STABILITY ANALYSIS OF LINEAR SYSTEMS
EX. NO. 2
Aim :
To analyze the stability of linear systems using Bode plot/ Root locus/ Nyquist plot.
Apparatus required :
A linear time-invariant system is stable if the following two notions of system stability are
satisfied;
When the system is excited by bounded input, the output is also a bounded output.
If the absence of the input, the output tends towards zero, irrespective of the initial
conditions.
The following observations are general considerations regarding system stability:
1. If all the roots of the characteristics equation have negative real parts then the
impulse response is bounded and eventually decreases to zero, then the system is
stable.
2. If any root of the characteristics equation has positive real parts, then the system is
unstable.
3. If the characteristics equation has repeated roots on j axis then the system is
unstable.
4. If one or more non repeated roots of the characteristic equation on the j axis
then the system is unstable.

Theory :
Locus is defined as a set of all points satisfying a set of conditions. The term root
refers to the roots of the characteristic equation, which are the poles of the closed-loop
transfer function. These poles define the time response of the system and hence the
performance and stability of the system. Hence, root-locus defines a graph of the poles of
the closed-loop transfer function as the system parameter, such as the gain is varied.
Evans root locus method, or simply root-locus method, gives all closed-loop poles
graphically, using the knowledge provided by the open-loop poles and open-loop zeros. A
root-locus plot is composed of as many individual loci as there are poles. Individual loci
are referred to as branches of the root locus.

2 PEC - 01 - - 1
THEORY:
A DC position control system is a closed loop control system in which the position
of the mechanical load is controlled with the position of the reference shaft. A pair of
potentiometers acts as error-measuring device. They convert the input and output
positions into proportional electric signals. The desired position is set on the input
potentiometer and the actual position is fed to feedback potentiometer. The difference
between the two angular positions generates an error signal, which is amplified and fed
to armature circuit of the DC motor. The tacho generator attached to the motor shaft
produces a voltage proportional to the speed which is used for feedback. If an error
exists, the motor develops a torque to rotate the output in such a way as to reduce the
error to zero. The rotation of the motor stops when the error signal is zero, i.e., when the
desired position is reached.

The rotor construction is usually of squirrel cage or drag-cup type. The squirrel
cage rotor is made of laminations. The rotor bars are placed on the slots and short-
circuited at both ends by end rings. The diameter of the rotor is kept small in order to
reduce inertia and to obtain good accelerating characteristics. Drag cup construction is
employed for very low inertia applications. In this type of construction, the rotor will be in
the form of hollow cylinder made of aluminum. The aluminum cylinder itself acts as

The rotor winding is applied with an AC supply voltage through slip rings and this rotor is held
fixed in a desired angular position say r (i.e. input or reference).This voltage causes a flow of
magnetizing current in the rotor coil which produces a sinusoidally time varying flux directed
along its axis and distributed nearly sinusoidally in the air gap along stator periphery. Because of
transformer action, voltages are induced in each of the stator coils. As the air gap flux is
sinusoidally distributed, the flux linking any stator coil is proportional to the cosine of the angle
between rotor and stator coil axis and so is the voltage induced in each stator coil.
Procedure :
1. Connect the digital voltmeter across the any two stator output of synchro transmitter
2. Connect the synchro transmitter stator outputs to corresponding stator terminals of synchro
receiver
3. Power ON the all ON/OFF switches

Aim :
To study and analyze the effect of P, PI, PID Controllers using MATLAB.
Apparatus required :
A proportional controller ( ) will have the effect of reducing the rise time and will
reduce but never eliminate the steady-state error. An integral control ( ) will have the effect of
eliminating the steady-state error for a constant or step input, but it may make the transient
response slower. A derivative control ( ) will have the effect of increasing the stability of the
system, reducing the overshoot, and improving the transient response. The effects of each of
controller parameters, , , and on a closed-loop system are summarized in the table
below.
Note that these correlations may not be exactly accurate, because , , and are dependent
on each other. In fact, changing one of these variables can change the effect of the other two. For

Exercise 1
Theory : The DC gain of the plant transfer function is 1/20, so 0.05 is the final value of the output
to an unit step input. This corresponds to the steady-state error of 0.95, quite large indeed.
Furthermore, the rise time is about one second, and the settling time is about 1.5 seconds. Let's
design a controller that will reduce the rise time, reduce the settling time, and eliminate the
steady-state error. Let's first view the open-loop step response. Create a new m-file and run the
following code:
Program :
t = 0:0.1:2;
n = [1];
d = [1, 10, 20];
s = tf (n, d);
c = step (s, t);
plot (t, c);
Result :
Thus the performance of Open-Loop Step response was analyzed using MATLAB and graph was
plotted.

overshoot, and reduces the steady-state error. The closed-loop transfer function of the above system with a

n1 = [300];
d1 = [1, 10, 320];
s1 = tf (n1, d1);
c1 = step (s1, t);

Thus the performance of Proportional control response was analyzed using MATLAB and graph was plotted.

( ) + (10 + ) + (20 + )
Let Kp equal 300 as before and let Kd equal 10. Enter the following commands into an m-file and
run it in the MATLAB command window.

and eliminates the steady-state error. For the given system, the closed-loop transfer function with
a PI control is:

Let's reduce the Kp to 30, and let Ki equal 70. Create a new m-file and enter the following
commands.

n3 = [30, 70];
d3 = [1, 10, 50, 70];

Theory:
Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and
vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum
gauges.A 'manometer' is an instrument that uses a column of liquid to measure
pressure, although the term is often used nowadays to mean any pressure measuring
instrument.A vacuum gauge is used to measure the pressure in a vacuum which is
further divided into two subcategories, high and low vacuum .The applicable pressure
range of many of the techniques used to measure vacuums has an overlap. Everyday
pressure measurements, such as for tire pressure, are usually made relative to ambient
air pressure. In other cases measurements are made relative to a vacuum or to some
other specific reference. When distinguishing between these zero references, the
following terms are used:
Absolute pressure is zero-referenced against a perfect vacuum, so it is equal to
gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure.

Theory:
The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) (also called just a differential
transformer, linear variable displacement transformer, or linear variable displacement
transducer) is a type of electrical transformer used for measuring linear displacement
(position). A counterpart to this device that is used for measuring rotary displacement
is called a rotary variable differential transformer. LVDTs are robust, absolute linear
position/displacement transducers; inherently frictionless, they have a virtually infinite
cycle life when properly used. As AC operated LVDTs do not contain any electronics,
they can be designed to operate at cryogenic temperatures or up to 1200 F (650 C),
in harsh environments, under high vibration and shock levels. LVDTs have been widely
used in applications such as power turbines, hydraulics, automation, aircraft, satellites,
nuclear reactors, and many others. These transducers have low hysteresis and excellent
repeatability. The LVDT converts a position or linear displacement from a mechanical
reference (zero, or null position) into a proportional electrical signal containing phase
(for direction) and amplitude (for distance) information. The LVDT operation does not
require an electrical contact between the moving part (probe or core assembly) and the
coil assembly, but instead relies on electromagnetic coupling.

Theory:
Optical sensors are based on the modulation of light travelling between a light
source and a light detector. The transmitter light along either an air path or a fibre-
optic cable. Either form of transmission gives immunity to electromagnetically induced
noise,and also provides greater safety than electrical sensor. When used in hazardous
environment.Light sources suitable for transmission across an air path include tungsten
-filament lamps,laser diodes,LED. However as the light from tungsten lamp is usually
in the visible part of the light frequency spectrum, it is prone to interference from the
sun and other sources.Due to this, infrared LEDs or infrared laser diodes are normally

Aim:
To find the effect of loading on strain gauge and find voltage difference using bridge
circuit.
Apparatus Required:
Theory:
The strain gauge is a transducer employing electrical resistance variation to sense the
strain produced by a force or weight. It is a very versatile detector for measuring
weight, pressure, mechanical force, or displacement. Strain, being a fundamental
engineering phenomenon, exists in all matters at all times, due either to external loads
or the weight of the matter itself. These strains vary in magnitude, depending upon the
materials and loads involved. Engineers have worked for centuries in an attempt to
measure strain accurately, but only in the last decade we have achieved much
advancement in the art of strain measurement. The terms linear deformation and strain
are synonymous and refer to the change in any linear dimension of a body, usually due
to the application of external forces. The strain of a piece of rubber, when loaded, is
ordinarily apparent to the eye. However, the strain of a bridge strut as a locomotive
passes may not be apparent to the eye. Strain as defined above is often spoken of as
"total strain." Average unit strain is the amount of strain per unit length and has
somewhat greater significance than does total strain. Strain gauges are used to
determine unit strain, and consequently when one refers to strain, he is usually
referring to unit strain. As defined, strain has units of inches per inch. Strain gauges
work on the principle that as a piece of wire is stretched, its resistance changes. A
strain gauge of either the bonded or the unbonded type is made of fine wire wound

Controlling the flow in piping systems is a significant issue in the chemical process
industries. Obviously, in order to control the flow in a pipe, the flow must be
measured. This experiment will introduce you to three devices that are used to
measure flow. One, the rotameter, is a simple mechanical device that is designed to be
read by an operator. It is rugged, relatively inexpensive, and easily installed. The
second, the orifice plate, can be set up to be read locally or remotely using pressure
transducers. Both are designed for flows that do not contain significant amounts of
solid material. The third, the magnetic flow meter, is a more sophisticated device than
either the rotameter or the orifice plate. It requires that the flowing material be
electrically conductive, but can measure flows with suspended material. Brief
descriptions of the three devices are on the attached pages, along with the simplified
directions and questions.

Aim:
To study the performance of an Instrumentation Amplifier.
Apparatus required:
Theory:
In analogue instrumentation, the transducers are frequently located some
distance away from the measurement system. A general purpose amplifier for
processing such signal should have following characteristics. a. It should have
differential inputs b. It should have high input impedance and CMRR. c. The amplifier
should be provided with simple gain adjustment. The instrumentation amplifier is a
dedicated differential amplifier with extremely high input impedance. Its gain can be
precisely set by a single internal or external resistor. The high common mode
rejection makes this amplifier very useful in recovering small signals buried in large
common mode offsets and noise. The instrumentation amplifier is a closed loop
device with carefully set gain. This allows the instrumentation amplifier to be
optimized for its role as signal conditioner of low level signals in large amounts of
noise. It consists of two carefully matched OP-AMPS. Each input v1 and v2 is
applied to the non-inverting input terminals of its OPMP. This OPAMP configured as
a voltage follower, produces the instrumentation amplifier's very high input
impedance. The outputs of the OPMPS are connected together through a string of
resistors. The two resistors R 2 are internal to integrated circuit while R 1 is the gain
setting resistor. It may be internal or connected externally.

R-2R LADDER NETWORK DAC:
The digital to analog converter is to convert digital input signal to analog output signal
and is usually operated at the same frequency as the ADC. The output of DAC converter is
commonly a staircase. This staircase like digital output is passed through a smoothing filter
to reduce the effect of quantization noise. The accuracy and stability of a DAC depends
upon the accuracy of the resistors and the tracking of each other with temperature. There is
however a number of problems associated with this type of DAC. One of the disadvantages
of binary weighted type DAC is the wide range of resistor values required. It may be
observed that for better resolution, the input binary word length has to be increased. Thus
as the number of bit increases, the range of resistance value increases. The largest resistor is
128 times the smallest one for only 8-bit DAC. For a 12-bit DAC, the largest resistance
required is 5.12 M if the smallest is 2.5k. The difficulty of achieving and maintaining
accurate ratios over such a wide range especially in monolithic form restricts the use of
weighted resistor DAC to below 8-bits. Wide ranges of resistors are required in binary
weighted resistor type DAC. This can be avoided by using R-2R ladder type DAC where only

Aim:
1. To determine the self inductance of the coil (L) using Andersons bridge.
2. To calculate the value of inductive reactance (X L) of the coil at a particular frequency.
Pre-Requisites:-
Apparatus:
Theory:
AC bridges are often used to measure the value of unknown impedance (self/mutual
inductance of inductors or capacitance of capacitors accurately). A large number of AC
bridges are available and Anderson's Bridge is an AC bridge used to measure self inductance
of the coil. It is a modification of Wheatstones Bridge. It enables us to measure the
inductance of a coil using capacitor and resistors and does not require repeated balancing of
the bridge. The bridge is balanced by a steady current by replacing the headphone H by
moving coil galvanometer and A.C source by a battery. This is done by adjusting the
variable resistance, r. After a steady balance has been obtained, inductive balance is
obtained by using the A.C source and headphone.
Connections can make using connection wire by click and drag option.
Notes:
1. Since the impedances of the arms should be of the same order of magnitude, the
approximate value of L should be determined by some other method.
2. Sometimes it may be impossible to obtain the balance by varying r and S. Then the
formula for L with a value of RQ which satisfies formula for S may require negative value of
r. If the product CRq is greater than L, then variable resistance r will be a negative
quantity. It will, therefore, not possible to obtain a balance point under such
conditions.Hence it is desirable to know the value of L approximately so that CRQ is less
than L. A balance is then obtained with a positive value of r. The value of P and R should be
then be adjusted so that r is a positive quantity and a balance can be obtained by varying
the value of r.
To obtain balance point a cathode ray oscilloscope can be used in place of heat phone.
