Answer: The feedback control system's five applications include input, output, the process
being controlled, sensing elements, the controller, and actuating devices.
2. Name the advantages and disadvantages for using feedback control systems?
Answer: One benefit of feedback control systems is that data is gathered at the process output.
As a result, frictional and pressureless disturbances are taken into account by the control. The
capability of feedback control systems to stabilize unstable processes by monitoring system
output is another benefit. The biggest drawback of a feedback control system is the system's
temporal latency. The output reaction will be the first indication of a process variation that
occurred early in the process. After that, the process inputs will be modified to address the
errors. Because of many factors, the entire process may dramatically diverge, causing
disruption and inaccuracy.
Answer:
• Mechanical systems consisting of a mass, spring, and damper with a constant for positioning
the mass. – CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM
Answer: Closed-loop systems adjust the response to account for disturbances after measuring
it and comparing it to the input response or the anticipated output. The output has an impact on
the input quantity in a way that causes it to adjust in reaction to the output produced.
5. Name the three major criteria for control systems.
Answers: The three major criteria for control systems are the following:
• state response: the nature of the response after it has reached steady-state
• steady-state
• transient response.
Answer: A typical control system analysis task is just to evaluate the system's performance.
And. Consider transient response and steady-state error to see if the system met the needed
specifications.
Answer:An example of a typical control system design task is when developing a control
system, some components would need to be added or the system's parameters would need to
be altered since the steady-state error and the transient reaction fell short of the system's
standards or needs.
Answer: The three approaches in mathematical modeling of control systems are the following:
• differential equations.
10. A temperature control system operates by sensing the difference between the thermostat
setting and the actual temperature and opening a fuel valve an amount proportional to this
difference. Draw a functional closed-loop block diagram identifying the input and output
transducers, the controller, and the plant. Further, identify the input and output signals of all
subsystems previously discussed
