WHAT IS A CONTROL SYSTEM?
A control System is a device, or set of devices to manage,
command, direct or regulate the behaviour of other
device(s) or system(s).

CONTROL ENGINEERING
WHY CONTROL SYSTEM IS NEEDED
Actuate Sense
Throttle Speed
Compute
Ensure stability
System maintains desired operating point (hold steady speed).
Improve performance
System responds rapidly to changes (accelerate to 6 m/sec).
Guarantee robustness
System performs adequately under certain operation conditions.

CONTROL ENGINEERING
PASSIVE VS ACTIVE SYSTEM
Active System: Active vibration control systems are closed loop
feedback systems consisting of sensors, controllers and actuators.
Passive System: Passive damping generally use viscoelastic materials
for vibration control i.e. spring and damper.

TYPES OF CONTROL SYSTEM
Open Loop vs. Closed Loop
Feedback vs. Feedforward
CONTROL ENGINEERING
OPEN LOOP CONTROL
Open-Loop Control Systems utilize a controller or control actuator to
obtain the desired response.
Output has no effect on the control action.
In other words output is neither measured nor fedback.

CLOSED-LOOP / FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEMS
Closed-Loop Control Systems utilizes feedback to compare the actual
output to the desired output response.

CONTROL ENGINEERING
FEEDFORWARD CONTROL
Feedforward input output
reference PLANT
Controller
Control element responds to change in command or
measured disturbance in a pre-defined way
Based on prediction of plant behavior (requires model)
Can react before error actually occurs
Overcome sluggish dynamics and delays
Does not jeopardize stability
CONTROL ENGINEERING
ONE IMPLEMENTATION OF FEEDFORWARD
Input needed
Desired output Inverse model for desired output
PLANT
of system output
Model-based prediction of input
Ideally consists of exact inverse model of the plant
Can compensate for known plant dynamics, delays (before
you get errors)
No sensors needed
System response must be predictable
CONTROL ENGINEERING
LIMITATIONS OF FEEDFORWARD CONTROL
Effects of disturbance or command input must be predictable
May not generalize to other conditions
Will not be accurate if the system changes
Example:
Car approaching hill See how steep the hill is
(measurement) Push on pedal to keep steady speed
Feedback is to wait for slowing before adjusting pedal.
CONTROL ENGINEERING
WHY USE FEEDBACK CONTROL
or better, why do you need a control system at all?
consider ovens, A/C units, airplanes, manufacturing, pumping
stations, etc
What are we controlling?
some physical quantity (constant)
a dynamic behavior (a function of time)
We need to 'tell' the system how we want it to behave
CONTROL ENGINEERING
OPEN, CLOSED AND FEEDFORWARD CONTROL
FeedBack/closed loop
FeedBack/closed loop + Feedforward
CONTROL ENGINEERING
HOW DO WE TELL A SYSTEM HOW TO BEHAVE?
turn a dial
type a number
But we need to know how well we are doing!
sensor data (temperature, pressure, speed, position, light, etc)

Disturbances A disturbance is a signal that tends to adversely affect
the value of the system. It is an unwanted input of the system.
If a disturbance is generated within the system, it is called
internal disturbance. While an external disturbance is generated
outside the system.
CONTROL ENGINEERING
DEFINITIONS
Controlled Variable It is the quantity or condition that is measured
and Controlled. Normally controlled variable is the output of the
control system.
Manipulated Variable It is the quantity of the condition that is varied
by the controller so as to affect the value of controlled variable.
Control Control means measuring the value of controlled variable of
the system and applying the manipulated variable to the system to
correct or limit the deviation of the measured value from a desired
value.
