· Condsider the example of a DC servo motor controlled by a computer. The purpose of the controller is to position the motor. The system below shows a reasonable control system arrangement. Some elements such as power supplies and commons for voltages are omitted for clarity.
· This system can then be redrawn with a block diagram.
· The block diagram can now be filled out with actual values for the components. Do this below.
· Convert the block diagram into a transfer function for the entire system.
· Pick a value of the gain 'K' to give a system performance with the damping factor = 1.0.
