SHORT QUESTION
1. What is control system?
A system consists of a number of components connected together to perform a specific
function. In a system when the output quantity is controlled by varying the input quantity
then the system is called control system.
2. What are the two major types of control system?
The two major types of control system are open loop and closed loop
3. Define open loop control system.
The control system in which the output quantity has no effect upon the input quantity is
called open loop control system. This means that the output is not feedback to the input for
correction.
4. Define closed loop control system.
The control system in which the output has an effect upon the input quantity so as to
maintain the desired output value is called closed loop control system.
5. What are the components of feedback control system?
The components of feedback control system are plant, feedback path elements, error
detector and controller.
6. Distinguish between open loop and closed loop system
7. Why negative feedback is invariably preferred in closed loop system?
The negative feedback results in better stability in steady state and rejects any disturbance
signals.
8. Define transfer function.
The transfer function of a system is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of output to
Laplace transform of input with zero initial condition.
9. What are the basic elements used for modeling mechanical translational system.
Mass, spring and dashpot.
10. What are the basic elements used for modeling mechanical rotational system?
Moment of inertia J, dashpot with rotational frictional coefficient B and torsional
spring with stiffness K.
11. Write the force balance equation of an ideal mass element.
F = M d2 x/dt2
12. Write the force balance equation of ideal dashpot element.
F = B dx/dt
LONG QUESTION
1 Explain block diagram with its
basic element?
Block diagram can be a single block or a combination of blocks that
represents a control system in pictorial form.
A simple block diagram featuring two blocks, summing and takeoff points.
Advantages of block diagram:
It is easy to represent even a complicated control system in block diagram.
The flow of signals and function of each blocks can be easily understood.
Advantages of block diagram reduction technique:
It is easy to reduce the block diagram and derive the overall transfer function
by following reduction rules.
Limitations:
It takes more time to reduce a big system as the reduced diagram has to be
drawn at each step.
Explain Types of Control systems
Ans-
Types of Control systems:
Control systems are of two types.They are
1)Open Loop System
2)Closed Loop System
1)Open loop control system:
Any physical system which does not automatically correct the variation in its
output is called an open loop system or control system in which the output
quantity has no effect upon the input quantity are called open loop control
system.This means that the output is not feedback to the input for correction.
In open loop control system, the output can be varied by varying the input.But
due to external disturbances, the system output may change.When the output
changes due to disturbances, it is not followed by changes in input to correct the
output.In open loop systems, the changes in output are corrected by changing
the input manually.
2)Closed loop control system:
Control systems in which the output has an effect upon the input quantity in
order to maintain the desired output value are called closed loop systems.
The open loop system can be modified as closed loop system by
providing a feedback.The provision of feedback automatically corrects the
changes in output due to disturbances.Hence the closed loop system is also called
automatic control system.The general block diagram of an automatic control
system is shown in the figure below.It consists of an error detector, a controller,
plant (open loop system) and feedback path elements.
The reference signal (or input signal) corresponds to the
desired output.The feedback path elements sample the output and convert it to
the same type as that of the reference signal.The feedback signal is proportional
to the output signal and it is fed to the error detector.The error signal
generated by the error detector is the difference between the reference signal
and the feedback signal.The controller modifies and amplifies the error signal to
produce better control action.The modified error signal is fed to the plant to
correct its output.
