equations known as mathematical model. These models are
useful for analysis and design of control systems.
• Analysis of control system means finding the output when we know
the input and mathematical model.

 Differential equation
• Differential equation model is a time domain mathematical model
of control systems.
• Describes dynamics of the system[ Eg mechanical, electrical,
thermal system etc]
• Obtained by using physical laws [ Eg Newton’s law for mechanical system
and Kirchhoff’s laws for electrical systems. ]
• Follow these steps for differential equation model.
1. Apply basic laws to the given control system.
2. Get the differential equation in terms of input and
output by eliminating the intermediate variables

of output (response function) and Laplace transform of input (driving function) by assuming all
the initial conditions are zero.
• If 𝑥(𝑡) and 𝑦(𝑡) are the input and output of an LTI system, then the corresponding Laplace
are 𝑋(𝑠) and 𝑌(𝑠). Therefore, the transfer function of LTI system is equal to
the ratio of 𝑌(𝑠) and

• Mechanical systems are of two types:
1. Translational mechanical system ( motion along straight line)
2. Rotational mechanical system (motion about fixed axis)
• Modeling of Mechanical components (i.e mass , spring & damper) done for
both mechanical systems (i.e translational & rotational)
• Following steps are used for modeling of the mechanical components:
1. Assume the system is in equilibrium.
2. Assume some displacement for given force.
3. Draw the free body diagram of forces exerted on each mass in the system.
4. Apply Newton's law of motion to each diagram, using the convention that any force acting in the
direction of assumed displacement is positive.
5.Rearrange the equations in a suitable form to be solved by any
means. Note: Mass O point exist for :
1. System with no mass between elements
2. System with open ended element

opposed by opposing forces due to mass, elasticity and friction of

zero.

• Three phase squirrel cage induction motors have constant speed and
make them the first choice for industrial drives . But in control

over a wide range of speeds.

AC servomotor motor
• The servomotors basically two phase induction motor and is used in low power servomechanism.
• It basically consists of a stator and a rotor as shown in fig below:

1) Stator
• carries two windings, uniformly distributed and displaced by 90oin space, from each other.
• One winding is called as main winding or fixed winding. The reference winding is excited by a constant voltage a.c. supply. or reference
winding
• The other winding is called as control winding. It is excited by the variable control voltage, which is obtained from a servo amplifier.
• The winding are 90oaway from each other and control voltage is 90oout of phase with respect to the voltage applied to the reference
winding. This is necessary to obtain rotating magnetic field.
• To reduce the loading on the amplifier, the input impedance i.e. the impedance of the control winding in increased by using a tuning
capacitor in parallel with the control winding
2) Rotor: squirrel cage rotor
• Built with high resistance so that X/R ratio is small and torque slip characteristics is nearly linear in contrast to the highly non-linear
characteristics with large X/R ratio.
• Diameter is kept small in order to reduce inertia and thus obtain good accelerating characteristics

 Modeling of
the important type of transducer Transducers
• Transducers are the electrical components which convert one form of energy into another form. The potentiometer is
which is used for mechanical displacement either linear or angular. Thus, it is an
electromechanical transducer which converts the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
• The potentiometer is the electrical type of transducer or sensor and it is of resistive type because it works on the
principle of change of resistance of the wire with its length. The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the
length of the wire, thus as the length of the wire changes the resistance of the wire also changes.
• The potentiometer is an electric circuit in which the resistance can be changed manually by the sliding contacts. The
typical potentiometer is shown in the figure below. Here the voltage Vs is applied across the two points of the wire A
voltage 𝑉𝑜 is measured between the points A and C.

• As per the resistance law of the conductor, the resistance of the conductor AC changes as the length of the wire AC

 Modeling of Operational amplifiers
• Operational amplifiers often called Op-amps are used to amplify signals in sensor
circuits. Op-amps are also frequently used in filters used for compensation purposes.
The ground is taken as 0 volt to measure input voltages e1 and e2 relative to the ground.
• The transfer functions of different operational amplifiers are given below:

𝑣0 = −(𝑣1 + 𝑣2 + 𝑣3)
Thus, the output signal is the sum of all the input signals.

iv) Integrator
A circuit that performs the mathematical integration of input signal is an
integrator. For example, if the input signal to the integrator is a square wave,

𝑣+ = 0
the output will be a triangular wave.

𝑣+ − 𝑣− ≅ 0
As we know,

∴ 𝑣− = 𝑣+ = 0

KCL at terminal 𝑣− gives:

the input to the differentiator is triangular wave, the output will be a square wave.

• Two systems are said to be analogous to each other if the following
two conditions are satisfied.

same
• Electrical systems and mechanical systems are two physically different

current analogy)
• Each junction in the mechanical system corresponds to a closed loop which consists of
electrical excitation sources and passive elements analogous to mechanical
driving sources and passive elements connected to the junction. All the points
connected to the rigid mass are considered as the junction.

Force current (𝑭 − 𝑰) analogy : (RLC parallel ckt; junction  node)

• Each junction in the mechanical system corresponds to a node which joins electrical
excitation sources and passive elements analogous to mechanical driving sources
and passive elements connected to the junction. All the points connected to the
rigid mass is considered as the same junction and one terminal of the
capacitance analogous to mass is always connected to the ground. The reason for
connecting the one terminal of the capacitance analogous to mass is always
connected to the ground is that velocity of mass is always referred to earth.
• In force current analogy, the mathematical equations of the translational mechanical
system are compared with the nodal equations of the electrical system.

5) Linearized approximations of non-linear characteristics
2.5 Linearized approximations of non- linear
characteristics:
Note: Linearization of the non-linear system is done using Taylor's series

• A normal operation of the system may be around an equilibrium point in control engineering, and the
signals may be considered small signals around the equilibrium.

• However, if the system operates around an equilibrium point and if the signals involved are small signals,
then it is possible to approximate the nonlinear system by a linear system.

• Such a linear system is equivalent to the nonlinear system considered within a limited operating range.
Such a linearized model (linear, time-invariant model) is very important in control engineering.

• The linearization procedure to be presented in the following is based on the expansion of nonlinear
function into a Taylor series about the operating point and the retention of only the linear term.
Because we neglect higher-order terms of the Taylor series expansion, these neglected terms must
be small enough; that is, the variables deviate only slightly from the operating condition.

• To obtain a linear mathematical model for a nonlinear system, we assume that the variables deviate only
slightly from some operating condition. The necessary conditions during the linearized approximations
of non -linear characteristics are given below:
1. Principle of Homogeneity
2. Principle of Superposition
• Most physical processes are non-linear, & we therefore develop non-linear mathematical models. We can
linearize the non-linear models . The principal of linearization is shown in figure:

• We linearize mathematical model because:

1. It simplifies the model
2. We want to study the system close to a working point
3. We can apply analysis and design methods for linear systems
• The example of linearized approximations of non- linear characteristics of a mass sitting on non linear
spring with its spring force versus y graph is shown below:
