Introduction

The control systems can be represented with a set of mathematical equations known as mathematical model. These models are useful for analysis and design of control systems. Analysis of control system means finding the output when we know the input and mathematical model. Design of control system means finding the mathematical model when we know the input and the output.

The following mathematical models are mostly used.

  • Differential equation model
  • Transfer function model
  • State space model

Differential Equation Model

Differential equation model is a time domain mathematical model of control systems. Follow these steps for differential equation model.

  • Apply basic laws to the given control system.
  • Get the differential equation in terms of input and output by eliminating the intermediate variable(s).

Example:

Consider the following electrical system as shown in the following figure. This circuit consists of resistor, inductor and capacitor. All these electrical elements are connected in series. The input voltage applied to this circuit is vi and the voltage across the capacitor is the output voltage vo.

  • The above equation is a second order differential equation.

Transfer Function Model

Transfer function model is an s-domain mathematical model of control systems. The Transfer function of a Linear Time Invariant (LTI) system is defined as the ratio of Laplace transform of output and Laplace transform of input by assuming all the initial conditions are zero.

  • If x(t) and y(t) are the input and output of an LTI system, then the corresponding Laplace transforms are X(s) and Y(s).
  • Therefore, the transfer function of LTI system is equal to the ratio of Y(s) and X(s).
    i.e., Transfer Function = Y(s)/X(s)
  • The transfer function model of an LTI system is shown in the following figure.

  • Here, we represented an LTI system with a block having transfer function inside it. And this block has an input X(s) & output Y(s).

Example:

  • Previously, we got the differential equation of an electrical system as

  • Where,
    • vi(s) is the Laplace transform of the input voltage vi
    • vo(s) is the Laplace transform of the output voltage vo
  • The above equation is a transfer function of the second order electrical system. The transfer function model of this system is shown below.
