BLOCK DIAGRAM REPRESENTATION

MADE BY - NIRALI MONANIBRANCH - ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATION

INTRODUCTION

• A Block Diagram is a shorthand pictorialrepresentation of the cause-and-effectrelationship of a system.

• The interior of the rectangle representing theblock usually contains a description of or thename of the element, gain, or the symbol for themathematical operation to be performed on theinput to yield the output.

• The arrows represent the direction of information or signal flow.

COMPONENTS OF BLOCK DIAGRAM

ADVANTAGES OF BLOCK DIAGRAM

• THE FUNCTIONAL OPERATION OF THE SYSTEM CAN BE OBSERVED FROM BLOCK DIAGRAM

• BLOCK DIAGRAM GIVES THE INFORMATION ABOUT PERFORMANCE OF SYSTEM

• BLOCK DIAGRAM IS USED FOR ANALYSIS & DESIGN OF CONTROL SYSTEM

• IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO CONSTRUST THE BLOCK DIAGRAM FOR BIG & COMPLICATED SYSTEM

DISADVANTAGES OF BLOCK DIAGRAM

• BLOCK DIAGRAM FOR GIVEN SYSTEM ARE NON UNIQUE

• SOURCE OF ENERGY IN THE SYSTEM IS NOT SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAM

• IN THE PROCEDURE OF REDUCTION OF BLOCK DIAGRAM ALGEBRA SOME IMPORTANT FUNCTIONSMAY BE OMITTED . THERE IS NO CHECK FOR IT

• IT DOESN’T GIVE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE SYSTEM

Canonical Form of A Feedback Control System

Characteristic Equation

• The control ratio is the closed loop transfer function of the system.

• The denominator of closed loop transfer function determines thecharacteristic equation of the system.

• Which is usually determined as:
