1.0 LEARNING OUTCOMES

Understand the characteristic of time response curve by Scilab software as simulation tool.

2.0 EQUIPMENT

 Computer with Windows operating system

 Scilab Software version 5.4.1 or higher
 Scientific calculator

3.0 PROCEDURE

Task 1: Using Xcos.

1. Xcos is a graphical editor embedded in Scilab software. It is use to design hybrid dynamical
systems models.
2. To start Scilab, double-click the Scilab icon on the desktop or select from pull down menu
from Start.
3. In Scilab menu, click on Application > Xcos to invoke Xcos application.
4. Alternatively, insert command ‘xcos’ at Scilab Console.
5. Xcos application will be lunch immediately.

6. In order to get the output response for the open loop system in below figure, activate Xcos
pallete browser.

Input, u(t) 𝐺(𝑠) = Output, y(t)
𝑠 2 + 2𝑠 + 10

7. In Palette Browser window, select step function block from source category.
8. Repeat the step above to drag CLR (Transfer Function), CSCOPE and CLOCK_c blocks.
9. Right click on CLR block period, and then click on block parameters to adjust its setting as
below.

10. Configure CLOCK_c block period to 0.001

11. Connect all block properly and the final model window will look like this:

12. From main menu, click on Simulation > Setup then set final integration time at 10 second
(1.0E01).
13. Run the model and observe output generated from Scope.
14. U may need to adjust graph scale by click Edit > Figure properties to get better view.

15. To pickup specific point value on graph, click Edit > Start datatip manager then click on
desired point.

Question Task 1:

a) Obtain Peak Value (Vp), Final Value (Vfinal), Peak Time (Tp), Rise time (Tr), Settling time
(Ts) and Percent of overshoot (%OS) from output response graph.
b) From transfer function used in simulation, calculate all step response characteristic
parameters and compare your result with value obtained from Assignment 1(a).
c) Obtain step response for the following transfer function and then compare your result with
(a). (Hint – Comment on Vp, Vfinal, Tp, Tr, Ts, and %OS )

24.542
𝐺(𝑠) =
𝑠2 + 4𝑠 + 24.542

d) Obtain step response for the following transfer function and briefly describe step response
obtained. (Hint – Type of response, Vfinal, and Tr )
4
𝐺(𝑠) = 2
𝑠 + 4𝑠 + 4
e) For a closed loop system with unity feedback and transfer function below, simulate the
output response of the system given a step input.
