EENG 381 Dr. Ayman AL-KHAZRAJI 1


What do these two have in common?

 Both are highly nonlinear, complicated dynamics!


 Both are capable of transporting goods and people over long
distances
BUT
 One is controlled, and the other is not.
 Control is “the hidden technology that you meet every day”
 It heavily relies on the concept of “feedback”

2
System can be represented using mathematical equation.

• Electrical system ( filter of signals )


• Mechanical System (bicycle)
• Electromechanical system (Motor)

What is Control?
 It is the process of forcing a system to behave in a desired way.

What is Control System?


 a mechanism that alters the future behavior or state of a system.

1. Control Element: Determines the action needed for the given input

2. Correction Element: initiate action to change the variable to be

controlled
3. Process: the system of which a variable is being controlled

 A closed loop control system consists of :
1. Comparison Element: Compares required value and actual value
2. Control Element: Determines the action needed based on the error
3. Correction Element: produce the change in the process to reduce the
error
4. Process: the system of which a variable is being controlled
5. Measurement Element: measures the value of controlled variable

Introduction to Control Systems
E.g. A room- temperature closed-loop control system
Controlled variable- the room temperature
Reference variable- The required room temperature
Comparison element- the person comparing the measured value with the required value
of the temperature.
Error signal- The difference between the measured and required value of temperature.
Control element- the person
Correction element- the hand operating the switch on the fire and so the heating element
Process- the room
Measuring device- a thermometer
Feedback- negative

Summary

Open Loop System Closed Loop System

1. No feedback. 1. Contains feedback


2. Simple 2. Sophisticated form of control.
3. Cheap. 3. More expensive because it uses sensor
4. Unable to compensate disturbances. for measuring the output.
4. Disturbances are compensated by the
feedback.
