The main objectives are: To define a control system To identify the open loop and closed loop control systems To list some examples of control system To understand time domain and fre&uency domain analysis of control systems re&uired for stability analysis. To understand the compensation techni&ue that can be used to stabili'e control systems
Compensation[edit !here are a number of different compensation units that can be employed to help fi" certain system metrics that are outside of a proper operating range# $ost commonly, the phase characteristics are in need of compensation, especially if the magnitude response is to remain constant# %hase Compensation[edit &ccasionally, it is necessary to alter the phase characteristics of a given system, without altering the magnitude characteristics# !o do this, we need to alter the fre'uency response in such a way that the phase response is altered, but the magnitude response is not altered# !o do this, we implement a special variety of controllers (nown as phase compensators# !hey are called compensators because they help to improve the phase response of the system#
!here are two general types of compensators: Lead Compensators, and Lag Compensators# )f we combine the two types, we can get a special Lead-Lag Compensator system# *hen designing and implementing a phase compensator, it is important to analy+e the effects on the gain and phase margins of the system, to ensure that compensation doesn't cause the system to become unstable# phase lead compensation:, - it is same as addition of +ero to open loop !. since from pole +ero point of view +ero is nearer to origin than pole hence effect of +ero dominant# %hase /ead
The basic ingredients of a control system can be described by: 1. input signal.$u% 2. (ontrol system components. 3. )esults or outputs.or controlled variable $y% . *n general+ the objective of the control system is to control the outputs in some prescribed manner by the inputs through the elements of the control system.
frequency response linear time invariant systems have the important property that if the input to the system is sinusoidal+ then the steady state output will also be sinusoidal at the same fre&uency but in general with different magnitude and phase. These magnitude and phase differences as a function of fre&uency comprise the frequency response of the system.
Stability
-any system should be stable the output should be predictable finite for a !iven input ,)f all poles of the transfer function 0values of s at which the denominator e'uals +ero1 have negative real parts, then the system is stable# ,)f any pole has a positive real part, then the system is unstable# ,)f we view the poles on the comple" s,plane, then all poles must be in the left half plane 0/2%1 to ensure stability# ,)f any pair of poles is on the imaginary a"is, then the system is marginally stable and the system will oscillate#
Compensation ,if the system is unstable,then compensation is re'uired to stabili+e the system ,compensation can also be provided to stable systems to obtain the desired performance

2 Types
a% open loop control system b% closed loop control system Open-Loop Control Systems "#onfeedbac$ Systems% A type of control system that uses only an input signal to actuate an output# !here is no automatic feedbac( to adjust the process, so adjustments must be made manually by the operator#
An open-loop controller, also called a non-feedback controller, is a type of controller that computes its input into a system using only the current state and its model of the system# A characteristic of the open,loop controller is that it does not use feedbac( to determine if its output has achieved the desired goal of the input#
An open-loop control is a control type that computes its input into a system using only the current state and its model of the system. It does not use feedback to determine whether its output has achieved the expected goal. a system which does not automatically correct the variation in its output is called open loop system
closed loop control system "&eedbac$ Control Systems%' ( system that maintains a prescribed relationship
bet)een the output and the reference input by comparin! them and usin! the difference as a means of control is called a feedback control system. examples
