4. 1.1 Introduction. Application of control systems;
Rocket fire, space shuttle lifts off the earth orbit, self guided vehicle and ect.
God created automatically controlled systems in human body; pancreas, which regulate the blood sugar, our adrenaline increases along the heart rate causing more oxygen to be deliver to our cells.
Definition of a control system;
The control system consists of subsystems and process (or plant) assembled for the purpose of controlling the output of the process.

Advantages of control systems;
Can move large objects with precision; for example (i) elevator, (ii) radar antenna to pickup strong radio signal and (iii) robot to operate in the dangerous environment.
(i) Elevator
Figure 1.1
Early elevators were controlled by hand ropes or an elevator operator.
Modern Duo-lift elevators make their way up the Grande Arche in Paris, driven by one motor, with each car counterbalancing the other. Today, elevators are fully automatic, using control systems to regulate position and velocity.

Figure 1.4: Rover was built to work in contaminated areas at Three Mile Island in Middleton, PA, where a nuclear accident occurred in The remote controlled robot’s long arm can be seen at the front of the vehicle.

9. 1.2 Basic Terminologies. (a) Sub-system and System
subsystem subsystem subsystem
System is a combination of physical and non-physical components that are configured to serve certain tasks to maintain the output
Subsystem is part of the system that is grouped for a certain function
(b) Plant subsystem
input output
Plant is a subsystem where an output signal is derived from the input signal

room
thermostat

(c) Input and Output
Input = Stimulus
Output = Response

(d) System Response
Ability of system to achieve desired result is measured in terms of system response: comparison of output versus input.
Transient response.
Steady State Response.
Steady State Error.

12. 1.3 Open Loop System.
Disturbance is the unwanted signal that may sway the output .
Controller is a subsystem that is used to ensure the output signal follows the input signal.
The Open-Loop System cannot compensate for any disturbance that add to the system.
Example; bread toaster.

13. 1.4 Close-Loop System.
The Close-Loop (feedback control) System can overcome the problem of the Open Loop System in term of sensitivity to disturbance and inability to correct the disturbance.

14. 1.5 The Design Process.
The design of a control system follows these steps;
Step 1: Transform Requirement into a Physical System.
Step 2: Draw the Functional Block Diagram.
Step 3: Create the Schematic.
Step 4: Develop the Mathematical Model or Block Diagram.
Step 5: Reduce the Block Diagram.
Step 6: Analyze and Design.

17. 1.7 Block Diagram.
Transfer function is the ratio of the output over the input variables.
The output signal can then be derived as; c = Gr

fs - reaction force

26. 1.10 Design Analysis. Transient state
A state whereby the system response after a perturbation before the response approach to a steady condition
Steady state
A state whereby the system response becomes steady after a transient state.
Stability
The condition of the steady state. If the response converges to a finite value then it is said to be in a stable condition and if the response diverges, it is known to be unstable.
A system must be stable in order to produce the proper transient and steady state response.
Transient response is important because it effects the speed of the system and influence human patience and comfort.
