Chapter 1: Introduction to Control Systems Objectives

In this chapter we describe a general process for designing a control system. A control system consisting of interconnected components is designed to achieve a desired purpose. To understand the purpose of a control system, it is useful to examine examples of control systems through the course of history. These early systems incorporated many of the same ideas of feedback that are in use today. Modern control engineering practice includes the use of control design strategies for improving manufacturing processes, the efficiency of energy use, advanced automobile control, including rapid transit, among others. We also discuss the notion of a design gap. The gap exists between the complex physical system under investigation and the model used in the control system synthesis. The iterative nature of design allows us to handle the design gap effectively while accomplishing necessary tradeoffs in complexity, performance, and cost in order to meet the design specifications.

Introduction

System An interconnection of elements and devices for a desired purpose.

Control System An interconnection of components forming a system configuration that will provide a desired response.

Process The device, plant, or system under control. The input and output relationship represents the cause-andeffect relationship of the process.

Illustrations

Introduction
Open-Loop Control Systems utilize a controller or control actuator to obtain the desired response.

Closed-Loop Control Systems utilizes feedback to compare the actual output to the desired output response.

History
18th Century James Watts centrifugal governor for the speed control of a steam engine. 1920s Minorsky worked on automatic controllers for steering ships. 1930s Nyquist developed a method for analyzing the stability of controlled systems 1940s Frequency response methods made it possible to design linear closed-loop control systems 1950s Root-locus method due to Evans was fully developed 1960s State space methods, optimal control, adaptive control and 1980s Learning controls are begun to investigated and developed. Present and on-going research fields. Recent application of modern control theory includes such non-engineering systems such as biological, biomedical, economic and socio-economic systems ???????????????????????????????????
