Control Systems
PHYSICAL SYSTEMS:
INTRODUCTION:
First step towards analysis of a control system is preparation of a mathematical

model which is linear over a satisfactory range operating conditions giving us the
property of linearity and superposition.
A model may be defined as a representation of the essential aspects of the system
which presents knowledge of the system in a usable manner.
To be useful, the model must not so complicated that it cannot be understood and
thereby be unsuitable for analysis.
The components of a control system are diverse in nature and may include
electrical, mechanical, thermal and fluidic devices.
At the same time, it must not so complicated that it cannot be understood and
thereby be unsuitable for analysis.
At the same time, it must not be oversimplified and trivial.
While dealing with control systems, we shall be concerned mostly with dynamic
systems. The behavior of such systems is described in the form of differential
equations.
Although these will normally be nonlinear, it is customary to linearize them about
an operating point to obtain linear differential equations.
The components of a control system are diverse in nature and may include
electrical, mechanical, thermal and fluidic devices. The differential equations
relating the input and output quantities for these devices are obtained using the
basic law of physics. These include balancing forces, energy and mass. In
practice, some simplifying assumptions are often made to obtain linear
differential equations. With constant coefficients, although in most cases exact
analysis would lead to nonlinear partial differential equations. For most physical
devices one may classify the variables as either THROUGH or ACROSS
variables, in the sense that the former refer to a point while the latter are measured
between two points.
The input , output relations of various physical components of a system is
governed by differential equation. The mathematical model of a control system
constitutes a set of differential equation.

A mathematical model will be linear if the differential equations describing the

system have constant coefficients. If the coefficients of the differential equations
describing the system are constants, then the model is linear time invariant. If the
coefficients of the differential equations governing the system are functions of time, then
the model is linear time varying.
The differential equations of a linear time invariant system can be reshaped into
different form for the convenience of analysis. One such model for single input and
single output system analysis is transfer function of the system. The transfer function of a
system analysis is transfer function of the system. The transfer function of a system is
defined as the ratio of laplace transfer function of the system. The transfer function of a
defined as the ratio of laplace transfer function of a system is defined as the ratio of
laplace transform of output to the laplace transform of input with zero initial conditions.
An equation describing a physical has integrals and differentials. The response can be
obtained by solving such equations. The steps involved in obtaining the transfer function
are:
Write differential equation of the system.

Replace terms involving d/dt by s and integral of dt by 1/s.
Advantages of open loop system.

The advantages of open loop system are
1. Such systems are simple in construction.
2. Very much convenient when input is difficult to measure.
3. Such systems are easy for maintenance point of view.
4. Generally these are not troubled with problems of stability.
5. Such systems are simple to design and hence economical.
Page 2
IV Semester ECE
Disadvantages of open loop system.

The disadvantages of open loop system are
1. Such systems are inaccurate and unreliable because accuracy of such
systems are totally dependent on the accurate precalibration of the
controller.
2. Such systems give inaccurate results if there are variation in the
external environment i.e. systems cannot sense environmental changes.
3. Similarly they cannot sense internal disturbances in the system, after
the controller stage.
Advantages of closed loop system.

The advantages of closed loop system are:
1.accuracy of such system is always very high because controller modifies
and manipulates the actuating signal such that error in the system will be zero.
2. Such systems senses environmental changes, as well as internal
disturbances and accordingly modifies the error.
1. In such system, there is reduced effect of non-linearites and
distortions.
Comparison between open loop system and closed loop system
OPEN LOOP SYSTEM
Output measurement is not required
for operation of the system.
Highly affected by non-lineariteis
Highly sensitive to the disturbances
and environmental changes
Feedback element and error detector
are absent
Generally stable in nature
CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM

Output measurement is
necessary.
Reduced effect of nonlinearities.
Less sensitive to disturbances
and environmental changes.
Feedback element and error
detector are absent
Stability is the major
consideration while designing.
Linear system.
A system is said to be linear if it obeys the principle of superposition and
homogeneity. The principle of superposition states that the response of the system to a
weighted sum of the responses of the system to each individual input signals.
The system is said to be linear, if it satisfies the following two properties:
Adaptive property that is for any x and y belonging to the
domain of the function f, we have
F(x+y) = f(x) +f(y)
Page 3
IV Semester ECE
Homogeneous property that is for any x belonging to the

domain of the function f and for any scalar constant
We have
F(x) = f(x)
These two properties together constitute a principle of superposition.
Most of the systems are non-linear in nature because of different non-linearities
such as saturation, friction, dead zone etc. present in the system.
Definition of Transfer Function

Transfer function of a given system is defined as the ratio of the laplace transform
of output variable to laplace transform of input variables at zero input conditions.
Properties of transfer functions.

The properties of transfer function are as follows:
The transfer function of a system is the laplace transform of its

impulse response. I.e. if the input to a system with transfer
function P(s) is an impulse and all initial conditions are zero, the
transform of the output is P(s).
The roots of the denominator are the system poles and the roots of
the numerator are system zeros. The system stability can be
described in terms of the location of the roots of the transfer
function.
Advantages of transfer function.
It helps in the stability analysis of the system.
It helps in determining the important information about the system

Poles, zeros, characteristic equation etc.
Once transfer function is known, output response for any type of

reference input can be calculated.
The system differential equation can be easily obtained by

replacing variable s by d/dt.
Disadvantages of transfer function.
The disadvantages of transfer function approach are:
Only applicable to linear time invariant systems.
It does not provide any information concerning the physical

structure of the system. From transfer function, physical nature of
the system, whether it is electrical, mechanical, thermal or
hydraulic cannot be judged.
Page 4
IV Semester ECE
Effects arising due to initial conditions are totally neglected. Hence

initial conditions loose importance.
Important features of feedback.
Reduced effects of non-linearities and distortion.
Increased accuracy.
Reduced sensitivity of the ratio of the output to input to variations

in system characteristics.
Tendency toward oscillation or instability.
The basic elements used for modeling mechanical translational system:

The model of mechanical translational system can be obtained by using three
basic elements mass spring and dashpot.
Translational system
Consider a mechanical system in which motion is taking place along a straight
line. Such systems are of translational type. These systems are characterized by
displacement, linear velocity and linear acceleration.
Definition of torque.
This is the motion about a fixed axis. In such systems, the force gets replaced by a
moment about the fixed axis. I.e. {force x distance from fixed axis} which is called
torque.
Definition of friction.
Whenever there is a motion, there exists a friction. Friction may be between
moving element and fixed support or between two moving surfaces. Friction is also nonlinear in nature.
The types of friction.
Friction can be divided into three types. They are
Viscous friction.
Static friction.
Coulomb friction.
The two types of analogies for mechanical system are force-voltage analogy and
force-current analogy.
Analogous systems
Systems whose differential equations are identical form are called analogous
systems.
Page 5
IV Semester ECE
Two types of variables in physical system.

The two variables in physical systems are through variables and across variable.
Through variables refer to a point, the across variable is measured between two points.
The other names for force voltage analogy and force current analogy are
Force voltage analogy- Loop analysis.
Force current analogy- nodal analysis.
BLOCK DIAGRAM ALGEBRA;

INTRODUCTION:
In block diagram, the system consists of so many components. These components
are linked together to perform a particular function. Each component can be represented
with the help of individual block.
NEED FOR BLOCK DIAGRAM REDUCTION:
Block diagrams of some of the systems turn out to be complex, such that the evaluation
of their performance required simplification (or reduction) of block diagrams which is
carried out by block diagram rearrangements.
DEFINITION:
A block diagram of a system is a pictorial representation of the functions
performed by each component of the system and shows the flow of signals.
ADVANTAGES OF BLOCK DIAGRAM:
Very simple to construct the block diagram for complicated systems.
Individual as well as overall performance of the system can be studied by using
transfer functions shown in the block diagram.
Overall closed loop transfer function can be easily calculated using block diagram
rules.
The function of the individual element can be visualized from the block diagram.
DISADVANTAGES OF BLOCK DIAGRAM:
The disadvantages of block diagram are:
Block diagram does not include any information about the physical construction
of the system.
Source of energy is generally not shown in the block diagram, so block diagram
for a given system is not unique.
The basic components of block diagram are block, branches, summing point, arrows.

Signal flow graph:

The graphical representation of the variables of a set of linear algebraic equations
representing the system is called signal flow graph.
The properties of signal flow graph
The signal in the system flows along the branches and along the arrows associated
with the branches.
The value of variable represented by any node is an algebraic sum of all the
signals entering at the node.
The signals gets multiplied by the branch gain or branch transmittance when it
travels along it.
Applicable only to linear time invariant systems.
Need for signal flow graph:
Block diagrams are very successful for representing control systems, but for
complicated systems, the block diagram reduction process is tedious and time consuming.
So signal flow graphs are needed which does not require any reduction process because
of availability of a flow graph formula, which relates the input and output system
variables.
The transmittance is the gain acquired by the signal when travels from one node
to another node in the signal flow graph.
Node represents a system variable, which is equal to the sum of all incoming
signals at the node, outgoing signals from the node do not affect the value of the node
variable.
A signal travels along a branch from one node to another in the direction
indicated by the branch arrow and in the process gets multiplied by the gain or
transmittance of the branch.
A node having incoming and outgoing branches is known as chain node.
A feedback loop consisting of only one node is called self loop.
The product of all the gains of the branches forming a loop is called loop gain.
A path from the input to output node is defined as forward path.

3.Write the equations for mechanical system shown in figure 7.a.

( AU: April 2005, Dec 2005)
Due to force f(t) applied to M1, it will displace by the displacement x1(t).
As K1 and B1 are between M1 and fixed support, both are under same
displacement x1(t)
Due to friction B3, the force transferred to M2 is different than f(t), hence M2 will
displace by the displacement x2(t).
As K2 and B2are between M2 and fixed support, both are under same displacement
x2(t)
The equivalent system is shown in fig.7.b.
The node equations for the system are

7. Show that the systems shown in fig.11.a and fig.b are analogous system. (AU:
April-2007)
There are three displacements xi(t) xo(t) and xy(t). The input is xi(t) and output is
xo(t). So transfer function of the mechanical system is X0(s) / Xi(s). The
equilibrium equations are
B1d(xo(t)- xi(t))/dt + K1(xo(t)- xi(t)) + B1d(xo(t)- xy(t))/dt = 0 ---------(1)
B2d(xy(t)- xo(t))/dt + K2xy(t) = 0 ------------------------------------ (2)
Taking Laplace transform of both equations, neglecting initial conditions,
B1sXo(s) - B1sXi(s) + K1Xo(s) - K1Xi(s) + B2sXo(s) B2sXy(s) = 0
Therefore Xo(s)[sB1 + k1 +s B2] + Xi(s)[sB1 + k1] B2sXy(s) = 0 --------------------- (3)
B2sXy(s) - B2sXo(s) + K2Xy(s) = 0
Therefore Xy(s)[sB2 + k2 ] = B2s Xo(s)
Therefore Xy(s) = {B2s / [sB2 + k2 ]} Xo(s)} ------------------------------------------(4)
Substitute equation 4 in equation 3,

types of feed back control systems:

The open loop transfer function G(S) of a unity feed back system can be
written in two standard forms namely the time constant form and polr zero form.
G(S)=K(TZ1S+1) (TZ2S+1) (TZ3S+1).. (TZmS+1)
Sn(TP1S+1) (TP2S+1) (TP3S+1).. (TPmS+1) (TIME CONSTANT FORM)
= _K(S+Z1) (S+Z2) (S+Z3).. (S+Zm)
Sn (S+P1) (S+P2) (S+P3).. (S+Pm)
(POLE ZERO FORM)
Where the relation between K and K is

Page 78
IV Semester ECE
K=K(product of all zeros)

Product of all poles.
In both respresentatiom, the terms Sn in the denominator represent the n
poles at the origin, which represent the type number of the system. If n=0,
the system is known as type 0 system and if n=1 the system is known as
type 1 system and so on.
The type number of a system is defined as the number of poles of G(S) at

the origin or number of integrators present in the systems.
For example
G(S)=(S+5)____ is a type 0 system

(S+4)(S+8)
G(S)=(S+9)___ is a type 1 system

Introduction to PID controllers:

A controller is a device which when introduced in feed back or forward path of system,
controls the steady state and transient response as per the requirement. This controller
converts the applied input to some other form of error which is proportional to the error due to
which steady state and transient response gets improved. The output of the controller is
proportional to the amount of error generated by that device.
The performance of this controlling phenomena may be done by means of electrical,
mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic medium.
Classification of controllers:
1.ON-OFF controller
2. proportional controller
3. integral controller
4. derivative controller
5. proportional plus integral controller
6. proportional plus derivative controller
7. proportional +integral+derivativecontroller
ON-OFF controller:
This type of controller is the simplest and cheapest typehere the actuating device
(controller)
Is the capable of assuming only one two positions, with either zero(or) maximum input to the
process.
Proportional controller:
It is defined as the action of a controller in which the output signal m(t) is proportional to
the measured actuating error signal e(t).
M(t) e(t)
M(t) =kpe(t)
Where kp is proportional sensitivity or the gain
Taking laplace transform we get
M(s)=kpE(S)
Page 85
IV Semester ECE
Kp= M(S) = change in controller output

E(S)
change in derivation
So the proportional controller is essentially an amplifier with an adjustable gain.
Integral controller:
It is denoted by the term I in the PID controller. In a controller with integral action,
the value of the output m(t) is propprtional to the measured actuating error signal e(t).
dm(t) = kie(t)
ds
t
m(t) = ki e(t) dt
0
Where ki is an adjustable constant the transfer function of the integral controller is
M(S) = ki
E(S)
s
The integral controller increases the type number of system by one. This integral control
overcomes the drawback of proportional control by reducing the steady state error to zero
without the use of excessive large control gain. The integral control action is also called as reset
control action.
Derivative controller:
Derivative controller do not affect state error but effect transient response. The output of
derivative controller depends on the rat e of change of error signal. The main drawback of
derivative controller is that it amplifies the noise signal. Therefore it is not possible for us to use
the derivative control action alone. We can use this derivative controller along with integral or
proportional controller
In time domain m(t)= kd dl(t)
Dt
In laplace domain m(S)=kds E(S)
The output of the derivative controller is zero when the error signal constant. That is the
derivative control has no input when it is acting on constant signal.
Proportional plus integral controller (PI controller)

In PI controller the controller output m(t) is proportional to a linear combination of
actuating signal e(t) plus integral of the error signal.
Page 86
IV Semester ECE
M(t) =kpe(t) +ki e(t) dt.

Taking laplace transform
M(s) = kpE(S)+kI E(S)
S
=E(S)[kp+ki_]
S
Assuming kp=1 we can write
G(S)=(1+ki ) n2 =
___s_
S(s+2z n)
(ki+s) n2
s2(s+s2z n)
i.e the system becomes type 2 in nature

and C(S) =
R(S)
(ki+s) n2
s3+2z ns2+s n2+ki n2
i.e it becomes third order

that is it integral is included along with proportional controller means the system
relatively becomes less stable as ki must be designed in such a way that system will remain in
stable condition. Second order system will always stable.
The transient response of of system gets affected badly if PI controller is not designed
properly. By including I controller along with p controller, steady state the system gets
improved and we can get the accurate output from the system.
In general PI controller improves steady state part but it affects transient part of the
system.
Proportional plus derivative controller (PD controller)
A controller in a forward path which changes the controller output corresponding to
the proportional plus derivative of error signal is known as PD controller
M(T) =kpe(t) +kpTd de(t)
Dt
Taking laplace transform
M(S) = kpE(S) +kpTd s E(S) =E(S)[kp+TdS]
Assuming kp=1
G(S) = (1+sTd) n2
S(s+2z n)

C(S) = (1+sTd) n2
R(S) s2+2[2zn+ n2Td] + n2

n2 term is same as in the standard form
but 2z n =2z n+ n2Td
z= 2z n + n2Td

because of this derivative controller the damping ratio increases by a factor nTd

as there is no change in co efficient, the error will also remain same.
PD controller has following effects on the system.
1.

3.

It reduces settling time

It reduces peak overshoot
Steady state error remains unchanged.
Type of the system remains unchanged
It increases damping ratio
PD controller improves transient part without affecting steady state.

control action with an adjustable gain for each action.

Transient response and steady state response.

The time response of a system consists of two parts.
Transient response
Steady state response
This can be denoted by equation as
Total time response =transient response +steady state response
C(t)=ctr(t)+css(t)
Transient response of the system is the portion of total time response during which output
Changes from one value to another value. In other words, it is the response before the output
reaches
the steady state value.
Steady state response of the system for a given input after a very long time. In steady
state, the output response settles to its final steady state value or steady oscillations.
Derivation of steady state error:
Definition: steady state error : it is the difference between the actual output and the desired
output.
Consider a simple closed loop system using negative feedback us shown.
Where E(s)=error signal and B(s)=feed back signal.
Now E(S)=R(S)-B(S)

the impulse signal has zero amplitude every where expect at the origin as shown in fig.
mathematically the impulse signal can be represented by
A (t)=0 for t#0 and
A (t) dt= A
-
Where tends to zero. Here the value a represents the area of the signal or energy content of
the signal and the laplace transform of the impulse is given by.
L[ A (t)] =A
Unit impulse signal:

If A=1, then the signal is called unit impulse signal that is for a unit impulse signal.
(t)=0 for t#0 and
A (t)dt = 1
-
The laplace transform of the unit impulse signal is

L[ (t)] =1.
Step signal:
Step signal of size A is a signal that changes from zero level to another level A is a zero
time and stays there for ever as shown fig. the step signal is applied to the system to study the
behavior of the system for a sudden change in input.
Mathematically
r(t) = A for t> 0
= 0 for t< 0
The laplace transform of the the step signal is R(S)=L[r(t)]=A/s.
Unit step signal:

If the the magnitude a of the step signal is unity, then the step signal is shown and is
denoted bt u(t). that is
U(t) =1 for t > 0
=0 for < 0.
The laplace transform of the unit step msignal u(t) is
L[u(t)] =1/s.
Ramp signal:
The ramp signal increases linearly with time from an initial value of zero at t=0.
Mathematically representation of the ramp signal is given by
R(t) = At for t> 0
= 0 for t=0
Where A represents the slope of the line
The laplace transform of the ramp signal is known as unit ramp signal.
Parabolic signal:
The instantaneous value of a parabolic signal varies as square the time from an initial
value of zero at t=0.
Mathematically representation of the
Page 91
IV Semester ECE
Parabolic signal is
r(t)=At2 t>0.
= 0 t<0.
The laplace transform of the parabolic signal is given by
R(s)= L[At2 ] =2A/s3
To have a convinent form for laplace transform of parabolic signal is A/s3 . the parabolic signal
in time domain is often defined as At2/2.
Steady state erroer and error constants
The stady state error ess is the difference between the input (or desired value ) and the
output of a closed loop system for a known input as t->.
Mathematically
Ess = Lt e(t)
t->
= Lt [r(t)-c(t)]
t->0
bu using final value theorem
Ess = Lt e(t) = Lt s E(S)

t->
s->0
this is valid provided that SE(S) has no poles on the j axis no multiple poles on the j axis and
is the rignt half of s plane. The steady state error is a measure of system accuracy. With the help
of step ramp and paroboic inputs it is passible for us to judge te steady state behavior of the
system.

AS closed loop poles are the roots of characteristics equation so for first order system there is
only one closed loop pole i.e s=-1/T

Consider P1. to the R.H.S. of P1 . the sum of poles and zeros are odd. So P1 is
the part of root locus. Consider P2. to the R.H.S. of P2 . the sum of poles and
zeros are even. So P1 is not the part of root locus. Consider P3. to the R.H.S. of
P3 . the sum of poles and zeros are odd. So P3 is the part of root locus.
Consider P4. to the R.H.S. of P4 . the sum of poles and zeros are even. So P4 is
not the part of root locus.
Step 4:
When number of asymptotes = 0, then the root locus plot is circular. So no
need to find the intersection of asymptotes on real axis. Because asymptotes
are required only when number of poles is not equal to number of zeros. i.e.
P >z.

As K is negative, there is no intersection on j axis. Mean of two

(2 + a - 2) ( 2 +a )( +b) = 0
{ (2 + a - 2) - ( 2 +a ) ( +b)} = 0

therefore { (2 + a - 2) - ( 2 +a ) ( +b)} = 0
i.e. 2 + a - 2 - 22 - 2 - 2b - ab = 0
(adding and subtracting b2 we get)
+ 2b + b + - b - ab = 0
2
( +b)2 + ( 0)2 = ( b(b a) )2

This is the equation of a circle with centre as (-b , 0) which is the location of open loop
zero and radius ( b(b a)). This proves that part of the root locus is a circle.
10. Prove that the breakaway points of the root locus are the solutions of dK/ds = 0.
where K is the open loop gain of the system whose open loop transfer function is
G(s)
(AU: April-2004)
The characteristic equation 1 +G(s)H(s) = 0 is the combination of s terms and K terms. It

can be arranged as
F(s) = P(s) + KQ(s) = 0 -------------------------- (1)
Where P(s) = polynomial containing s terms.
KQ(s) = polynomial containing K and s terms.
Taking K outside from KQ(s), it can be noted that both P(s) and Q(s) are
polynomials in s.
Now at breakaway points, multiple roots occur.

Mathematically this is possible if (dF(s) / ds ) = 0
From equation (1),

dF(s) = dP(s) + KdQ(s) = 0

ds
ds
ds
therefore K = - {dP(s) / ds} ------------------------------------(2)

dQ(s) / ds
put equation(2) in equation (1),
at breakaway point, we can write

- {dP(s) / ds} Q(s) = 0

dQ(s) / ds
dQ(s) P(s)+ KdP(s) Q(S) = 0 ----------------(3)

ds
ds
solving equation(3), for value of s, breakaway point can be obtained.
Now from equation(1)
K = - P(s)
Q(s)
Therefore dK(s) = ds
Q(s){dP(s) / ds} - P(s){dQ(s) / ds}------- (4)

[Q(s)]2
if dK / ds is equated to zero, we get

dK = P(s) dQ(s) - Q(s) dP(s) = 0 --------------(5)
ds
ds

compare (3) and equation(5).
Equation(5) is same as equation(3) which yields breakaway points. This
proves that the roots of ( dK / ds ) = 0 are the actual breakaway points.

Consider P1. to the R.H.S. of P1 the sum of poles and zeros are odd. So P1 is
the part of root locus. Consider P2. to the R.H.S. of P2 the sum of poles and
zeros are even. So P2 is not the part of root locus. Consider P3. to the R.H.S. of
P3 the sum of poles and zeros are odd. So P3 is the part of root locus. Consider
