Description of Assignment
Using MATLAB/ SIMULINK compute for the following questions.Show the results to your
lecturer and document them in the assignment reports.
PART 1:
1. Consider the problem of controlling an inverted pendulum on a moving base, as shown in
Figure 1.The transfer function of the system is
�(�) =
−1
⁄(���)
�2 − (�� + ��)�/(���)
The design objective is to balance the pendulum (i.e., �(�) ≈ 0 in the presence of
disturbance inputs. A block diagram representation of the system is depicted in Figure 2.
Let�� = 10 ��, �� = 100 ��, � = 1 �, � = 9.81 �/�2, � = 5, ��� � = 10. The design
specifications, based on a unit step disturbance, are as follows:
i. Settling time (with a 2% criterion) less than 10 seconds,
ii. Percent overshoot less than 40%, and
iii. Steady-state tracking error less than 0.1° in the presence of the
disturbance.

Figure 2
Develop a set of interactive m-file scripts to aid in the control system design.
a. The first script should accomplish at least the following:
i. Compute the closed-loop transfer function from the disturbance to the
output with K as an adjustable parameter.
ii. Draw the Bode plot of the closed-loop system.
iii. Automatically compute and output ��� and��. As an intermediate step,
use �
�� and �� and estimate ζ and��.
b. The second script should at least estimate the settling time and percent overshoot
using ζ and �� as input variables. If the performance specifications are not
satisfied, change K and iterate on the design using the first two scripts. After
completion of the first two steps, the final step is to test the design by simulation.
c. The functions of the third script are as follows:
i. Plot the response θ(t), to a unit step disturbance with K as an adjustable
parameter, and
ii. Label the plot appropriately.
Utilizing the interactive scripts, design the controller to meet the specifications using
frequency response Bode methods. To start the design process, use analytic methods to
compute the minimum value of K to meet the steady-state tracking error specification.
Use the minimum K as the first guess in the design iteration.

2.
Consider the feedback control system in Figure 3. We have three potential controllers for
our system:
i. Gc(s) = K (proportional controller)
ii. Gc(s) = K/s (integral controller)
iii. Gc(s) = K(\ + 1/s) (proportional, integral (PI) controller)
Figure 33
6ET006 Control System I
The design specifications are �� ≤ 10 seconds and �. �. ≤ 10% for a unit step input.
a. For the proportional controller, develop an m-file to sketch the root locus for 0 < K
< ∞, and determine the value of K so that the design specifications are satisfied.
b. Repeat part (a) for the integral controller.
c. Repeat part (a) for the PI controller.
d. Co-plot the unit step responses for the closed loop systems with each controller
designed in parts (a)-(c).
e. Compare and contrast the three controllers obtained in parts (a)-(c), concentrating
on the steady-state errors and transient performance.
(30 marks)
PART 2:
3. Consider the analogue control system shown in figure. By root locus analysis, it is found
that the closed loop natural frequency ωn =0.6 rad/sec. and the damping ratio is 0.5.
�(�) �� ����������� =
2.2(� + 0.1)
� + 0.01
�(�)�� ����� =
1
�(� + 1)(� + 4)
We wish to replace the analogue compensator by a digital one. Select a suitable
sampling interval and obtain an equivalent digital control algorithm using bilinear
mapping. Give the block diagram of digital control system. Using Simulink/Control system
tool box obtain the step response of digital and analogue implementation. Compare the
results.
(30 marks)
4. Produce a detailed report on any application of microcontrollers in controller designs for
real life application. Write about the kind of interfaces used for input and output data and
also why microcontrollers where used for controller designs. (1200 words).
(15 marks)
Brief
1. Calculate K value for the system. Write a MATLAB code to compute the closed loop
transfer function of the system. Plot the Bode plot and compute ��� and��.Compute
using MATLAB the setting time and percentage overshoot of the system for this value,
compute again for another. Plot the response to unit step response.
2. Obtain the controller gain for each. Using MATLAB sketch the root locus for the given
controller. Do the same for other two controllers. Plot the unit step response of the
controllers. Compare the three by finding the steady state error and transient response.
3. Using SIMULINK determine the unit step response for the given system. Compute
analytically the digital algorithm for the given system. Draw the block diagram4
6ET006 Control System I
representation for the digital system. Now using SIMULINK compute the response for the
digital system. Compare the two plots.
4. Write a report on any implementation of controller using microcontrollers for real life
application. Report must have details on the application of the controller, implementation
of the controller, interfaces used and why micro controllers are used to implement the
controller.

Plagiarism
All students share the responsibility for upholding the academic standards and reputation of the
University. Academic honesty is a prerequisite condition in the pursuit and acquisition of
knowledge. Academic dishonesty is any misrepresentation with the intent to deceive or failure
to acknowledge the source or falsification of information or inaccuracy of statements or cheating
at examinations/tests or inappropriate use of resources. There are many forms of academic
dishonesty and plagiarism is one of them. Plagiarism is generally defined as 'the practice of
taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own' (The New Oxford
Dictionary of English).
The University takes a serious view of plagiarism. Any student found to have committed or
aided and abetted the offence of plagiarism may be subject to disciplinary actions.6
