2
After this presentation you will be able to:
 Explain the function of an automatic
control system.
 Identify a block diagram representation of
a physical system
 Explain the difference between an open
loop and closed loop control system
 Define a transfer function and compute
the gain for sinusoidal input/output cases.
 Reduce block diagram systems using
algebra.
The Control Problem
lesson1et438a.pptx
3
Fundamental Control Concepts
h
Maintain a variable of process at a
desired value while rejecting the
effects of outside disturbances by
manipulating another system variable.
Examples:
Heating and Cooling homes and offices
Automobile cruise control
Hold the position of a mechanical linkage
Maintain level in a tank
Qout depends on h
If Qout = Qin, h constant
Qout > Qin, tank empties
Qout < Qin, tank overflows

Transfer function - ratio of the output to the input of a control
system component. Generally a function of frequency and
time.

Closed Loop Control
lesson1et438a.pptx
11
Closed loop control modifies output based on measured
values of the control variable. Measured value compared
to desired value and used to maintain desired value when
disturbances occur. Closed loop control uses feedback of
output to input.
