Open-loop systems

Block diagram of control systems: open-loop system

Open-loop systems do not monitor or correct the output for disturbances;
however, they are simpler and less expensive than closed-loop systems

Closed-loop systems

Block diagram of control systems: Closed-loop system

Closed-loop systems monitor the output and compare it to the input. If an error
is detected, the system corrects the output and hence corrects the effects of
disturbances

Control systems analysis and design focuses

• Producing the desired transient response
• Reducing steady-state errors
• Achieving stability

The Design Process:

Step 1: Determine a physical system and specifications from requirements

Step 2: Draw a functional block diagram

Step 3: Represent the physical system as a schematic

Step 4: Use the schematic to obtain a mathematical model, such as a block

diagram

Step 5: Reduce the block diagram

Step 6: Analyze and design the system to meet specified requirements and
specifications that include stability, transient response, and steady-state
performance
