Introduction:-
Mechatronics is the integration of electronics and control
engineering with mechanical engineering. (Mechanism +
electronics)
Example:-
Modern car with electronics fuel injection system and ABS.
Washing machine with auto wash control.
Automatic production line etc.
Industrial Revolution:-
Control System:-
Automatic means that we are going to get certain output performance
of the system for different inputs.
To maintain the performance of the system, even though the input is
varying or we are giving some specific input.
There are some disturbances that comes in the system from
environment and therefore, we need a control system.
System:-
A system is an collection of components which are co-ordinate
together to perform a function System.
System interact with the environment across separating boundary.
Interaction is defined in terms of variables: system input, system
output, environment disturbances.
In the figure shown that, this initial part of the response is transient response.
Transient response means, it is a time varying response. Here, it is varied with time.
After this point, it is going to be constant and this is called a steady state response.
There is a difference between the input command and steady state response is called
steady state error.
Element of control system:-
Controlled Variable:- The quantity or condition of the controlled system
which can be directly measured and controlled is called controlled variable.
Example:- temp. , humidity
Command:- The input which can be independently varied is called
command.
Reference Point:- A standard signal used for comparison in the close loop
system.
Actuating Signal:- the difference between feedback signal and reference
signal is called actuating signal.
Disturbance:- Any signal other than the reference which affects the system
performance is called disturbance.
System error:- the difference between the actual value and ideal value is
called system error.
Types of control system:-
Open loop control system:-
They do not monitor (measure) or correct the disturbance and are
simply commanded by the input.
It can not compensate the disturbance 1 and 2.
Example:- Washing machine, fan etc.
Continue…….
Close loop control system:-
They monitor the output and compare it to the input.
If an error is detected, the system correct the output and hence correct
the effect of disturbance.
Example:- Air conditioner, microwave oven etc.

In this situation T. F. < G(S) and we have negetive

Transfer Functions for Systems with Gears
Input gear with radius r1 and N1 teeth is rotated through angle Ɵ1(t) due to a torque, T1(t).
An output gear with radius r2 and N2 teeth responds by rotating through angle Ɵ2(t) and
delivering a torque, T2(t).
r1 Ɵ1 = r2 Ɵ2

The concept of poles and zeros, fundamental to the analysis and design of control
systems, simplifies the evaluation of a system’s response.
The Pole of transfer function are:-
(1) the values of the Laplace transform variable, s, that cause the transfer function to
become infinite or
(2) any roots of the denominator of the transfer function
the highest power of S in the denominator of the transfer function decides the type of
the system or order of the system.
We now discuss first-order systems without zeros to define a performance
specification for such a system.
First-Order Systems
Time Constant:-
• The time it takes for the step response to rise to 63% of its final value.
• The time constant can be considered a transient response specification for a first
order system, since it is related to speed at which the system responds to a step
input.
Rise Time Tr :-
the total response of a system is the sum of the forced and natural responses, or
C(t) = Cforce (t) + Cnatural (t)
the Routh-Hurwitz criterion declares that the number of roots of the polynomial that
are in the right half-plane is equal to the number of sign changes in the first column.
Controller :-
A controller is a mechanism that seeks to minimize the difference between the actual
value of a system (i.e. the process variable) and the desired value of the system (i.e. the
set point).
Controllers improve the steady-state accuracy by decreasing the steady state error.
Controllers also help in reducing the unwanted offsets produced by the system.
Controllers can help in reducing the noise signals produced by the system.
For a proportional controller, there are two conditions and these are written below:-
The deviation should not be large; i.e. there should not be a large deviation between
the input and output.
u(t) α e(t)
U(t) = Kp . e(t)
where Kp is the proportional constant
Take L.T. both side
U(s) = Kp. E(s)
U(s)/E(s) = Kp
T. F. = Kp
Advantages of Proportional Controller:-
The proportional controller helps in reducing the
u(t) = K . ꭍe(t)
i
where Ki is the integral constant
Take L.T. both side
U(s) = K . 1/S . E(s)
i
U(s)/E(s) = Ki / S
T. F. = Ki / S
Advantages of Integral Controller
Obtain the transient response of closed-loop transfer function and determine what
needs to be improved.
Insert the proportional controller, Design the value of ‘K’ through Routh-Hurwitz or
suitable software.
Add an integral part to reduce steady-state error.
Add the derivative part to increase damping (damping should be between 0.6-0.9). The
derivative part will reduce overshoots & transient time.
SISO tool, available in MATLAB can also be used for proper tuning and to obtain a
desired overall response.
