EEE351 Lec01 4
Control System (Controller + Plant)

Elevator, laptop fan, robot arm, most powered items in modern life

Major objectives
- transient response
- steady-state error
- stability
- (robustness)
- (implementation cost)
EEE351 Lec01 5
Primary Reasons to Build Control Systems
1. Power gain/amplification
2. Remote control (Help interfacing between systems)
3. Convenience of input form
4. Compensation for disturbances
5. System stabilization or user acceptability

EEE351 Lec01 6
Some History
18th century by James Watt

steam supply
valve “flyballs”

linkage

to steam engine shaft

Controller (flyball speed governor and valve) for Plant (steam engine)
- too fast -> ascending flyballs -> linkage closes valve
- too slow -> descending flyballs -> linkage opens valve EEE351 Lec01 7
Some History
2nd half of the 19th century ~ 1st half of the 20th century
- Routh, Hurwitz, PID, Bode, Nyquist, Root locus, etc.
- Classical topics we will cover in this course

Until now
- Modern development with digital computer and numerous applications
- Kalman filtering: we cannot cover in this course.
modern techniques will help you understand KF better.
is behind the success of space missions, etc.
is still crucial in estimation, localization, tracking, etc.

EEE351 Lec01 8
Open-Loop and Closed-Loop

open-loop: simple fan, simple

toaster, probably tuned for
nominal conditions

closed-loop: laptop fan, air

conditioner w/ thermometer,
high-tech toaster w/ many
sensors, controlled by circuits
or computers

EEE351 Lec01 9
Design Process
e.g. antenna azimuth position control system

EEE351 Lec01 10
Step 1: Transform Requirements Into a Physical System

Hypothetically,
Vendors & Director
Architect
Systems engineer
EEE351 Lec01 11
Step 2: Draw a Functional Block Diagram

Hypothetically,
Architect
Systems engineer
Hardware engineer
EEE351 Lec01 12
Step 3: Create a Schematic
Hypothetically,
Hardware engineer
General engineer
Control systems engineer

EEE351 Lec01 13
Step 4: Develop a Mathematical Model
Step 5: Reduce the Block Diagram
Use Physical Laws (Kirchhoff’s voltage/current laws, Newton’s laws)

Hypothetically,
General engineer
Control systems engineer
EEE351 Lec01 14
Step 6: Analyze and Design
Analyze, design, and test
- to see that requirements and specifications are met.
- may be control engineer’s job entirely.
- may lead to interaction with systems engineer to iterate.
- may lead to interaction with testing engineer for real testing.

Standard tests
- impulse, step, ramp, parabola, sinusoid signals, etc.
- other domain-specific unit tests from experience

Computer-aided design by MATLAB and LabVIEW is essential.

EEE351 Lec01 15
Design Process

e.g. antenna azimuth position control system

EEE351 Lec01 16
Control Systems Engineer

- Top level of large projects: concept, requirements, specification,

interconnection, plans, procedures (true for the instructor’s experience)

- Broad arena and interactions with numerous branches of engineering

(this could be good or bad depending on your character)

- Top-down design experience from this course (exaggerated, not wrong)

vs. Bottom-up design for most engineering subjects
