B - Lecture3 The Transfer Function and Block Diagram Automatic Control System

The document discusses the transfer function of linear systems. It provides the following key points: - The transfer function is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output variable to the Laplace transform of the input variable, assuming zero initial conditions. - Block diagrams can represent transfer functions using operational blocks that represent system components. Block diagrams provide an intuitive representation of system interconnections. - Transfer functions can be obtained by taking the Laplace transform of the differential equations describing a system. The transfer function represents the input-output relationship of a linear time-invariant system.

The transfer function of a linear system is


defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of
the output variable to the Laplace transform
of the input variable, with all initial conditions
assume to be zero.

The Transfer Function

Note:
The Transfer Function:
Only for the linear time-invariant systems
(constant parameter).
Zero initial conditions.
Dependent on the configuration and the
coefficients of the systems,

Independent on the input and output variables.

Steps to obtain the transfer function

Write the differential equations of the


control system, and assume zero initial
conditions;
Make Laplace transformation, transform the
differential equations into the relevant
algebraic equations;
Deduce: G(s)=C(s)/R(s).

Review:
Steps to obtain the differential equation of control systems
1) Determine the output and input variables of the control systems.
2) Write the differential equations of each systems components in terms of the
physical laws of the components.
* necessary assumption and neglect.
* proper approximation.
3) Dispel the intermediate(across) variables to get the input-output description
which only contains the output and input variables.
4) Formalize the input-output equation to be the standard form:
Input variable on the right of the input-output equation .
Output variable on the left of the input-output equation.
Writing polynomial according to the falling-power order.

2.6 Block Diagram Models

Block diagrams consist of unidirectional, operational


blocks that represent the transfer function of the
variables of interest.
The block diagram models are more intuitive than the
transfer function or differential equation models and may
provide control engineers with a better understanding of
the composition and interconnection of the components of
a system.
