Definition of a control system;
The control system consists of subsystems and process (or
plant) assembled for the purpose of controlling the output with
desired performance, given a specified input.

Advantages of control systems;
Can move large objects with precision; for example (i) elevator,
(ii) radar antenna to pickup strong radio signal and (iii) robot to
operate in the dangerous environment.
Example:
(i) Elevator
When pressed fourth-floor from first floor, the elevator rises to
the fourth floor with a speed and floor-leveling accuracy design
for passenger comfort.

(a) Sub-system and System
subsystem subsystem subsystem
Subsystem is part of the system that is grouped for a certain
function
System is a combination of physical and non-physical components
that are configured to serve certain tasks to maintain the output
(b) Plant subsystem
input output
Plant is a subsystem where an output signal is derived from the
input signal

(d) System Response
Ability of system to achieve desired result is measured in terms
of system response: comparison of output versus input.
Transient response.
Steady State Response.
Steady State Error.
8. 8
Disturbance is the unwanted signal that may sway the output .
Controller is a subsystem that is used to ensure the output
signal follows the input signal.
The Open-Loop System cannot compensate for any
disturbance that add to the system.
Example; bread toaster.
1.3 Open Loop System.
9. 9
The Close-Loop (feedback control) System can overcome the
problem of the Open Loop System in term of sensitivity to
disturbance and inability to correct the disturbance.
1.4 Close-Loop System.
10. 10
The design of a control system follows these steps;
Step 1: Transform Requirement into a Physical System.
Step 2: Draw the Functional Block Diagram.
Step 3: Create the Schematic.
Step 4: Develop the Mathematical Model or Block Diagram.
Step 5: Reduce the Block Diagram.
Step 6: Analyze and Design.
1.5 The Design Process.
11. 11
Transfer function is the ratio of the output over the input
variables.
The output signal can then be derived as; C = GR

Transient state
A state whereby the system response after a perturbation before
the response approach to a steady condition
Steady state
A state whereby the system response becomes steady after a
transient state.
Stability
The condition of the steady state. If the response converges to
a finite value then it is said to be in a stable condition and if the
response diverges, it is known to be unstable.
A system must be stable in order to produce the proper
transient and steady state response.
Transient response is important because it effects the speed of
the system and influence human patience and comfort.
