State Models
Linearization
State a collection of variables that summarize the past for

the purpose of predicting the future, e.g.
dx
= f ( x , u)
dt
y = g( x, u)
dx
= f ( x, u), y = g( x, u)
dt
The stationary solution x0 , u0 is obtained by solving the
equation f ( x0 , u0 ) = 0. For small deviations x = x0 + x,
u = u0 + u, y = y0 + x around the equilibrium we have
d x
= A x + B u
dt
x state, u control signal, y measured signal
The states describe storage of mass energy and momentum. Constitutive equations are also needed to obtain the
model.
y = C x + D u
dx
= Ax + Bu

y = Cx + Du

Think in scalars interpret as vectors and matrices!

eAt = Tet T 1 . The elements of eAt is a sum of terms e i t . In

Laplace Transforms
Some Properties of the Laplace Transform
Consider a function f defined on 0 t < and a real number

> 0. Assume that f grows slower than e t for large t. The
Laplace transform F = L f of f is defined as

L f = F ( s) =
est f (t)dt

An LTI system is stable if all eigenvalues of A are in the left half

plande or, equivalently, if the characteristic equation
det (sI A) = sn + a1 sn1 + a2 sn2 + . . . + an = 0
has all roots in the left half plane.

The Nyquist Criterion
Stability Margins
The margins express the distance from the Nyquist curve to
the critical point in different ways. Two classical measures: gain
margin gm and phase margin m. An alternative is the shortest
distance to the critical point 1 which is 1/ Ms , where Ms is the
maximum sensitivity.

A Ziegler Nichols Replacement
Computer Implementation
ZN is basically a sound method, BUT
Sampling, aliasing and anti-aliasing filters
Damping specified is too low < = 0.2

Too little process information (Two parameters ku, Tu )
An additional parameter give a big improvement

Some Observations

A system based on error feedback is characterized by four

transfer functions (The Gang of Four)
The basic feedback system with two degrees of freedom is
characterized by six transfer function (The Gang of Six)
To fully understand a system it is necessary to look at all
systems
Six transfer functions are required to describe the system

It may be strongly misleading to only show properties of

a few systems for example the response of the output to
command signals. This is a common error in the literature.
The properties of the different transfer functions can be
illustrated by transient or frequency responses.
A Possible Choice
The Sensitivity Functions
Six transfer functions are required to show the properties of a

basic feedback loop. Four characterize the response to load
disturbances and measurement noise.

The system is said to have two degrees of freedom (2DOF)

because there are separate signal paths from set-point to u
and from measured signal to u.

have basically the same properties and potentials."
Assume that process P, controller C and desired response M y

Determinants, Inverses, and Eigenvalues
A vector e is an eigenvector if Ae = se and the number s is

called an eigenvalue. We have
Consider the following matrices and their transpose

a11 a12
A=
a21
Determinants, Inverses, and Eigenvalues
Ae = se
a22
( sI A) e = 0
det ( sI A) = 0
The determinant is
det A = a11 a22 a12 a21
If the determinant is different from zero the matrix has an

inverse which is given by

1
a22 a12
1
A =
det A a21 a11
The eigenvalues are thus given by the characteristic equation

s a11
a12
= s2(a11 +a22)s+a11 a22 a12 a21
det (sI A) = det
a21
s a22
The roots of this equation are the eigenvalues of the matrix.
