Block Diagram Reduction Example

The document presents solutions to two problems involving the reduction of control systems to single transfer functions, T(s)=C(s)/R(s). The first problem involves manipulating transfer functions through summing junctions and feedback paths, while the second problem focuses on combining transfer functions and identifying equivalent feedback. Both solutions apply standard feedback formulas to derive the closed-loop transfer functions.

PROBLEM 1

Reduce the system shown in the Figure to a single transfer function, T(s)=C(s)/R(s).

SOLUTION:
Push G2(s) to the left past the summing junction.
Collapse the summing junctions and add the parallel transfer functions.

Push G1(s)G2(s) + G5(s) to the right past the summing junction.

Collapse summing junctions and add feedback paths.

Applying the feedback formula,

G3 ( s) + G1 ( s)G2 ( s)
T ( s) =
 G2 ( s)G4 ( s) 
1 + [G3 ( s) + G1 ( s)G2 ( s)]  H +
 G3 ( s) + G1 ( s)G2 ( s) 
G3 ( s) + G1 ( s)G2 ( s)
=
1 + H [G3 ( s) + G1 ( s)G2 ( s)] + G2 ( s)G4 ( s)
PROBLEM 2

Reduce the system shown in the Figure to a block, T(s)=C(s)/R(s).

SOLUTION:

Combine G6 and G7 yielding G6G7. Add G4 and obtain the following diagram:
Next combine G3 and G4+G6G7.

Push G5 to the left past the pickoff point.

G2
Notice that the feedback is in parallel form. Thus the equivalent feedback, Heq(s) = +
G5

G3(G4+G6G7) + G8. Since the forward path transfer function is G(s) = G eq(s) = G1G5, the closed-

loop transfer function is

Geq(s)
T(s) = .
1+Geq(s)Heq(s)
Hence,
