Introduction
• A Block Diagram is a shorthand pictorial representation of
the cause-and-effect relationship of a system.
• The interior of the rectangle representing the block usually
contains a description of or the name of the element, gain,
or the symbol for the mathematical operation to be
performed on the input to yield the output.
• The arrows represent the direction of information or signal
flow.

y
Introduction
• The operations of addition and subtraction have a special
representation.
• The block becomes a small circle, called a summing point, with
the appropriate plus or minus sign associated with the arrows
entering the circle.
• The output is the algebraic sum of the inputs.
• Any number of inputs may enter a summing point.

• Some books put a cross in the circle.
Introduction
• In order to have the same signal or variable be an input
to more than one block or summing point, a takeoff (or
pickoff) point is used.
• This permits the signal to proceed unaltered along
several different paths to several destinations.
Example-1
• Consider the following equations in which 𝑥1 , 𝑥2 , 𝑥3 , are
variables, and 𝑎1 , 𝑎2 are general coefficients or mathematical
operators.

x3  a1 x1  a2 x2  5
Example-1
x3  a1 x1  a2 x2  5

Canonical Form of A Feedback Control System
Characteristic Equation
• The control ratio is the closed loop transfer function of the system.
C( s )
G( s )

R( s ) 1  G( s ) H ( s )

• The denominator of closed loop transfer function determines the
characteristic equation of the system.
• Which is usually determined as:

1  G( s )H ( s )  0
