similarity, it is possible to represent a mechanical system by its
electrical analogies.
Two systems are said to be analogous to each other if the following two
conditions are satisfied.
• The two systems are physically different
• Differential equation modelling of these two systems are same
Electrical systems and mechanical systems are two physically different systems.
There are two types of electrical analogies of translational mechanical systems.
Those are force voltage analogy and force current analogy.
In force voltage analogy, the mathematical equations of translational mechanical system are compared with

Numerical on Electrical Analogies of Mechanical Systems
Representation by Nodal Method
Both Types of mechanical systems can be shown by Nodal Method. This method is
easy to arrive at Mathematical Model.
Step 1: Total number of nodes = total number of displacement = total number of masses.
Take one reference node in addition
Step 2:
1. Mass or inertia has one displacement x or (θ). Connect it between the node X and reference node.
2. Spring and damper have to displacements X1 and X2 (or X1 & Reference as the case may be).
Analyse connect the element between X1 and X2 (where X1 & X2 represent to displacement at
the two ends of each element)
Step 3: Draw the nodes and connect the elements
Step 4: Write the force equation for each node as in KCL

    Open loop controlsystems In an open loop control systems (non feedback system), output is not fed-back to the input. So, the control action is independent of the desired output.

    Here, an inputis applied to a controller and it produces an actuating signal or controlling signal. This signal is given as an input to a plant or process which is to be controlled. So, the plant produces an output, which is controlled. The traffic lights control system which we discussed earlier is an example of an open loop control system.

    Closed loop controlsystems In closed loop control systems, output is fed back to the input. So, the control action is dependent on the desired output.

    The error detectorproduces an error signal, which is the difference between the input and the feedback signal. This feedback signal is obtained from the block (feedback elements) by considering the output of the overall system as an input to this block. Instead of the direct input, the error signal is applied as an input to a controller. So, the controller produces an actuating signal which controls the plant. In this combination, the output of the control system is adjusted automatically till we get the desired response. Hence, the closed loop control systems are also called the automatic control systems. Traffic lights control system having sensor at the input is an example of a closed loop control system.

    Continuous time andDiscrete-time Control Systems Control Systems can be classified as continuous time control systems and discrete time control systems based on the type of the signal used. In continuous time control systems, all the signals are continuous in time. But, in discrete time control systems, there exists one or more discrete time signals. SISO and MIMO Control Systems Control Systems can be classified as SISO control systems and MIMO control systems based on the number of inputs and outputs present. SISO (Single Input and Single Output) control systems have one input and one output. Whereas, MIMO (Multiple Inputs and Multiple Outputs) control systems have more than one input and more than one output.

    Feedback If either theoutput or some part of the output is returned to the input side and utilized as part of the system input, then it is known as feedback. Feedback plays an important role in order to improve the performance of the control systems. In this chapter, let us discuss the types of feedback & effects of feedback.
  • 18.
    Types of Feedback Thereare two types of feedback − •Positive feedback •Negative feedback
  • 19.
    Positive Feedback The positivefeedback adds the reference input, R(s) and feedback output. The following figure shows the block diagram of positive feedback control system.
  • 20.
    The concept oftransfer function will be discussed later. For the time being, consider the transfer function of positive feedback control system is, 𝑇 = 𝐺 1−𝐺𝐻 (Equation 1) Where, T is the transfer function or overall gain of positive feedback control system. G is the open loop gain, which is function of frequency. H is the gain of feedback path, which is function of frequency.
  • 21.
    Negative Feedback The negativefeedback reduces the reference input, R(s) and feedback output. The following figure shows the block diagram of positive feedback control system.
  • 22.
    Now, The transferfunction of negative feedback control system is, 𝑇 = 𝐺 1+𝐺𝐻 (Equation 2) Where, T is the transfer function or overall gain of positive feedback control system. G is the open loop gain, which is function of frequency. H is the gain of feedback path, which is function of frequency.
  • 23.
    Essential Requirements ofa Good Control System 1. Focus on Objectives The control system should always focus on objectives. It should aim to achieve the objectives of the organization. 2. Suitability The control system should be suitable to the needs of the organisation. 3. Promptness The control system should be prompt. That is, it should find out the deviations quickly. This will help the management to correct the deviations quickly.
  • 24.
    4. Flexibility The controlsystem should be flexible. It should change according to the changes in plans, situations, environments, etc. A rigid control system will always fail. Hence flexibility is necessary for a control system. 5. Forward Looking The control system should be forward-looking. It should forecast the future deviations. That is, it should find out the deviations before it happens. It should also take steps to prevent these future deviations. 6. Economical The control system should be economical. This means the cost of the control system should not be more than its benefits.
  • 25.
    7. Simplicity The controlsystem should not be complicated. It should be easy to understand and simple to use. Those who are going to use the control system should understand it clearly and completely. 8. Motivating The control system should be motivating. That is, it should give more importance to preventing the mistakes and less importance to punishing the employees. So, it should encourage, not discourage the employees. 9. Suggestive The control system should be suggestive and it should give complete answers for the following questions :- What is the Problem? Where is the Problem? How to solve the Problem? 10. Proper Standards The control system should have proper standards. The standards should be very clear. They should be definite, verifiable, specific and measurable. They should not be too high or too low.

    What is aTransfer Function? The transfer function of a control system is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output variable to Laplace transform of the input variable assuming all initial conditions to be zero. G(s)= C(s) R(s) A transfer function represents the relationship between the output signal of a control system and the input signal, for all possible input values. A block diagram is a visualization of the control system which uses blocks to represent the transfer function, and arrows which represent the various input and output signals. For any control system, there exists a reference input known as excitation or cause which operates through a transfer operation (i.e. the transfer function) to produce an effect resulting in controlled output or response.
  • 29.
    Thus the causeand effect relationship between the output and input is related to each other through a transfer function. G(s)= C(s) R(s) , R(s)* G(s)= Cs
  • 30.
    Procedure for determiningthe transfer function of a control system are as follows: 1. We form the equations for the system. 2. Now we take Laplace transform of the system equations, assuming initial conditions as zero. 3. Specify system output and input. 4. Lastly we take the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output and the Laplace transform of the input which is the required transfer function.
  • 31.
    It is notnecessary that output and input of a control system are of same category. For example, in electric motors the input is electrical signal whereas the output is mechanical signal. Similarly in an electric generator, the input is mechanical signal and the output is electrical signal, since mechanical energy is required to produce electricity in a generator. But for mathematical analysis, of a system all kinds of signals should be represented in a similar form. This is done by transforming all kinds of signal to their Laplace form. Also the transfer function of a system is represented by Laplace form by dividing output Laplace transfer function to input Laplace transfer function.
  • 32.
    Hence a basicblock diagram of a control system can be represented as Where, R(s)= Ɫr(t), C(s)= Ɫc(t) & G(s)=Ɫg(t)= Ɫc(t) Ɫr(t) Where r(t) and c(t) are time domain function of input and output signal respectively.

    Properties of transferfunction •The transfer function of a system is the Laplace transform of its impulse response under assumption of zero initial conditions. •Conversely the transfer function can be determined from system input output pair by taking ratio of Laplace of output to the Laplace input •The transfer function of a system does not depend on the inputs to the system. •The system poles and zeros can be determined from its transfer function. •Stability can be found from characteristics equation •The transfer function is only defined for linear time invariant systems and not for the non linear systems.
  • 41.
    Advantages of Transferfunction 1. If transfer function of a system is known, the response of the system to any input can be determined very easily. 2. A transfer function is a mathematical model and it gives the gain of the system. 3. Since it involves the Laplace transform, the terms are simple algebraic expressions and no differential terms are present. 4. Poles and zeroes of a system can be determined from the knowledge of the transfer function of the system.
  • 42.
    Disadvantages of Transferfunction 1. Transfer function does not take into account the initial conditions. 2. The transfer function can be defined for linear systems only. 3. No inferences can be drawn about the physical structure of the system.
  • 43.
    Mathematical modeling andrepresentation of a physical system Introduction A physical system is a system in which physical objects are connected to perform an objective. We cannot represent any physical system in its real form. Therefore, we have to make assumptions for analysis and synthesis of systems. An idealized physical system is called a physical model. A physical system can be modeled in different ways depending upon the problem and required accuracy with which we have to deal. Most of the control system we see are mechanical and electrical or a combination of both. E.g An Elevator
  • 44.
    The process ofdrawing the block diagram for mechanical and electrical systems to find the performance and the transfer functions is called the mathematical modeling of the control system. There are two types of physical system: Mechanical system. Electrical system.
  • 45.
    Mechanical Systems areall about motions and the motion in mechanical system can be categorized in two types A. Translational B. Rotational
  • 46.
    A. Translational Translational orLinear system: The motion that takes place along a straight line is called a translational motion. There are three different types of forces that we have to study. 1. Mass/ Inertia Force 2. Spring 3. Friction/Damping Force
  • 47.
    1. Inertia Force/Mass: Considera body of mass 'M' and acceleration 'a' then according to newton's second law of motion: F = M*a in terms of Time Domain it will be F (t) = M a (t) M M M M F (t) x A B C In terms of displacement the above equation can be expressed as In terms of velocity Applying Laplace transform we get F (s) = M s2 X(s)
  • 48.
    2. Spring Force: Weall have seen spring and we know how it contracts and retracts on application of force. A mechanical system could have an actual spring or spring like component in it e.g. belt or cable. Springs are non linear device but their deformation is linear for short distance. Consider a spring shown in figure We require force to deform the spring . Here the force is proportional to the displacement. Net displacement of application of force F(t) at end A is x1 - x2 Therefore, F(t) = K[x1 (t) –x2 (t)] If the force is applied at B end the relationship is 1 x2 A B F(t) = K[x2 (t) –x1 (t)] Applying Laplace Transform F(s) = K[X1 (s) –X2 (s)] • K '= spring constant of stiffness
  • 49.
    3. Damping Force/Friction: Whenever there is motion there exist friction. Friction exists between moving body and a fixed support or between surfaces. Sometime viscous friction is sometimes introduced intentionally which is shown as dashpot or damper. For viscous friction, we assume that the damping force is proportional to the velocity. 2 x1 FD(t) = B 𝒅 𝒅𝒕 [x1(t) –x2(t)] Applying Laplace FD(s) = Bs [X2 (s) –X1 (s)]
  • 50.
    B. Rotational Motion RotationalSystem: When the motion of a body takes place about a fixed axis, this type of motion is known as rotational motion. There are three types of torques that resist the rotational motion. In rotational motion force gets replaced by torque(T), displacement by angular displacement(θ), velocity by angular velocity (ω) and acceleration by angular acceleration (α). 1. Inertia Torque 2. Damper 3. Spring Torque
  • 51.
    1. Inertia Torque Theproperty of an element that stores the kinetic energy of rotational motion is called inertia (J). The inertia Torque T1 is the product of the moment of inertia J and angular acceleration α (t). If a torque is applied on a body having moment of inertia J, then it is opposed by an opposing torque due to the moment of inertia. This opposing torque is proportional to angular acceleration of the body. Assume elasticity and friction are negligible. Tj∝ α ⇒Tj= J*α = J dω dt = J d2 θ d2 t T= Tj= J*α = J dω dt = J d2 θ d2 t Where, •T is the applied torque •Tj is the opposing torque due to moment of inertia •J is moment of inertia •α is angular acceleration •θ is angular displacement
  • 52.
    2. Damper If atorque is applied on dashpot B, then it is opposed by an opposing torque due to the rotational friction of the dashpot. This opposing torque is proportional to the angular velocity of the body. Assume the moment of inertia and elasticity are negligible Tb ∝ ω ⇒Tb= B*ω = B dθ dt T= Tb= B*ω = B dθ dt Where, Tb is the opposing torque due to the rotational friction of the dashpot B is the rotational friction coefficient ω is the angular velocity θ is the angular displacement
  • 53.
    3. Spring Torque Intranslational mechanical system, spring stores potential energy. Similarly, in rotational mechanical system, torsional spring stores potential energy. If a torque is applied on torsional spring K, then it is opposed by an opposing torque due to the elasticity of torsional spring. This opposing torque is proportional to the angular displacement of the torsional spring. Assume that the moment of inertia and friction are negligible. Tk∝ θ ⇒Tk= K*θ T= Tk= K*θ = K (θ1 – θ2) Where, T is the applied torque Tk is the opposing torque due to elasticity of torsional spring K is the torsional spring constant θ is angular displacement
