linearity
➢ Highly accurate as any error arising is corrected due to presence of feedback
signal
➢ Bandwidth range is large
➢ Facilitates automation
➢ The sensitivity of system may be made small to make system more stable
➢ This system is less affected by noise
Disadvantages of CLCS
➢They are costlier
➢They are complicated to design
➢Required more maintenance
➢Feedback leads to oscillatory response

21. Feedback and its Effect:
The effect of parameter variation on the system performance can be analyzed by
sensitivity of the system.
➢Effect of Parameter variation in open loop control system:
Consider an open loop control system whose transfer function will be
G(s)
R(s) C(s) C(s
)
R(s)
C s =
G s
. R s
= G(s) = T(s)
Let ∆G(s) be the changes in G(s) due to parameter variation, the corresponding
change in the output be ∆C(s)
C(s) + ∆C(s) = [G(s) + ∆G(s)] R(s)
= G(s) . R(s) + ∆G(s) . R(s)
C(s) + ∆C(s) = C(s) + ∆G(s) . R(s)
Therefore, ∆C(s) = ∆G(s) . R(s)
➢Effect of Parameter variation in closed loop control system:
R(s) C(s)
G(s)
H(s)
B(s)
+
±
E(s)
Consider a closed loop control system whose
transfer function is given by,
TF = T(s) =
C (s) = G(s)
R(s) 1 ± G(s).H(s) 21

=

C(s) + ∆C(s =

1 ± [G(s) + ∆G(s)] .
H(s)
∆C(s) =
G(s) . R(s) + ∆G(s) . R(s)
1 ± [G(s) + ∆G(s)] .
H(s)

Assumption: G(s) . H(s) ≈ [G(s) + ∆G(s)] .

∆C(s) =

1 ± G(s) .

∆C(s =

Therefore,
|1 ± G(s) . H(s)| ≥
1
Let ∆G(s) be the changes in G(s) due to
parameter variation in system.
The corresponding change in the output is
∆C(s)
➢ Sensitivity of a control system:
An effect in the system parameters due
to parameter variation can be
studied mathematically by defining
the term sensitivity of a control system.
Let the variable in a system is varying by T
due to the variation in parameters K of the
system. The sensitivity of system
parameters K is expressed by,

It can be observed that the new time
constant due to unity feedback system
isT

. Thus for positive value of k > 1, the
time constant

is less than T.
Thus it can be concluded from
equation
(4) and (5) that the time constant
of closed loop system is less than open
loop system. We know that lesser the
time constant faster is the response.
Hence feedback improves the time
system.

29. Effect of feedback on overall gain of a control
system:
Consider an open loop system with overall transfer function = G(s) = overall gain of
the system.
If the feedback H(s) is introduced in such a system, the overall gain
becomes
G(s)
1 ± G(s) . H(s)
.
The +ve and –ve sign in the denominator gets decide by the sign of feedback. For a
–ve
feedback the gain G(s) is reduced by
G(s)
1 + G(s) .
H(s)
,
so due to –ve feedback overall gain of the system
reduces.
Effect of feedback on stability of a control system:
Consider an open loop system with overall transfer function = G(s) =

Now, let the unity feedback (H(s) = 1) is introduced in the system. The overall
transfer
function of closed loop becomes

The closed loop poles is now located at s = - (T +

concluded that the feedback effect the stability of the system.
There are two main types of feedback control systems: negative feedback and
positive feedback. In a positive feedback control system the setpoint and output values are
added. In a negative feedback control the setpoint and output values are subtracted.
As a rule negative feedback systems are more stable than positive feedback
systems. Negative feedback also makes systems more immune to random variations in
component values and

33. Block Diagram of a Control System:
✓ If the system is simple & has limited parameters then it is easy to analyze such
systems using the methods discussed earlier i.e transfer function, if the system is
complicated and also have number of parameters then it is very difficult to analyze it.
✓ To overcome this problem block diagram representation method is used.
✓ It is a simple way to represent any practically complicated system. In this
each component of the system is represented by a separate block known as functional
block.
✓ These blocks are interconnected in a proper sequence.
✓ The block diagram has following five basic elements associated with it
a) Blocks
b) T.F of elements shown inside the block
c) Summing point
d) Take off points
e) Arrow
✓ For a closed loop systems, the functions of comparing the different signals is
indicated by the summing point, while a point from which a signal is taken for
feedback purpose is indicated by take off point in block diagram.
✓ The signal can travel along the arrow only. 33

34. Advantages of block diagram:
a) Very simple to construct the block diagram for complicated systems.
b) The function of individual element can be visualised from the block diagram.
c) Individual as well as the overall performance of the system can be studied by
using transfer function.
d) Overall closed loop transfer function can be easily calculated
using block diagram reduction rule.
Disadvantages of block diagram:
a) Block diagram does not includes about physical construction of the system.
b) Source of energy is generally not shown in the block diagram.

51. Signal Flow Graph (SFG) Representation:
1. SFG is a graphical representation of variables of a set of linear algebraic equations
representing the system.
2. Variables are represented by small circles called nodes.
3. The line joining the nodes are called branches which is associated with a T.F and
an arrow.
4. Eg: V = IR
5. Let V & I are the variables in which I is the input & V is the output
R
V = IR
I
Properties of SFG:
1.SFG is only applicable to LTI system.
2.The signal gets multiplied by branch gain when it travels along it.
3.The value of variable is represented by any node is the algebraic sum of the signals
entering at the node.
4. The no. of branches leaving a node doesn’t affect the value of variable represented
by
51
that node. Shadab. A. Siddique
52. Introduction
✓SFG is a graphical representation of variables of a
set of linear algebraic equations
representing the system.
✓Variables are represented by small circles called nodes.
✓The directed lines joining the nodes are called branches which is associated with a T.F and
an arrow.
✓Alternative method to block diagram representation, developed by Samuel Jefferson Mason.
✓Advantage: the availability of a flow graph gain formula, also called Mason’s gain formula.
✓It depicts the flow of signals from one point of a
system to another and gives the relationships among the signals.
Fundamentals of Signal Flow Graphs
• Consider a simple equation below and draw its signal flow
graph:
•
The signal flow graph of the equation is shown below;
• Every variable in a signal flow graph is represented by a Node.
• Every transmission function in a signal flow graph is represented by a
Branch.
• Branches are always unidirectional.
• The arrow in the branch denotes the direction of the signal flow.

Signal-Flow Graph Model 3:
• An input node or source contain only the outgoing branches. i.e., X1
• An output node or sink contain only the incoming branches. i.e., X4
• A path is a continuous, unidirectional succession of branches along which no node is
passed more than ones. i.e.,
X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 X1 to X2 to X4 X2 to X3 to X4
• A forward path is a path from the input node to the output node. i.e.,
X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 , and X1 to X2 to X4 , are forward paths.
Shadab. A. Siddique
54
55. • A feedback path or feedback loop is a path which originates and terminates on the
same node. i.e.; X2 to X3 and back to X2 is a feedback path.
• A self-loop is a feedback loop consisting of a single branch. i.e.; A33 is a self loop.
• The gain of a branch is the transmission function of that branch.
• The path gain is the product of branch gains encountered in traversing a path. i.e. the
gain of forwards path X1 to X2 to X3 to X4 is A21A32A43

56. • The loop gain is the product of the branch gains of the loop. i.e., the loop gain of the
feedback loop from X2 to X3 and back to X2 is A32A23.
• Two loops, paths, or loop and a path are said to be non-touching if they have no nodes in
common.

63. Mason’s Rule (Mason, 1953)
n = number of forward
paths.
Pi = the i th forward-path gain.
∆ = Determinant of the system
∆i = Determinant of the ith forward path
• ∆ is called the signal flow graph determinant or characteristic function. Since ∆=0 is
the
• The block diagram reduction technique requires successive application of fundamental
relationships in order to arrive at the system transfer function.
• On the other hand, Mason’s rule for reducing a signal-flow graph to a single transfer
function requires the application of one formula.
• The formula was derived by S. J. Mason when he related the signal-flow graph to the
simultaneous equations that can be written from the graph.
Mason’s Gain Formula:
• The transfer function, C(s)/R(s), of a system represented by a signal-flow graph
is;

Shadab. A. Siddique
64. • ∆ = 1- (sum of all individual loop gains) + (sum of the products of the gains of
all possible two loops that do not touch each other) – (sum of the products of the gains of
all possible three loops that do not touch each other) + … and so forth with sums of
higher number of non-touching loop gains.
• ∆i = value of Δ for the part of the block diagram that does not touch the i-th forward path
(Δi = 1 if there are no non-touching loops to the i-th path.)
Systematic approach for problems:
1. Calculate forward path gain Pi for each forward path i.
2. Calculate all loop transfer functions
3. Consider non-touching loops 2 at a time
4. Consider non-touching loops 3 at a time

72. Example#4: Find the control ratio C/R for the system given below.
Solution:
•The signal flow graph is shown in
the figure.
•The two forward path gains are
•The five feedback loop gains are
• All feedback loops touches the two
forward paths, hence
• Hence the control ratio
• There are no non-touching loops,
hence

76. Mathematic Modeling of Dynamical
Systems
• The set of mathematical equation describing the dynamic characteristics of a system is
called mathematical model of a system.
• Dynamics/ mathematical equation of many systems can
be written in terms of differential equations
– Mechanical, thermal, electrical, economic, biological systems etc.
• We said that these D.E.’s can be derived using basic physical laws
• All systems we will study will be ‘causal’, i.e. the system’s response at any
depends only on past and not future inputs
• Recall transfer functions:
time ‘t’
– It is the ratio of Laplace Transform of output to Laplace Transform of input, when
initial conditions are zero.
– We assume
• Zero initial conditions
• Linearity
• Time Invariance

77. Similarities in Mechanical and Electrical
Systems
3 basic components in mechanical systems:
–Mass
–Spring
–Damper
✓ 3 basic components in electrical systems:
– Resistance
– Capacitor
– Inductor
• Basic form of differential equations is the same.
• Therefore, learning to model one type of system easily leads to modeling method for
the other.
• Also, electrical and mechanical systems can be easily cascaded in block diagrams due to this
similarity.
• In fact, many other types of systems have similar forms
• We will begin with electrical systems. This will make modeling mech easier!
Modelling Electrical Systems (Nise)
• Current (i) is the rate of flow of charge (q)
• Taking Laplace
transform
• Impedance (complex resistance) is defined as
• It’s mathematical inverse is called admittance.

Components
• We will combine these elements in complex networks using Kirchoff’s
Laws
– Current and Voltages in a loop sum to zeros

80. Simplifying the Procedure
• Let us look at this in another
way.
• Let’s define impedance (similar to resistance) as
• Unlike resistance, impedance is also applicable to capacitors &
inductors.
• It represents information about dynamic behavior of components.

81. Solving Multi-Loop Electric
Circuits
• For multiple loops and loads, use the following recipe.
– Replace passive element values with their impedances.
– Replace all sources and time variables with their Laplace
transform.
– Assume a transform current and a current direction in each mesh.
– Write Kirchhoff’s voltage law around each mesh.
– Solve the simultaneous equations for the output.
– Form the transfer function.

82. Multi-loop
Example
• Find the transfer function I2(s) / V
(s)
• Solving for Loop 1 and Loop 2
(1)
(2)
• There are various ways to solve this.
• This will yield the following transfer
function

83. Summarizing the
Method
• Let us look at the pattern in the last
example
• This form will help us write such equations rapidly
• Mechanical equations of motion (covered next) have the same form. So, this
form is very useful!

85. Mechanical Systems (Translational)
• Many concepts applied to electrical networks can also be
applied to mechanical systems via analogies.
• This will also allow us to model hydraulic/pneumatic/thermal systems.
85
86. Electrical/Mechanical
Analogies
• Mechanical systems, like electrical networks, have 3 passive, linear
components:
– Two of them (spring and mass) are energy-storage elements; one of them,
the viscous damper, dissipates energy.
– The two energy-storage elements are analogous to the two electrical energy-
storage elements, the inductor and capacitor. The energy dissipater is
analogous to electrical resistance.
• Displacement ‘x’ is analogous to current I
• Force ‘f’ is analogous to voltage ‘v’
• Impedance (Z=V/I) is therefore Z=F/X
• Since, [Sum of Impedances] I(s) = [Sum of applied voltages]
• Hence, [Sum of Impedances] X(s) = [Sum of applied forces]

89. Transfer
Function??
• System has two degrees of freedom, since each mass can be moved in the
horizontal direction while the other is held still.
• 2 simultaneous equations of motion will be required to describe system.
• The two equations come from free-body diagrams of each mass.
• Forces on M1 are due to (a) its own motion and (b) motion of M2 transmitted to M1
through the system.
