What is Control systems: Definition and 104 Discussions
A control system manages, commands, directs, or regulates the behavior of other devices or systems using control loops. It can range from a single home heating controller using a thermostat controlling a domestic boiler to large industrial control systems which are used for controlling processes or machines.
For continuously modulated control, a feedback controller is used to automatically control a process or operation. The control system compares the value or status of the process variable (PV) being controlled with the desired value or setpoint (SP), and applies the difference as a control signal to bring the process variable output of the plant to the same value as the setpoint.
For sequential and combinational logic, software logic, such as in a programmable logic controller, is used.
I am having a problem with plotting Bode plots in Matlab. We are required to plot a e^(-sT) (simple time shift) as a Bode plot. The "bode" function in Matlab requires either a TF, ZPK, SS, or FRD system as its first input. I cannot seem to find out how to plot the exponential. I can easily plot...
Hello there,
I just got a question in control systems that i need help on... Hopefully, somebody genius on this forum can help me out..
If F(s) = 1 / (5s + 1)
1) Determine the DC gains of the open loop system and the closed loop system
2) Determine the time constant of the open loop...
Hi I am currently working my way through a control systems textbook and I am bringing my understanding of the relevant mathematics up to speed. I have happened across the Laplace Transform which I am happy enough with. I am concerned however that given the fact that this is a real project I may...
