Example : In a room we need to regulate the temperature and humidity for comfortable living. Air-
conditioners are provided with thermostat. By measuring the actual room temperature and compared
it with desired temperature, an error signal is produced, the thermostat turns ON the compressor or
OFF the compressor. The block diagram is shown in Fig. 1.4.

“ELEMENTS OR COMPONENTS OF CLOSED Loop SYSTEMS
The various components of closed loop system are shown in Fig. 1.5 Fip. 1.8.
Command : The command is the externally produced input and independent of the feedback, contro}
system. ; :
Reference input element : This produces the standard signals proportional to the command,
Error detector: The error detector receives the measured signal and compare it with reference input,
The difference of two signals produces the error signal.
Control clement : This regulates the output according to the signal obtained from error detector.
Controlled system : This represents what we are controlling by the feedback loop,
Feedback element : This element fed back the
1¢ output to the error detector for comparison with the
reference input.

Consider a linear system having input r(t) and c(t) is the output of the system, the input-output

POLES : The poles of G(s) are those values of 's' which make G(s) tend to infinity. For example in

If either poles or zeros coincide, then such type of poles or zeros are called multiple poles or
multiple zeros, otherwise they are known as simple poles or simple zeros. Multiple poles are due to
the repetitive factor in denominator and multiple zeros are due to the repetitive factor in numerator
