2.1 Introduction
In control system, the analysis of characteristics and performances are simplified
by system representation. The use of Laplace transform is essential to determinea transfer function that describes the relationship between input and output of the
system. Block diagram and signal flow graph are very convenient and natural
tools to represent the components, multiple subsystems and entire control
system. Complex block diagrams of the system can be simplified by using block
diagram reduction technique to obtain the transfer function. The transfer function
also can be obtained through signal flow graph representation.
2.2 Transfer function
The transfer function of a system is defined as the ratio of the Laplace
Transformof the output to the input as show in Figure 2.1:

the transfer function equation for the system in Figure 2.1 may represent in

2.3 Laplace Transform in Transfer Function
In control system analysis, Laplace transform plays an important role in order to
determine the transfer function that describes the relationship between input and
output of the system. The review of Laplace transform is essential before transfer
function of control system is determined.
2.3.1 Introduction to Laplace Transform
Laplace transform is use widely in control system analysis. The transfer function
of a control system is defined in sdomain and provides valuable information
about stability and performance of a closed loop or feedback control system.
Laplace transform is a method of operational calculus that takes a function of
time (t-domain) and converts it to a function of complex variable s (s-domain).
The Laplace transform of a function of time, f (t) is defined as
0
)()()( dtetfsFtfL st
where;
f (t) = function in time domain
s = complex variable ( s = + j )
F(s) = Laplace transformation of f(t)
The reverse process of finding the time function f(t) from the Laplace transform
F(s) is called as Inverse Laplace Transform. The inverse Laplace transform of
F(s) is defined as

2.4 Control System Block Diagram
Control system may consist of a number of components. To simplify the analysisof control system components, a diagram called block diagram is used to
represent the components and system.
2.4.1 Basic Block Diagram
A block diagram of a system is a pictorial representation of the function
performed by each component and the flow of signals.
Figure 2.2 shows elements of the block diagram;
Figure 2.2: Elements of Block Diagram
The arrowhead pointing toward the block indicates the input signal while the
arrowhead leading away from the block represents the output signal. G(s) is
represented the block diagram transfer function.
2.4.2 Summing Point
Refer to Figure 2.3(a) and (b); a circle with a cross is the symbol that indicates a
summing point operation. The plus (+) or minus (-) sign at each arrowheadindicates whether that signal is to be added or subtracted. For system with minus

plus (+) sign has positive feedback as shown in Figure 2.3 (b).

2.4.3 Branch Point
A branch pointis a point, from which the signal from a block goes concurrently to
other blocks or summing point as shown in Figure 2.4;

Figure 2.5: Closed Loop System
The output C(s) is fed back to the summing point where it is compared with the
reference input R(s). The output of the block, C(s) is obtained by multiplying thetransfer function, G(s) by the input to the block, E(s) where
C(s) = G(s) x E(s)
When the output is fed back to the summing point for comparison with the input, it
is necessary to convert the form of the output signal to that form of the input
signal using sensor or transducer (example : temperature voltage). Thisconversion is accomplished by the feedback element whose transfer function is
H(s) as shown in Figure 2.6.
Figure 2.6: Closed Loop System with Feedback Element H(s)
The feedback signal that fed back to the summing point is B(s) where
B(s) = H(s) x C(s).
H(s) also called as feedback path transfer function, where itis define as the ratio
of the Laplace transform of B(s) to the C(s), where

In most cases, the feedback element is a sensor or transducers that measureand convert the output of the system. When the output is compared with the input
signal, the actuating error signal, E(s) is generated where
E(s) = R(s) B(s).
2.6 Closed Loop Transfer Function
From Figure 2.6, the transfer function that relate output, C(s) to the input, R(s) is
called as closed loop transfer function which can be derived as follows;

2.7 Open Loop & Feed Forward Transfer Function
The transfer function of open loop system also can be obtained from closed loop
system block diagram. The ratio of the feedback signal B(s) to the actuating error
signal, E(s) or the product of G(s).H(s) is called as the open loop transfer
function;
Open Loop Transfer Function(OLTF) = )().()(
)(sHsG

The ratio of the output C(s) to the actuating error signal, E(s) is called as
feedforward transfer function orforward path transfer function;
Feedforward / Forward Path Transfer Function = )()(

If the feedback element H(s) is unity, then the open loop transfer function and the
feed forward transfer function is equal.

2.8 Block Diagram Reduction Technique
Closed loop control system may contain a large number of blocks and may
involve multiple feedbacks or feed forward paths. It is necessary to reduce the
block diagram to simplified form before an overall transfer function can be
obtained.
The rules of block diagram reduction technique as shown in Table 2.1 can be
used to simplify the complex blocks diagram:
