Assignment Tasks - Answer all questions.

Task 1: A certain dynamic system structure has an equivalent block diagram shown in figure 1. The given parameters are mass is 6 Kg, damping factors b₁ = 9 N-s/m and b₂ = 15 N-s/m, and the spring constants k₁ = 10 N/m and k₂ = 8 N/m. Base on this diagram, determine the following.

i. Ordinary differential equation representing the dynamic;

ii. Convert the differential equation into a State Space equation. Consider displacement as the output.

Task 2: a. Multiple input-multiple output systems use state space representation to define the parametric interrelationship between inputs and outputs. Determine the controllability of the control system represented by the state space equation in figure 2 and justify your answer.

b. A recursive Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter output is given by y(n) = 3x(n)+2x(n-1)+3x(n-2)+2x(n-3)+x(n-4)+3y(n-1)+2y(n-2). Using basic building blocks, sketch the block diagram representation of the discrete-time system described by the input-output relation.

Task 3: A certain plant function has a transfer function of G_p(s) = 9/(s+3)(s+6). If the zero-order hold has a transfer function G_zoh = (1-e^(-Ts))/s determine the following.

i. Determine whether the given sampling of 0.15 second is satisfactory;

ii. The z-transform G(z) of the cascaded G_p(s) and G_zoh.

Task 4: As a control engineer, you are tasked to enhance the performance of an analog plant using a digital controller PID. The controller is in connected in series with the plant in a closed-loop configuration. The pulse transfer function is given as G_zohG_p(s) = (12(z+0.66))/(z-0.55)(z-0.45). Use sampling time as 0.3 second.

i. You are requirement to make the settling time of 2.5 seconds and damping ratio of zeta = 0.6. To meet these requirements, calculate the angle contribution of the digital controller (PID);

ii. Design a PID controller by determining its transfer function to meet the angle contribution calculated in (i). Use two identical PID controller-zeroes.

Task 5: For the given Process and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) of a chemical process system in figure 4:

i. Discuss the Control system aspect and instrumentation component functionalities of the system presented in the diagram.

ii. Identify and discuss the inputs and outputs of the interface module.
