Using block diagram algebra, reduce the block diagram to find the transfer function T = U
.
Simplify the transfer function as much as possible to recieve full credit.

Problem 2: Transfer Function (4 points) Find the transfer function r
for the following system:
r a b ++ y
+- ++
The best way to solve this problem is by writing a system of equations involving the signals
a and b. It is probably impossible (or very difficult) to solve this problem using only block
diagram manipulations, whereas the use of Masons rule is possible but overly complicated.
Equations involving the signals a and b:
a = r Gb (1)
b = a + Gy (2)
y =a+b (3)
a = r Ga G2 y
y = 2a + Gy
which lead to
r G2 y 2 G G2
y=2 + Gy = r+ y

from Va (s) to (s).

marginally stable.

This closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. 1 + K > 0 and 4 > 1 + K
1 < K < 3
Therefore, the closed-loop system becomes marginally stable when K = 1 or 3.
(b) (1 points) Using Ziegler-Nichols tuning, find the gain kp needed for P (proportional) control.
As we increase K from 0, the closed-loop system becomes marginally stable when K = 3,
which means that the ultimate gain is Ku = 3. Thus, the ultimate sensitivity method leads
us to kp = K2u = 32 .
(c) (2 points) The ultimate
period corresponding to the Ziegler-Nichols tuning in (b) can be
shown to be Pu = 2. What should be the PI, PID control gains?
With the ultimate gain Ku = 3 in (b), we have
