Principle of Superposition
The response y(t) of a linear system due to several inputs x1(t), x2(t), , xn(t), acting simultaneously is equal to the sum of the responses of each input acting alone.
Example
????
Solution
First, the block diagram is simplified
Cascade Feedback Loop
Solution
Simplified block
Solution
Apply Principle of Superposition: put R2(s) = 0 and replace the summing point by +1 results to
What is the transfer function?
CI(s) --------------R1(s)
Solution
The transfer function is therefore (with R1(s) acting alone)
or
Solution
Next, put R1(s) = 0 and the summing point is replaced with -1, then the response CII(s) to input R2(s) acting alone is done by
Set to zero
Change to: -1
Solution
The resulting diagram is shown below
First, we combine the three blocks that form a cascade, next we simplify the positive feedback loop.
Solution
The resulting transfer function is
or
Solution
Using the Principle of Superposition, we add CI(s) and CII(s)

Stead-state Conditions
The control action u(t) will be such that the controlled output c(t) will be equal to the reference input r1(t) for all values of time, irrespective of the value of the disturbance input r2(t).
Proportional Control
The control action, or signal, is proportional to the error e(t)
Proportional Controller
For first order plants,
Proportional Control
The transfer function of the plant is given by
Proportional Control
Re-arranging the equation yields
Proportional Control
When r1(t) is a unit step, and r2(t) is set to zero, the final value theorem yields
When r2(t) is a unit step, and r1(t) is set to zero, the final value theorem yields
Ti
The time interval in which the part of the control signal due to integral action increases by an amount equal to the part of the control signal due to proportional action when the error is unchanging.
PI Control
