Model Types
1. Linear versus Nonlinear Models2. Time-Variant versus Time-Invariant Models3. Continuous versus Discrete Models
The Control Design and Simulation Module supports :
• Both linear and nonlinear models. • Time-invariant models • Continuous and discrete models.
Model Forms
Systems described as:
– Single-input single-output (SISO) systems.– Single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems.– Multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems.– Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
systems.
Model Forms
• The first step in working with the Control Design toolkit is inputting a model to work with. The Control Design Toolkit can work with
• Transfer Function (TF)• State Space (SS)• Zero Pole Gain (ZPK) models.
Constructing Dynamic System Models
Use the CD Construct Transfer Function Model VI to create continuous SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO system models in transfer function form.
Constructing Transfer Function.vi
Sampling Time (s) defines whether the model represents a continuous-time system or a discrete-time system.
If the model represents a continuous-time system. Sampling Time (s) must equal zero.
If the model represents a discrete-time system, Sampling Time (s) must be greater than zero and equal to the sampling rate, in seconds, of the discrete system.
• Numerator contains the constant coefficients, in ascending order. The coefficients take the following form: b0 + b1s + ... +bmsm.
• Denominator contains the constant coefficients, in ascending order. The coefficients take the following form: a0 + a1s + ... +ansn.
• Delay is the transport time delay that might exist in the system.

SISO Transfer Function Model
SISO Transfer Function ModelUse the CD Draw Transfer Function Equation VI to displays the transferfunction equation of the model.
Display format specifies the format in which this VI displays the equation.
Output (row) specifies the index number of the output row from which to draw the transfer function matrix. The index is zero-based. The default is –1, which draws all outputs.
Input (column) specifies the index number of the input column from which to draw the transfer function matrix. The index is zero-based. The default is –1, which draws all inputs.
SISO Symbolic Transfer Function Model
SISO Transfer Function Model
• If you know the coefficients of the discrete transfer function model, you can enter in the appropriate values for Numerator and Denominator and set the Sampling Time (s) to a value greater than zero. Figure shows this process using a sampling
time of 10 µs.
SISO Transfer Function Model• If you do not know the coefficients of the discrete transfer function model, you
must use the CD Convert Continuous to Discrete VI for the conversion. Set the Sampling Time (s) parameter of this VI to a value greater than zero.
Converting from a continuous model to a discrete model results in thefollowing equation:

syntax.
SIMO, MISO, and MIMO Transfer Function Models
You can define the transfer function of this MIMO system by using the following transfer function matrix H, where each element represents a SISO transfer function.
Suppose the following equations define the SISO transfer functions between each input-output pair.H11 & H21 has one input U1 and two outputs Y1 & Y2
H11 & H12 has two inputs U1 and U2 and one output Y1

Constructing Zero-Pole-Gain Models
• Use the CD Construct Zero-Pole-Gain Model VI to create this continuous zero-pole-gain model.
• You create SIMO, MISO, and MIMO zero-pole-gain models the same way you create SIMO, MISO, and MIMO transfer function models.
• You create symbolic zero-pole-gain models the same way you create symbolic transfer function models.
Constructing State-Space Models
Constructing State-Space Models• Using the RLC Circuit Example, the following equations
define a continuous state-space model.
• The following matrices define a state-space model where R = 20 Ω, L = 50 mH,and C = 10 µF.
Constructing State-Space Models
• Use the CD Construct State-Space Model VIto create this continuous state-space model.
• You create SIMO, MISO, and MIMO state-space models the same way you create SIMO, MISO, and MIMO transfer function models.
Model FormsControl Design and Simulation Module represents dynamic system models in the following three forms: transfer function, zero-pole-gain, and state-space.

Connecting Models in SeriesCD Series VI
Output Model 1 specifies the output number of the first model that is connected to an input of the second model as specified by Input Model 2. Connections uses the index number of the input and output to identify the input-output pair. The indexes are zero-based.
Input Model 2 is the input number of the second model that is connected to the output of the first model as specified by Output Model 1. Connections uses the index number of the input and output to identify the input-output pair. The indexes are zero-based.
Connections specifies which outputs of the first model this VI connects to which inputs of the second model.

Connecting Models in Parallel• A parallel connection creates a single model from two separate
systems that share common inputs. • You also can use a parallel connection to add or subtract outputs
of two subsystems and represent them as a single output.• Use the CD Parallel VI to connect systems in parallel.
