A Brief write-up
In Control System Lab four numbers of codes EC-583, EE-593, EI-593(EE) and EE-
691 are performed. In these code the following Experiments has been
conducted.
i) Familiarization with MATLAB control system toolbox, MATLAB simulink
toolbox and PSPICE
ii) Determination of step response for first order and second order system
with unity feedback on CRO & calculation of control system specification
like Time constant, % peak overshoot. Settling time etc. from the response
iii) Simulation of Step response & impulse response for type-0, type-1 &
type-2 system with unity feedback using MATLAB & PSPICE
iv) Determination of Root locus, Bode plot, Nyquist plot using MATLAB control
system toolbox for 2nd order system & determination of different control
system specification from the plot
v) Determination of PI, PD and PID controller action of first order simulated
process
vi) Evaluation of steady state error, settling time, percentage peak overshoot,
gain margin, phase margin with additional lead compensator in forward
path transfer function using MATLAB and PSPICE
vii) Tuning of P, PI and PID controller for first order plantwith dead time
using Z-N method. Process parameters (time constant and delay/lag) will
be provided. The gain of the controller to be computed by using Z-N
method. Steady state and transient performance of the closed loop plant
to be noted with and without steady disturbances. The theoretical phase
margin and gain margin to be calculated manually for each gain setting
viii) Design of Lead, Lag and Lead-Lag compensation circuit for the given
plant transfer function. Analyze step response of the system by
simulation.
ix) Obtain transfer function of a given system from state variable model and
vice versa. State variable analysis of a physical system - obtain step
response for the system by simulation
x) State variable analysis using simulation tools. To obtain step response
and initial condition response for a single input, two output system in SV
form by simulation.
xi) Performance analysis of a discrete time system using simulation tools.
Study of closed response of a continuous system with a digital controller
and sample and hold circuit by simulation.
xii) Study of the effects of nonlinearity in a feedback controlled system
using time response. Determination of step response with a limiter
nonlinearity introduced into the forward path of 2nd order unity
feedback control systems. The open loop plant will have one pole at the
origin and the other pole will be in LHP or RHP. To verify that (i) with
open loop stable pole, the response is slowed down for larger amplitude
input (ii) for unstable plant, the closed loop system may become
oscillatory with large input amplitude by simulation.
xiii) Study of effect of nonlinearity in a feedback controlled system using
phase plane plots. Determination of phase plane trajectory and
possibility of limit cycle of common nonlinearities.
xiv) Study of position control system using Servo motor
xv) Design and hardware implementation of a temperature controller using
Microprocessor / Microcontroller
xvi) Determine the effect of PID actions on first order simulated process and
obtaining the system transfer function from bode plot.
