Chapter 9 Automation Control System Section 1 Introduction Text New Words and Expressions Exercises End Scientific Thesis Writing :Main Body Section 1 Introduction Automatic control systems permeate life in all advanced societies today. Such systems act as catalysts in promoting progress and development. They are integral components of any industrial society and are necessary for the production of goods required by an increasing world population. Technological developments have made it possible to travel to the moon and to explore outer space. The successful operation of space vehicles, the space shuttle, space stations, and reconfigurable flight control systems depends on the proper functioning Section 1 Introduction of the large number of control systems used in such ventures. The DC shunt motor of Fig.9-1 is an example for open-loop control systems. For a given value of field current, a required value of voltage is applied to the armature to produce the desired value of motor speed. In this case the motor is the dynamic part of the system, the applied armature voltage is the input quantity, and the speed of the shaft is the output quantity. A variation of the speed from the desired value, due to a change of mechanical load Section 1 Introduction on the shaft, can in no way cause a change in the value of the applied armature voltage to maintain the desired speed. Therefore, the output quantity has no influence on the input quantity. Section 1 Introduction control function, and the output of this block is the desired output. A person could be assigned the task of sensing the actual value of the output and comparing with the command input. If the output does not have the desired value, the person can alter the reference-selector position to achieve this value. Introducing the person provides a means through which the output is fed back and is compared with the input. Any necessary change is then made in order to cause the output to
