INTRODUCTION TO CONTROL SYSTEMS Course Objectives 1. Model common control system components. 2. Select an appropriate control algorithm of PID type or one of its variations. 3. Analyze the performance of a control algorithm using transfer functions, block diagrams, and computer methods, in light of given performance specifications. 4. Using MATLAB and Simulink to analyze and simulate control systems A control system consists of subsystems and plants for the purpose of obtaining a desired output with desired performance, given a specified input. A major aplication of the methods of system dynamics is the design of control systems.
Basic Components of a Control System • Objectives of control (Inputs) • Control system components (Controller, plant, actuator, sensor,…) • Results (Outputs) Automobile : Sensors (Displacement,speed,force,pressure,temperature, fluid flow, fluid level voltage, current). Actuators (DC motors, step motors, pumps, heat sources) Home Heating System : Sensors (Temperature, pressure, fluid flow). Actuators (Motors, pumps, heat sources) Robot : Sensors (Optical image, displacement, speed,force, torque, pressure voltage, current). Actuators (AC motors, DC motors, step motors, hydroulic actuators) Control systems Open-loop control sytems Closed-loop control sytems
