Control Theory

In the last tutorial, we understood the basics of the operation performed by a controller or a compensator. In this tutorial, we shall learn about the “Proportional, Integral and ...

In the previous tutorial, we understood the root locus plot and how to analyse the stability of a system through it. We now start learning a new chapter which is going to be on ...

In the previous tutorial, we learned about the Routh Hurwitz Criterion and how we can use it to determine the stability of control systems. We also discussed the special cases ...

In the last tutorial, we started with the Routh Hurwitz Criterion to check for stability of control systems. We ended the last tutorial with two characteristic equations. As was ...

With the background obtained on stability in the previous tutorial, we shall start this tutorial on the Routh-Hurwitz criterion (RH Criterion for short).First, let’s understand ...

In the previous chapter, we learned about the time response analysis of control systems. Starting with this tutorial, we shall discuss the stability of control systems. We shall ...

In the previous tutorial, we understood several time response specifications and how they are crucial in the design of control systems. Error in a system is also one such crucial ...

In the previous tutorial, we learned about first order systems and how they respond to various inputs with the help of Scilab and XCOS. In this tutorial we will continue our time ...

In the previous tutorial, we familiarized ourselves with the time response of control systems and took a look at the standard test signals that are used to study the time response ...

In the previous tutorial, we learnt about signal flow graphs and completed the first chapter in our control systems tutorial series. With this tutorial, we shall be starting with ...

In the last tutorial, we understood how we can represent a system by means of block diagrams. As the complexity of the block diagram increases, this approach will start giving us ...

In the last tutorial, we learnt about transfer functions. In this tutorial we shall learn about block diagrams in control systems. A block diagram is an intuitive way of ...

In the previous tutorial, we saw how we can model physical systems. In this tutorial, we shall move forward to learn about transfer functions. Before that, why do we need a ...

XCOS is a tool in Scilab that is used to model and simulate dynamic systems that is similar to Simulink in MATLAB. XCOS can be used for both continuous time and discrete time ...

Scilab is a free, open-source numerical computation software that is similar to the popular MATLAB. In this tutorial series, we shall see how we can use Scilab to model and ...
