Lecture Slide 1: Introduction To Control Systems

This document provides an introduction to control systems, including: - Definitions of open-loop and closed-loop control systems, with the key difference being that closed-loop systems use feedback to make corrections and are more accurate. - Examples of control systems including temperature control, flight control, fluid level control, and more. - Components of a basic control system including sensors, controllers and final controlling elements. - Objectives of control system analysis and design including producing desired transient response, reducing steady-state error and achieving stability.

INTRODUCTION TO 
CONTROL SYSTEMS

S116 IDL 1
Definitions

CONTROL SYSTEM – a group of components, plants, processes 
assembled for controlling 

In other word, a control system provides an output or
response for a given input or stimulus as shown in 
Figure 1.1.

Figure 1.1 Simplified description of a control system

Control System Configurations

Open‐Loop System
• Does not have a loop
• Thus it does not have corrective action

Closed‐Loop System
• Actual / current condition is taken as a data to calculate the 
necessary corrective action needed.
• Corrective action is needed to maintain the desired value.
• Positive or negative feedback???

The Differences..

Closed-Loop System Open-Loop System

Have the feedback path. Does not have the feedback path.

Output response: greater accuracy. Output response: not accurate.

Less sensitive to noise, disturbances Sensitive to noise, disturbances


and changes in the environment. and changes in the environment.

The system can compare the output The system cannot correct the
response with the input and make a disturbances.
correction if there is any difference.
More complex and expensive. Simple and inexpensive.

Response Characteristics

Input/stimulus – a desired
response
Output – the actual response
Transient response – a gradual
change before the steady-
state response
Steady-state response – after
the transient response, which
is its approximation to the
desired response
Steady-state error – the

Analysis and Design Objectives

Three major objectives
1. Producing the desired transient response
2. Reducing steady‐state error
3. Achieving stability

Elevator
• a) Early elevators were 
controlled by hand ropes 
or an elevator operator. 
• b) 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.
