Questions Answer
What is a control system? A control system is a collection of components that work together to achieve a desired outcome. It is a system that takes in a set of inputs, processes them, and produces a set of outputs.
What is the purpose of a control system? The purpose of a control system is to maintain a desired output by manipulating the inputs. It is used to regulate the behavior of a system and ensure that it operates in the desired manner.
Name three types of control systems. Three types of control systems are open loop systems, closed loop systems, and feedback control systems.
What is the difference between an open loop system and a closed loop system? An open loop system is one in which the output of the system does not affect the input. A closed loop system is one in which the output of the system affects the input.
What is the difference between a feedback control system and a feedforward control system? A feedback control system is one in which the output of the system is used to adjust the input. A feedforward control system is one in which the output of the system is used to anticipate the input.
What is a PID controller? A PID controller is a type of feedback control system that uses three parameters (proportional, integral, and derivative) to adjust the input of the system.
What is the purpose of a PID controller? The purpose of a PID controller is to ensure that the output of the system is maintained at the desired level by adjusting the input of the system.
What is the difference between a proportional controller and an integral controller? A proportional controller is one in which the output of the system is proportional to the input. An integral controller is one in which the output of the system is affected by the integral of the input.
What is the transfer function of a system? The transfer function of a system is a mathematical representation of the relationship between the input and output of the system.
What is the purpose of a transfer function? The purpose of a transfer function is to provide a way to analyze the behavior of a system and to determine how the system will respond to different inputs.

Control Systems Practice Sheet

Introduction

Control systems are a type of electrical engineering used to control the behavior of a system. It is used in a variety of industries, from manufacturing to aerospace engineering.

This practice sheet will help you learn about control systems and how they work. We will start with the basics and gradually increase the difficulty level as you progress.

Basics

  1. What is a control system?

A control system is a collection of components that work together to control the behavior of a system. It can be used to control the speed, position, or other aspects of a system.

  1. What are some common components of a control system?

Common components of a control system include sensors, actuators, controllers, and feedback loops. Sensors measure the state of the system, actuators change the state of the system, controllers process the data from the sensors and decide how to actuate the system, and feedback loops provide information to the controller to help it make decisions.

  1. What is a feedback loop?

A feedback loop is a loop of information that is used to control the behavior of a system. It consists of a sensor that measures the state of the system, a controller that processes the data from the sensor, and an actuator that changes the state of the system. The feedback loop is used to ensure the system behaves in a certain way.

Practice Problems

  1. A manufacturing plant is using a control system to maintain the temperature of a furnace. The temperature of the furnace is measured by a sensor and the data is sent to a controller. The controller then decides how to actuate the furnace to maintain the desired temperature.

  2. An aerospace engineering team is designing a control system for a rocket. The control system will be used to control the speed and direction of the rocket. The system will include sensors to measure the speed and direction of the rocket, a controller to process the data, and actuators to change the speed and direction of the rocket.

  3. A car is using a control system to maintain its speed. The speed of the car is measured by a sensor and the data is sent to a controller. The controller then decides how to actuate the car to maintain the desired speed.

  4. A robotic arm is using a control system to move a block from one location to another. The position of the block is measured by a sensor and the data is sent to a controller. The controller then decides how to actuate the robotic arm to move the block to the desired location.
