Assignment objectives: using MATLAB to simulate and test control systems; self-
learning new concepts from the simulation.

QUESTION 1

What is the following MATLAB/Simulink simulation a representation of?

SOLUTION:

The MATLAB or Simulink simulation is a model of a closed-loop feedback control

system that only controls the first-order process proportionally. It is made up of a set-
point, a controller, a transfer function that represents a first-order process, and an
output (controlled variable).

QUESTION 2

Attach a copy of the Scope output for a step input of unit magnitude, occurring at a
time of 5 units into the simulation. Your simulation should run until the process
reaches steady state.

QUESTION 3

What is the final value of the Scope output variable when simulated until it reaches
steady state? Demonstrate/show/prove theoretically (i.e., without using Simulink)
that this value is correct.

SOLUTION:
C (s ) Note:
T ( s) =
R ( s)
G(s) = Forward Path of block diagram
C (s ) G(s)
= 1
R ( s ) 1+G ( s ) H (s ) G(s) = 2
s + 6 s +5

C (s )
=
( 1
2
s + 6 s +5 ) G(s)H(s) = Loops in block diagram

R (s ) 1+ 0 G(s)H(s) = 0

1 1
C ( s) = R(s) R(s0) =
2 s
s +6 s+5

C ( s) =
1 1
s +6 s+5 s
2 ()
The above uses that the step input of unit magnitude occurs at a time of 5 units into
the simulation. Then, applying the Final Value Theorem (FVT):

lim C ( t ) =lim sC ( s )
t→∞ s →0

lim C ( t ) =lim s
t→∞ s →0 ( 2
1
s +6 s+5 () 1s )
lim C ( t ) =lim s
t→∞ s →0 ( 2
1
s +6 s+5 () 1s )
1
lim C ( t ) =lim 2
t→∞ s →0 (0) +6 (0)+ 5

1
lim C ( t ) = =0.2
t→∞ 5

Final answer = 0.2

QUESTION 4

Add a PID controller to the process (as shown below) and re-simulate the response
to a point in time so that it reaches steady state. Use P = 50, I = 0, D = 4

Show the Scope output and describe what you notice.

Discuss your observation of the response in both transient and steady state region
and compare to your answer in part 1.

behaviour noticed.

QUESTION 6

In general, what do you conclude about PID controller in a process?

SOLUTION:

Ziegler and Nichols came up with tuning rules in 1942 to help engineers find
and set the right parameters for PID controllers. In the middle of the 1950s,
automatic PID controllers were finally used a lot in industrial facilities.

PID is an acronym for proportional integral derivative. PID is one type of

device used to control process variables such as temperature, speed, flow and
pressure in industry sectors. A control loop feedback device is utilized in this
controller to manage all process variables.

This sort of control is used to steer an otherwise level system in the direction
of a goal location. It is utilised nearly everywhere for temperature control and in
several scientific, automation, and chemical processes. In this controller, closed-loop
feedback is utilised to keep the actual output of a method as near to the target as
feasible, if not produced at a fixed point.
