Lecture 1. Introduction To Control Systems Engineering

Control Systems Engineering involves the arrangement of physical components to command, direct, or regulate systems as a whole. It distinguishes between open-loop systems, which do not compensate for disturbances, and closed-loop systems, which utilize feedback to correct errors and improve accuracy. Examples include burglar alarms for open-loop systems and antenna control systems for closed-loop systems.

Control Systems Engineering

INTRODUCTION
Definition of Terms

 A system is an arrangement of physical components


connected or related in such a manner as to act as an
entire unit.
 Control means to command, direct or regulate.
Control System is an arrangement of physical
components connected or related is such a manner as
to command, direct or regulate itself or another system
to act as one or as an entire unit.

Simplified Description
of a Control System

Input- input is the stimulus, excitation or


command applied to the control system.
Output- output is the actual response
obtained from the control system.
Example (Elevator Response)
Reasons of building Control System

 Power amplification
 Remote control
 Convenience of input form
 Compensation for disturbance
System Configurations

 Open-loop System
 Closed-loop Systems
System Configurations

 Open-loop System

➢ Input transducer converts the input to a form used by the


controller.
➢ The controller drives a process or a plant.
➢ The input is sometimes called the reference and the output can be
called the controlled variable.
System Configurations

 Open-loop System

➢ Open loop system cannot compensate for the disturbance and


cannot correct any error at the output.
➢ The input and output are not related.
➢ Open loop systems are simply commanded by the input.
➢ Examples: oven toaster, gas oven, washing machine, burglar alarm
Example of Open-loop System

 Burglar Alarm System


System Configurations

 Closed-loop (Feedback Control) System

➢ Input transducer converts the input to a form used by the


controller.
➢ Output transducer measures the output response and converts
to a form used by the controller
➢ The controller drives a process or a plant.
System Configurations

 Closed-loop (Feedback Control) System

➢ The closed-loop system compensates for the disturbances,


thereby, correcting error at the output.
➢ Example is the antenna control system.
➢ Closed loop system has greater accuracy than open loop.
➢ Less sensitive to noise,disturbance, and change in environment
