ECE4510/ECE5510, INTRODUCTION TO FEEDBACK CONTROL 1–6
The control problem/solution methodology
!
Now that we have identified the main components of a feedback
control system, we consider the problem that a control system is
designed to solve, and the methodology for solution.
!
The objectives of any control-system design include:
• “Reject” disturbance (plant response to disturbance input
minimized).
• Acceptable steady state errors (response after a “long” time).
• Acceptable transient response (short-term dynamics).
• Minimize sensitivity to plant parameter changes (“robustness”).
!
Solutions are reached via the methodology:
1. Choosing output sensors.
2. Choosing actuators.
*3. Developing plant, actuator, sensor equations (models).
*4. Designing compensator based on the models and design criteria.
*5. Evaluating design analytically, with simulation and prototype.
*6. Iteration!! (In part because actual system will be different from
model.)
!
Steps 1 and 2 are sometimes out of our purview. Our focus in this
course is on steps 3–6.
!
In the next section, we will look at a lengthy example of these six
steps.
