SUMMARY

The discussion centers on analyzing a single transfer lag in an open-loop system, specifically involving a distance-velocity lag of 4 seconds and a single transfer lag of 5 seconds. Participants clarify that "single transfer lag" likely refers to a first-order lag, which can be mathematically represented by the equation output change = input change (1-e^-t/T). The correct time for the output to change by 4 units, given a step disturbance from 2 to 12 units, is determined to be approximately 10.2 seconds, factoring in both the distance-velocity lag and the transfer lag.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of first-order lag systems
  • Familiarity with Laplace transformations
  • Knowledge of exponential functions and their applications in control systems
  • Ability to interpret and plot step response graphs
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the mathematical representation of first-order lags in control systems
  • Learn about Laplace transform applications in system analysis
  • Explore graphical methods for analyzing step responses in control systems
  • Investigate the differences between various types of lags, including transport delay and pure time delay
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in electrical engineering, particularly those focusing on control systems, as well as anyone involved in analyzing dynamic system responses.

Please note that this thread is bit old and that @Tromso80 was last seen here in August 2021. The thread itself is more than 4 years old. It is unlikely that you will get a response to your query. This question is outside my expertise, otherwise I would help you. Your best bet would be to start a new thread in one of the engineering forums.
Ok Thanks for the heads up, I was not sure if duplicate threads were ok, cheers

We often see the same problems with different numbers in the homework forums. That's OK as long as the same problem is not posted by the same user in two separate threads.
