Block Diagram Subsystem Reduction

This document discusses reducing block diagrams of multiple subsystems to a single block representing the transfer function. It describes block diagrams of linear time-invariant systems consisting of summing junctions, pick-off points, and the three fundamental configurations of cascade, parallel, and feedback forms. Block diagrams can be algebraically reduced by multiplying transfer functions in cascade form, adding or subtracting in parallel form, and moving blocks to simplify the diagram. An example is provided of reducing a block diagram to a single transfer function.

Multiple Block Diagram

Reduction
Objective:

Reduce block diagram of multiple


subsystems to a single block
representing the transfer function.
What is a Block Diagram?
 A shorthand pictorial
representation of the
cause and effect
relationship between
the input and output of
a physical system
Block diagram of a linear time – invariant
system consists of four elements:
Block diagram of a linear time – invariant
system consists of four elements:
Summing Junction
the characteristic of summing
junction is that the output
signal is the algebraic sum of
the input signals
Block diagram of a linear time – invariant
system consists of four elements:
Pick – off Points
Distributes the input signal
𝑅(𝑠), undiminished , to several
output points.
The three fundamental configurations in
which blocks can be connected:
Cascade form
Parallel form
Feedback form
The three fundamental configurations
in which blocks can be connected:
Cascade form:
 Can be algebraically
combined by multiplication
of transfer functions
 Each signal is derived from
the product of the input
times the transfer function
The three fundamental configurations
in which blocks can be connected:
Parallel Form
 Parallel subsystems have a common input and output
 Any finite number of blocks can be algebraically
combined by either addition or subtraction
The three fundamental configurations
in which blocks can be connected:
Feedback Form
