1. Introduction • Block diagram is a shorthand, graphical representation of a physical system, illustrating the functional relationships among its components. OR • A Block Diagram is a shorthand pictorial representation of the cause-and-effect relationship of a system.

2. Introduction • The simplest form of the block diagram is the single block, with one input and one output. • The interior of the rectangle representing the block usually contains a description of or the name of the element, or the symbol for the mathematical operation to be performed on the input to yield the output. • The arrows represent the direction of information or signal flow.

3. Introduction • The operations of addition and subtraction have a special representation. • The block becomes a small circle, called a summing point, with the appropriate plus or minus sign associated with the arrows entering the circle. • Any number of inputs may enter a summing point. • The output is the algebraic sum of the inputs. • Some books put a cross in the circle.

4. Components of a Block Diagram for a Linear Time Invariant System • System components are alternatively called elements of the system. • Block diagram has four components: • Signals • System/ block • Summing junction • Pick-off/ Take-off point

5. In order to have the same signal or variable be an input to more than one block or summing point, a takeoff point is used. • Distributes the input signal, undiminished, to several output points. • This permits the signal to proceed unaltered along several different paths to several destinations.

6. Example-1 • Consider the following equations in which x1, x2, x3, are variables, and a1, a2 are general coefficients or mathematical operators.

7. Example-1 • Consider the following equations in which x1, x2, x3, are variables, and a1, a2 are general coefficients or mathematical operators.

8. Example-2 • Consider the following equations in which x1, x2,. . . , xn, are variables, and a1, a2,. . . , an , are general coefficients or mathematical operators.

9. Example-3 • Draw the Block Diagrams of the following equations.

10. Topologies • We will now examine some common topologies for interconnecting subsystems and derive the single transfer function representation for each of them. • These common topologies will form the basis for reducing more complicated systems to a single block.

11. CASCADE • Any finite number of blocks in series may be algebraically combined by multiplication of transfer functions. • That is, n components or blocks with transfer functions G1 , G2, . . . , Gn, connected in cascade are equivalent to a single element G with a transfer function given by

12. Example • Multiplication of transfer functions is commutative; that is, GiGj = GjGi for any i or j .

13. Cascade: Figure: a) Cascaded Subsystems. b) Equivalent Transfer Function. The equivalent transfer function is

14. Parallel Form: • Parallel subsystems have a common input and an output formed by the algebraic sum of the outputs from all of the subsystems. Figure: Parallel Subsystems.

15. Parallel Form: Figure: a) Parallel Subsystems. b) Equivalent Transfer Function. The equivalent transfer function is

16. Feedback Form: • The third topology is the feedback form. Let us derive the transfer function that represents the system from its input to its output. The typical feedback system, shown in figure: Figure: Feedback (Closed Loop) Control System. The system is said to have negative feedback if the sign at the summing junction is negative and positive feedback if the sign is positive.

18. The control ratio is the closed loop transfer function of the system. • The denominator of closed loop transfer function determines the characteristic equation of the system. • Which is usually determined as: Characteristic Equation

19. Canonical Form of a Feedback Control System The system is said to have negative feedback if the sign at the summing junction is negative and positive feedback if the sign is positive.
