Automatic Control System

The document provides an overview of automatic control systems. It explains that automatic control systems aim to maintain a desired value of a process variable while rejecting outside disturbances by manipulating another system variable. Examples given include heating/cooling systems, cruise control, and maintaining tank levels. The basic subsystems of a control system are identified as a sensor, controller and actuator. Block diagrams are used to represent physical systems as inputs and outputs, with signals flowing between typical system components like temperature sensors, amplifiers, motors, valves and transmitters.

Learning Objectives

After this presentation you will be able to:

Explain the function of an automatic control system.

Identify a block diagram representation of a physical system


Fundamental
Control Concepts

Maintain a variable of process at a desired


value
while rejecting the effects of outside
disturbances by manipulating another
system variable.
Examples:
Heating and Cooling homes and offices
Automobile cruise control
Hold the position of a mechanical linkage Qout depends on h
Maintain level in a tank If Qout = Qin, h constant
Qout > Qin, tank empties
Qout < Qin,tank overflows
Basic Subsystems of Control
Automatic Control Systems
Block Diagrams
Automatic control systems use mathematical descriptions of
subsystems to reduce complex components to inputs and outputs

Input signal Control System Output signal
