Control System

The document introduces the topic of control systems design. It describes control systems as interconnected components designed to achieve a desired purpose. Modern control engineering involves strategies for improving manufacturing processes, energy efficiency, vehicle control and more. The chapter also discusses the "design gap" between real physical systems and simplified models. An iterative design process can effectively address this gap while balancing complexity, performance and cost.

In this chapter we describe a general process for designing a control system.

A control system consisting of interconnected components is designed to achieve a
desired purpose. To understand the purpose of a control system, it is useful to
examine examples of control systems through the course of history. These early
systems incorporated many of the same ideas of feedback that are in use today.

Modern control engineering practice includes the use of control design strategies for
improving manufacturing processes, the efficiency of energy use, advanced
automobile control, including rapid transit, among others.

We also discuss the notion of a design gap. The gap exists between the complex
physical system under investigation and the model used in the control system
synthesis.

The iterative nature of design allows us to handle the design gap effectively while
accomplishing necessary tradeoffs in complexity, performance, and cost in order to
meet the design specifications.

Introduction
System An interconnection of elements and devices for a desired purpose.
Control System An interconnection of components forming a system
configuration that will provide a desired response.
Process The device, plant, or system
under control. The input and output
relationship represents the cause-and-
effect relationship of the process.

Introduction
Multivariable Control System
Open-Loop Control Systems
utilize a controller or control
actuator to obtain the desired
response.
Closed-Loop Control
Systems utilizes feedback to
compare the actual output to
the desired output response.

18th Century James Watts centrifugal governor for the speed control of a steam
engine.
1920s Minorsky worked on automatic controllers for steering ships.
1930s Nyquist developed a method for analyzing the stability of controlled systems
1940s Frequency response methods made it possible to design linear closed-loop
control systems
1950s Root-locus method due to Evans was fully developed
1960s State space methods, optimal control, adaptive control and
1980s Learning controls are begun to investigated and developed.
Present and on-going research fields. Recent application of modern control theory
includes such non-engineering systems such as biological, biomedical, economic and
socio-economic systems
