Introduction

Control System An interconnection of components forming a system

configuration that will provide a desired response.

Control is the process of causing a system variable such as temperature to

conform to some desired value.

System An interconnection of elements and devices for a desired purpose.

Controller In most cases, electronic circuits provide the intelligence, and

electromechanical components such as sensors and motors provide the

interface to the physical world.

Sensors are the eyes of control enabling one to see

what is going on. Indeed, one statement that is

sometimes made about control is:

If you can measure it, you can control it.

As an example consider the altitude sensor in an

aeroplane or the temperature in a room.


lecture 2


11

Once sensors are in place to report on the state of a

process, then the next issue is the ability to affect, or

actuate, the system in order to move the process

from the current state to a desired state.

As an example consider the ballet in an aeroplane or

the fan in a room.

In summary:

Sensors provide the eyes and actuators the muscle

but control science provides the finesse.

Better Control(Computing)Provides more finesse by combining sensors and

actuators in more intelligent ways

v An open-loop control system utilizes an actuating device to control the

process directly without using feedback.

v A closed-loop feedback control system uses a measurement of the

output and feedback of the output signal to compare it with the desired

output or reference.

Transfer Functions

20

Physically, a control system is a collection of components and

circuits connected together to perform a useful function.

Each component in the system converts energy from one form to

another; (for example, temperature sensor or a motor)

A transfer function (TF) is a mathematical relationship between

the input and output of a control system component.

Analog and Digital Control Systems

23

• A program executes over-and-over (iteration or scan).

• The total time for one pass through the program may be less than 1 millisecond.

• The digital system only “looks” at the inputs at a certain time.

In an analog control system, the controller consists of traditional

analog devices and circuits, that is, linear amplifiers.

• Older times it was the only available technology.

• Change in either set point or feedback is sensed immediately

In a digital control system, the controller uses a digital circuit. In

most cases, this circuit is actually a computer, usually microprocessor-

or microcontroller-based.

Process control refers to a control system that oversees some

industrial process so that a uniform, correct output is maintained.

v Sequentially Controlled Systems: A sequentially controlled

system controls a process that is defined as a series of tasks to be

performed that is, a sequence of operations, one after the other.


• Time-driven (open-loop control)

• Event-driven (closed-loop control)

v Examples: washing Machine, Traffic Control and Packing Materials.

v Many Tasks one after one control by PLCs.

• Such a system typically includes a motor, mechanical parts that move,

and (in many cases) feedback sensor(s).

• Examples: Automatic assembling machines, industrial robots and

numerical control machines.

v Motion Control: Motion control is a broad term used to describe an open-

loop or closed-loop electromechanical system wherein things are moving.

• It has some categories such as:

• Servomechanisms,

• Numerical Control,

• Robotics.

Servomechanism is the traditional term applied to describe a closed-

loop electromechanical control system that directs the precise

movement of a physical object such as a radar antenna or robot arm.

Numerical control (NC) is the type of digital control used on machine

tools such as lathes and milling machines.

These machines can automatically cut and shape the work piece

without a human operator.

Industrial robots are classic examples of position control systems.

In most cases, the robot has a single arm with shoulder, elbow, and

wrist joints, as well as some kind of hand known as an end effector.

1- In a certain system, an electric heating element was found to increase the

temperature of a piece of metal 10° for each ampere of current. The metal expands

0.001 in./deg and pushes on a load sensor which outputs 1 V/0.005 in. of

compression.

a. Find the transfer functions of the three components and draw the block diagram.

b. Calculate the overall transfer function of this system.

2- The iteration time of a digital controller is 1 s. Would this controller be

appropriate for the following?

a. A robot that paint sprays cars

b. A solar panel control system that tracks the sun across the sky

3- Give an example (other than in this lecture) of the following:

a. A time-driven control system
