Lab Experiment 5

Learn Block Diagram Reduction techniques for Linear Control Systems and
PRACTICE their implementation on MATLAB.

Objective:
The objective of this experiment is to learn commands in MATLAB that would be used to reduce
linear systems block diagram using series, parallel and feedback configuration.

Procedure:

Example 1: Given the transfer functions of individual blocks generate the system transfer
function of the block combinations.

The result is as shown below:


Parallel configuration: If the two blocks are connected as shown below then the blocks are said
to be in parallel. It would like adding two transfer functions.

The MATLAB command for implementing a parallel configuration is “parallel” as shown below:

Example 2: For the previous systems defined, modify the MATLAB commands to obtain the
Over all transfer function when the two blocks are in parallel.

Feedback configuration: If the blocks are connected as shown below then the blocks are said to
be in feedback. Notice that in the feedback there is no transfer function H(s) defined. When not
specified, H(s) is unity. Such a system is said to be a unity feedback system.
The MATLAB command for implementing a feedback system is “feedback” as shown below:

When H(s) is non-unity or specified, such a system is said to be a non-unity feedback system as
shown below:

A non-unity feedback system is implemented in MATLAB using the same “feedback” command
as shown:

Example 3: Given a unity feedback system as shown in the figure, obtain the overall transfer
function using MATLAB:

The result is as shown below:


Example 4: Given a non-unity feedback system as shown in the figure, obtain the overall
Transfer function using MATLAB:

The result is as shown below:


Poles and Zeros of System:
To obtain the poles and zeros of the system use the MATLAB command “pole” and “zero”
respectively as shown in example 5. You can also use MATLAB command “pzmap” to obtain the
same.

Example 5: Given a system transfer function plot the location of the system zeros and poles using
the MATLAB pole-zero map command.
For example:
Post Lab Task:

Exercise 1: For the following multi-loop feedback system, get closed loop transfer function and
the corresponding pole-zero map of the system.
Exercise 2: Consider the feedback system depicted in the figure below
a. Compute the closed-loop transfer function using the ‘series’ and ‘feedback’ functions.
b. Obtain the closed-loop system unit step response with the ‘step’ function and verify that final
value of the output is 2/5.
