Definition of a control system;
The control system consists of subsystems and process (or plant) assembled for the purpose of controlling the output with desired performance, given a specified input.

Cont’d…Cont’d…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.
Example:(i) Elevator
When pressed fourth-floor from first floor, the elevator rises to the fourth floor with a speed and floor-leveling accuracy design for passenger comfort.

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

(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.
8
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.

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.
1.4 Close-Loop System.1.4 Close-Loop System.

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.
1.5 The Design Process.1.5 The Design Process.
11
Transfer function is the ratio of the output over the input variables.
The output signal can then be derived as; C = GR

Transient state A state whereby the system response after a perturbation
before the response approach to a steady conditionSteady 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.
