WEEK 03: BLOCK DIAGRAMS


Sections: Configuration | Summer | Take-off Point | Element/Block | Solutions | Student's Tasks

Block Diagram

Definition. A graphical representation of the flow of information and the functions performed by each component of the system. This diagrams are characterized by rectangular blocks containing the transfer functions defining each component. The diagram represents the manner in which the functional components are connected the the mathematical equations (basically the transforms) that determine the response of each component. Block diagrams are used for single input, single output control systems.

Configuration

The following sections illustrate the most common manipulations of respective configurations, and their equivalent signal resolutions.

Summer Manipulation / Resololution

Take-off Point Manipulation / Resolution

Element/Block Manipulation / Resolution

Futhermore, examples for the two solutions for block diagram are also explained.

Students Tasks

Note. It is imperative that the student should practice on block diagramming as well as their in obtaining their correct solutions. This is designed to give the students some experience and actual application of the techniques learned.

I. Assignment No. 01 The Assignment should be submitted on the next meeting. Click here for details. Any questions should be addressed directly to me.

II. Problem Set. This is optional or not rquired for submission. For additional problems / practice set on block diagramming, click here. Should you want to practice some more, e-mail your request or use this form.
