I. Comprehension
1. The feedback control system is made up of sensors, controllers, process
systems, and other components. A feedback control system's key components
are input, the controlled process, output, sensor elements, controllers, and
actuation devices.
2. Open-Loop Control Systems utilize a controller or control actuator to obtain
the desired response while Closed-Loop Control Systems utilizes feedback to
compare the actual output to the desired output response.
3. A transfer function represents the relationship between a control system's
output signal and the input signal for all possible input values. The transfer
function is represented by blocks, and the various input and output signals are
represented by arrows in a block diagram of a control system.
4. -Operational amplifiers enhance the voltage difference between the inputs,
making them useful for signal chain, power, and control applications.
-Low gain, medium gain, and high gain amplifiers are the three categories of
operating amplifiers. Low gain amplifiers are used to match impedance and
as buffers and have a low gain value. The medium gain amplifier is often
employed in the recording of ECG waveforms. Finally, the sensitive data is
recorded using a high gain amplifier.
5. -Determine a physical system and specifications from requirements.
-Draw a functional block diagram.
- Represent the physical system as a schematic.
-Use the schematic to obtain a mathematical model, such as a block diagram.
-Reduce the block diagram.
-Analyze and design the system to meet specified requirements and
specifications that include stability, transient response, and steady-state
performance.
