Control system2
1. What is control system?
A system consists of a number of components connected together to
perform a specific function . In a system when the output quantity is
controlled by varying the input quantity then the system is called control
system.
2. What are the two major types of control system?

the two major types of control system are open loop and closed loop
3. Define open loop control system.
The control system in which the output quantity has no effect upon the input
quantity are called open loop control system. This means that the output is
not feedback to the input for correction.
4. Define closed loop control system.
The control system in which the output has an effect upon the input
quantity so as to maintain the desired output value are called closed loop
control system.
5. What are the components of feedback control system?
the components of feedback control system are plant , feedback path
elements, error detector and controller.
6. Define transfer function.
The T.F of a system is defined as the ratio of the laplace transform of output
to laplace transform of input with zero initial conditions.
7. What are the basic elements used for modeling mechanical
translational system.
Mass M, spring K and dashpot or damper B
8. What are the basic elements used for modeling mechanical rotational
system?
2
Control system3
Moment of inertia J,dashpot or damper B and
spring K
9. Name two types of electrical analogous for mechanical system.
The two types of analogies for the mechanical system are
Force voltage and force current analogy
10. What is block diagram?
A block diagram of a system is a pictorial representation of the functions

performed by each component of the system and shows the flow of
signals.The basic elements of block diagram arew block, branch point and
summing point.
11. What is the basis for framing the rules of block diagram reduction
technique?
The rules for block diagram reduction technique are framed such that any
modification made on the diagram does not alter the input output relation.
12. What is a signal flow graph?
A signal flow graph is a diagram that represents a set of simultaneous
algebraic equations .By taking L.T the time domain differential equations
governing a control system can be transferred to a set of algebraic equations
in s-domain.
13. What is transmittance?
The transmittance is the gain acquired by the signal when it travels from
one node to another node in signal flow graph.
14. What is sink and source?
Source is the input node in the signal fow graph and it has only outgoing
branches. Sink is a output node in the signal flow graph and it has only
incoming branches.
15. Define nontouching loop.
3
Control system4
The loops are said to be non touching if they do not have common nodes.

16. Distinguish between open loop and closed loop system
Open loop Closed loop
1.Innaccurate Accurate
2.Simple and economical Complex and costlier
3.The changes in output due to The changes in output due to
external disturbance are not corrected external disturbances are corrected

automatically
4.They are generally stable Great efforts are needed to design a
stable system
17. Why is negative feedback invariably preferred in closed loop system?
The negative feedback results in better stability in steady state and rejects
any disturbance signals.
