11. Basic Concept of Control System
(a) The identification problem : to measure the variables and convert data for analysis.
(b) The representation problem: to describe a system by an analytical form or mathematical
model
(c) The solution problem: to determine the above system model response.
(d) The stability problem: general qualitative analysis of the system
(e) The design problem: modification of an existing system or develop a new one
(f) The optimization problem: from a variety of design to choose the best.
• The two basic approaches to solve these six problems are conventional and modern
approach.

12. Basic Concept of Control System
• The electrical oriented conventional approach is based on complex function theory.
• The modern approach has mechanical orientation and based on the state variable theory.
• Therefore, control engineering is not limited to any engineering discipline but is equally
applicable to aeronautical, chemical, mechanical, environmental, civil and electrical
engineering.
Basic terminology in control systems
System: A combination or arrangement of a number of different physical components to form
a whole unit such that that combining unit performs to achieve a certain goal.

13. Basic terminology in control systems
Control: The action to command, direct or regulate a system.
Plant or process: The part or component of a system that is required to be controlled.
Input: It is the signal or excitation supplied to a control system.
Output: It is the actual response obtained from the control system.
Controller: The part or component of a system that controls the plant.
Disturbances: The signal that has adverse effect on the performance of a control system.
Control system: An interconnection of components forming a system configuration that will
provide a desired response.
Feedback Signal: A measure of the output of the system used for feedback to control the
system.

14. Basic terminology in control systems
Negative feedback: The output signal is feedback so that it subtracts from the input signal.
Block diagrams: Unidirectional, operational blocks that represent the transfer functions of
the elements of the system.
Classification of control systems
• Time varying and Time in-variant control system
• Open-loop control system and Closed-loop control system
• Linear and Non- linear system.
• Lumped and Distributed parameter control system.

Year Development (Invention) of control systems
1769 James Watt’s steam engine and governor developed. The Watt steam engine is
often used to mark the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain. During
the Industrial Revolution, great strides were made in the development of
mechanization, a technology preceding automation.
1800 Eli Whitney’s concept of interchangeable parts manufacturing demonstrated in the
production of muskets. Whitney’s development is often considered to be the beginning
of mass production.
1868 J. C. Maxwell formulates a mathematical model for a governor control of a steam
engine.
1913 Henry Ford’s mechanized assembly machine introduced for automobile production.
1927 H.W. Bode analyzes feedback amplifiers.

Year Development (Invention) of control systems
1932 H. Nyquist develops a method for analyzing the stability of systems.
1952 Numerical control (NC) developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology for control
of machine-tool axes.
1954 George Devol develops “programmed article transfer,” considered to be the first
industrial robot design.
1960 First Unimate robot introduced, based on Devol’s designs. Unimate installed in 1961 for
tending die-casting machines.
1970 State-variable models and optimal control developed.
1980 Robust control system design widely studied.
1990 Export-oriented manufacturing companies emphasize automation.
