    Give Three Examples of Open-Loop Systems

    Uploaded by

    Famela Gad
    This document contains the answers to a problem set on control systems. It defines key terms like feedback and open-loop systems and lists examples. Feedback systems are used for applications like elevators and robots. They provide advantages like power amplification, remote control and disturbance compensation. Open-loop systems include washing machines and toasters. Closed-loop systems differ in that the output is measured and used to affect the input. The error signal may not always be the difference between input and output, and could instead be called the actuating signal. Computer models allow symbolic calculations and inclusion of nonlinearities. Major design criteria are transient response, steady-state response and stability. A system response has transient and steady-state parts, and instability can

    PROBLEM SETS #1

    1. Name three applications for feedback control systems.

     Elevator
     Robot vehicle or manipulator arm
     Spacecraft
    2. Name three reasons for using feedback control systems

     Power Amplification
     Remote Control
     Compensation for disturbance
    3. Give three examples of open-loop systems.
     Automatic washing machine.
     Bread toaster (time-based)
     Electric hand drier.
    4. Functionally, how do closed-loop systems differ from open-loop systems?

     In closed-loop systems, the output is measured and used (in some way) to affect the control
    input to the system.
    5. State one condition under which the error signal of a feedback control
    system would not be the difference between the input and the
    output.
     If the error signal is not the difference between input and output, then error signal is called
    The actuating signal.
    6. If the error signal is not the difference between input and output, by what general name
    can we describe the error signal?

     Actuating signal
    7. Name two advantages of having a computer in the loop

     Saves labor when making symbolic calculations required in control system analysis and
    design.
     Reduces sensitivity to parameters changes. We can include nonlinearities and other effects
    and test our models for accuracy.
    8. Name three major design criteria for control systems.

     Transient response: the nature of the system's response while it is changing


     Steady-state response: the nature of the response after it has reached steady-state
     Stability: this really comes before anything else
    9. Name the two parts of a system's response

     Transient and steady state.


    10. Physically, what happens to a system that is unstable

     It could lead to self-destruction of the physical device if limit stops are not part of the
    design.
    11. Instability is attributable to what part of the total response?

     Natural response
    12. Describe a typical control system analysis design task

     Evaluate a system's transient response and steady state error to determine if they meet the
    desired specifics
    13. Describe a typical control system design task

     If the steady state error and transient response do not meet the requirements for the
    system, the system's parameters would need to be changed and/or components would need
    to be added.
    14. Adjustments of the forward path gain can cause changes in the transient response. True or
    false?

     TRUE
    15. Name three approaches to the mathematical modeling of control system

     Transfer function
     State space
     Differential equation
    16. Briefly describe each of your answers to question 15.

     Transfer function – the Laplace transform of the differential equation


     State-space – representation of an nth order differential equation as n simultaneous first-
    order differential equations
     Differential equation – Modeling a system with its differential equation
