Introduction
Overview of Control Systems
• Control systems are in abundance in modern civilization
• They can be found in:
• Automatic assembly lines • Power systems
• Machine-tool control • Robotics
• Space technology • Micro-Electro-Mechanical
• Weapon systems Systems (MEMS)
• Computer control • Nanotechnology and many
others places
• Transportation systems
• Even the control of inventory and social and economic
systems may be approached from the theory of automatic
control

Basic Components
• The basic ingredients of a control system
• Objectives of control
• Control-system components
• Results or outputs

Basic Components and Systems
• Controller philosophy
of the sun-tracking
system
• Ensure that the
collector is pointed
toward the sun in
the morning
• Constantly calculate the sun’s rate
for the two axes (azimuth and elevation)
of control during the day
• Use the sun rate and sun sensor information as inputs to
generate proper motor commands 7

Control System Response
• Response of a position-output control system
• Two “gain” solutions, showing effects on the output response
• High controller gain
• Fast approach to
desired output
• Overshoot
• Oscillatory
• Low controller gain
• Slow approach to
desired output
• Long settling time
• Control goal

The Control System Design Process
11
Control System Types
• Open-loop control systems
• Non-feedback systems
12
Control System Types
• Closed-loop control systems
• Feedback control systems
• Closed-loop response
14
Feedback
• What is feedback, and what are its effects?
• Feedback is used to reduce the error between
the reference input and the system output
• Feedback also has effects on such system performance
characteristics as stability, bandwidth, overall gain,
impedance,
and sensitivity
15
Feedback
• Negative feedback
• The input-output relationship

• r = the input signal Block diagram of feedback system
• y = the output signal
• e = the error
• b = the feedback signal
• The parameters G and H may
be considered as constant gains
