Lab # 06:
Introduction to “lsim” and Time Response of 1st and 2nd Order
Systems

Controls Systems Lab # 6
Objective:
To implement transfer function.
Introduction to LSIM command.
To evaluate and analyze responses of first and second order systems.
In-lab:
Task 1: The standard form of a first order system is
1
𝐺(𝑠)=
Ts+1
Where T is the time constant of the system. For this transfer function:
Plot step response using step function for T=1, 2 and 3 seconds.
Comment the effect of time constant on the speed of the system response.
Use ‘lsim’ for generating step response and compare the results with the ones
calculated in part a.

In this task, transfer function’s step response with the varying time factor is plotted.
Furthermore, system is plotted using lsim command for step and impulse inputs.
(b) By increasing the time value, response time slowed down. Settling time delayed by
increase in T.
Task 2: The standard form of a first order system is
1
𝐺(𝑠)=
s +1
For this transfer function:
Simulate and give response using command ‘lsim’ function with input u=sin(t)
and u=exp(-t).
Plot impulse and step response using MATLAB and SIMULINK and compare
results of the two.
In this task, response of system was plotted using lsim command when inputs were
sinusoid, exponential, step and impulse. Graphs are attached along with the MATLAB
code. In the second task, the impulse and step response, obtained by using MATLAB,
was verified with SIMULINK. Both results are same and can be observed in the figure
below.

Task 3: For wn =10rads/sec, plot the step response for general second order system for
zeta=0, 0.7, 1, 1.5, and compare the four systems.

In this task, transfer function is calculated using the given equation in pre-lab and then specifying
numerator and denominator. Then, step response is plotted using different values of zeta. MTALAB
code and plots are shown.
Task 4: For the four systems given in task 1 plot their poles and identify the effect of
pole locations on the settling time of the system.

Settling time increased as the poles become closer to the origin.
Task 5: Plot %OS vs. damping ratio and analyze the plot carefully.

In this task, percentage overshoot and damping ratio is plotted using the formula given in pre-
lab.
Post-lab:
