Closed-Loop Control Systems. Feedback control systems
are often referred to as closed-loop control systems.
In a closed-loop control system the actuating error
signal, which is the difference between the input signal and the
feedback signal, is fed to the controller so as to reduce the
error and bring the output of the system to a desired value.

• Simple construction and
ease of maintenance.
• Less expensive than a
corresponding closed-loop
system.
• There is no stability
problem.
• They are inaccurate and
unreliable
• The effect of external
disturbance signals can be
made very small.
• They are more complex
and expensive
• Cost of maintenance is
high
• The systems are prone to
instability. Oscillations in
the output many occur.
• They are more accurate
and reliable.
• If external disturbances are
present, output differs
significantly from the
desired value.

Block Diagram Reduction Techniques
Introduction
• Block diagram is a shorthand, graphical representation of a
physical system, illustrating the functional relationships
among its components.
The simplest form of the block diagram is the single block, with
one input and one output.
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.

Outline
• Introduction to Signal Flow Graphs

– Terminologies
– Examples
• Mason’s Gain Formula
– Examples
• Signal Flow Graph from Block Diagrams
• Design Examples

Introduction
91
• Alternative method to block diagram representation,
developed by Samuel Jefferson Mason.
• Advantage: Mason’s gain formula is used to find the
overall gain/Transfer function of the system.
• Simpler than tedious Block diagram reduction method
• A signal-flow graph consists of a network in which nodes
are connected by directed branches.
• It depicts the flow of signals from one point of a system
to another and gives the relationships among the signals.
Fundamentals of Signal Flow Graphs
• Consider a simple equation below and draw its signal flow
graph:
• The signal flow graph of the equation is shown below;
• Every variable in a signal flow graph is represented by a
Node.
• Every transmission function in a signal flow graph is
represented by a Branch.
• Branches are always unidirectional.
• The arrow in the branch denotes the direction of the signal

Terminologies
• An input node or source contain only the outgoing branches. i.e., X1
• An output node or sink contain only the incoming branches. i.e., X4
• A path is a continuous, unidirectional succession of branches along which
no node is passed more than ones. i.e.,
• A forward path is a path from the input node to the output node. i.e.,
X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 , and X1 to X2 to X4 , are forward paths.
• A feedback path or feedback loop is a path which originates and
terminates on the same node. i.e.; X2 to X3 and back to X2 is a feedback
path.
X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 X1 to X2 to X4 X2 to X3 to X4
94
Terminologies
• A self-loop is a feedback loop consisting of a single branch. i.e.; A33 is
a self loop.
• The gain of a branch is the transmission function of that branch.
• The path gain is the product of branch gains encountered in traversing
a path. i.e. the gain of forwards path X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 is A21A32A43
• The loop gain is the product of the branch gains of the loop. i.e., the
loop gain of the feedback loop from X2 to X3 and back to X2 is A32A23.
• Two loops, paths, or loop and a path are said to be non-touching if
they have no nodes in common.
95
Consider the signal flow graph below and identify the following
a) Input node.
b) Output node.
c) Forward paths.
d) Feedback paths (loops).
e) Determine the loop gains of the feedback
loops.
f) Determine the path gains of the forward

Mason’s Gain Formula:
• The transfer function, C(s)/R(s), of a system represented by a signal-
flow graph is;
Where
n = number of forward paths.
Pi = the i th forward-path gain.
∆ = Determinant of the system
∆i = Determinant of the ith forward path
• ∆ is called the signal flow graph determinant or characteristic
function.

Mason’s Rule:
Pi = Forward path gains
∆ = 1- (sum of all individual loop gains) + (sum of the products of
the gains of all possible two loops that do not touch each other) –
(sum of the products of the gains of all possible three loops that
do not touch each other) + … and so forth with sums of higher
number of non-touching loop gains
∆i = value of Δ for the part of the block diagram that does not
touch the i-th forward path (Δi = 1 if there are no non-touching
loops to the i-th path.)

Systematic approach
1. Calculate forward path gain Pi for each

2. Calculate all loop transfer functions
3. Consider non-touching loops 2 at a time
4. Consider non-touching loops 3 at a time etc.
5. Calculate Δ from steps 2,3,4 and 5
6. Calculate Δi as portion of Δ not touching

    Terminologies • An inputnode or source contain only the outgoing branches. i.e., X1 • An output node or sink contain only the incoming branches. i.e., X4 • A path is a continuous, unidirectional succession of branches along which no node is passed more than ones. i.e., • A forward path is a path from the input node to the output node. i.e., X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 , and X1 to X2 to X4 , are forward paths. • A feedback path or feedback loop is a path which originates and terminates on the same node. i.e.; X2 to X3 and back to X2 is a feedback path. X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 X1 to X2 to X4 X2 to X3 to X4 94

    Terminologies • A self-loopis a feedback loop consisting of a single branch. i.e.; A33 is a self loop. • The gain of a branch is the transmission function of that branch. • The path gain is the product of branch gains encountered in traversing a path. i.e. the gain of forwards path X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 is A21A32A43 • The loop gain is the product of the branch gains of the loop. i.e., the loop gain of the feedback loop from X2 to X3 and back to X2 is A32A23. • Two loops, paths, or loop and a path are said to be non-touching if they have no nodes in common. 95

    Mason’s Gain Formula: •The transfer function, C(s)/R(s), of a system represented by a signal- flow graph is; Where n = number of forward paths. Pi = the i th forward-path gain. ∆ = Determinant of the system ∆i = Determinant of the ith forward path • ∆ is called the signal flow graph determinant or characteristic function.      n i i i P s R s C 1 1 ) ( ) ( 110
